The "Conservative" Coign credit card

Tried to apply today, but they require a cell phone number to 'verify' the applicant and begin the process. When I said that I don't have a cell phone by choice, they suggested I borrow a friend or family member's phone to confirm my identity!!! Wait --- you're going to verify MY identity with a friend or family's cell phone number??? For a credit card??? Exactly how??? No way to apply without some cell phone number from somewhere/anywhere that receives text messages from somewhere or someone. What a potential source of identity theft. They assured me repeatedly that I can access my account and do business with them without a cell phone after the initial application, and that the cell phone will not have access to my account in any way, so why do they need a cell phone that isn't even mine to start the application. What part of that is "conservative"??? And how is it possible that a company can require you to have/borrow/use a piece of equipment in order to create an account to do business with them when it is not required, by their own admission, to actually do business with them.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Calling everyone in a position to fix this. Obviously, this company doesn't want/need my business. Maybe doesn't need yours, either???
