Your statement that "None Of Reasons Apply" is unfortunately not specific enough to help me help you.

As you know, some phone numbers are not usable for phone verification. These include:

phone numbers from outside the U.S. or Canada
pre-paid mobile numbers
toll-free numbers (area codes 800, 877)
some Voice over IP (VOIP) phone numbers (including Cricket, MetroPCS)

(This information is from this Craigslist page, which you may want to review for further guidance.)

If you can't discern the reason for the rejection of your phone number, you can of course ask Craigslist with this Craigslist form, but you may not get an answer. A better course is to use the phone number of a buddy who'll stand by and relay the verification code to you.
