    I think Mark has taken this step to reduce creation of fake account. But I agree with you on "Why should a Social Networking site need phone verification?"

    It is due to less spamming on facebook and real accounts so that all accounts are real

    Your first sentence answers the question in the title. Not hard to figure out security is added due to people that agree to TOS then intentionally violate 'em.

    If the returns are there you'll fight the boredom (poor baby), if not then Facebook wins and another spammer walks away.

    They think that they can copy Google doing this but the other side is that they want our contact informations nothing more

    To stop the newbies from making fake accounts.. However this is an obstacle that can be bypassed easily :)

    In my opinion phone verification is good...It is most important, since most of the persons are creating more fake profiles...It's also good for avoiding spamming..

    i am sure you might have seen the cases when you go some famous brand or show rooms or large shopping malls there you see the security checks etc as compared to the common shops or the common brand not too popular, Same is the case with the popular online brand you might have found that how deep details they are asking for like phones no.s security question etc it is just for the privacy example likes Gmail a/c creation , fb ETC

    it is for security purposes, because lately facebook's security isn't that hard, but then again the phone verification isn't that hard to get through.
