I run into mandatory mobile phone number inputs in on-line forms from time to time. While I do have a cell phone now, I don't use it a lot and don't have the number memorized. If I enter my land line # or a fake #, they will still send texts to the number.

Some places are verifying the number is registered with a mobile provider too. I have a home VOIP line that accepts texts and I can send them too, and I use it when I don't want to give out my cell #. Some sites won't take it though, knowing it's not a cell carrier. Some won't take Google Voice numbers either.
