Preventing abuse? It's much harder to create a throwaway phone number than a throwaway email address.

You'd rather hand over your credit card than your phone number? I think most people would see it the other way around.

Credit card is easily changed. Phone number is much more difficult.

You credit card is also easily charged.

Your phone number isn't.

What is a company going to do with your phone number that you're worried about...?
