Hubpages keeps asking to put my phone number in for verification but this does not work. I am putting the right number in it just says can not contact me on this number. I live in the UK

I have just tried to publish a new hub, and have been told that HubPages needs my telephone number before I can publish it. I have never encountered this before and think there is something strange. Is this something new for HubPages, or am I right to suspect something strange?
