to prove you arent a purely digital entity and can somehow get a real verifiable phone number rather than spoofing random numbers you cannot identify.

this focusing on phones is an expression of the culture of communication of the people involved, and the centrality of the phone in 50s-90s culture is a lunchboxism.

you may notice most phones look like lunchboxes, and voice transmission quality has favored the tin can speak and spell sound even as technology advanced and made this unnecessary c.1971.

the old dog and bone is itself another lunchbox reference per the dog and its bone.

last time i entered my phone in a new google account i got hacked
