Just ran into another case of this...

Reputable online seller of <things> in Canada, medium-sized, one of maybe half a dozen options at the national level.

Go to buy <object> for several hundred dollars. Fine.

Whether I try to create an account, or checkout as guest, it wants my phone number. Fine, credit card companies want that as an additional line of defence against fraud.

However... before you can continue to the next step, you have to "click to receive a verification code" that you need to enter to complete the form.

And it must be trying to send that code by SMS/text, because I'm not getting it. My phone is a landline; there's no way to text it. They don't try email or sending the code by robot-voice to the phone number, either.
