I just tried to list an item on CL (APC UPS< too heavy to eBay/ship) and now CL requires a phone number verification. I think this is good, should cut the number of scams

A minute ago you were happy about it and thought it would cut down on scams. Now you're unhappy because scammers can't easily get around it . . .?

dude! it's a good feature if it works properly, sucks when it does not work. Why should it refuse to ring on OOMA? how is a cell phone more secure than a VOIP line? and why only some VOIP lines would not work???

I even tried a cell phone and would still not ring.
