Cheap Nokia from ebay £5 and a PAYG sim £10 - does it for me.
Chuck the SIM if you start getting spam calls, and get another.

Deosn't matter it's just a verification that you have a physical object to provide a login code, many banks etc use this technique

They do, according to Rheumatoid above. If correct, providing a mobile number that you can't access at all would not be advisable.

Do you have the choice of email or mobile? If so, you could simply opt for email verification - with the caveat email might be less reliable/slower than SMS.
