Generally the process plays out as such...
1. Enter your number & choose "Call" with a code or "Text" with a code.
2. Click the "Send" or "Call" button.
3. Enter the code provided to you.
4. Click confirm, and wait.
Your account should be confirmed and connected to your mobile phone number
after that (general) process.
This is important because many times you may be able to enable mobile
authentication from foreign locations (as mentioned before and will be many
times). This means that you can be alerted via mobile any time there's
something going on with your account that may be out of the ordinary.
Building on top of that, you can often use your mobile number as a means to
reset or gain access to said (connected) account in the event that you happen to
lose access, your account is stolen or compromised, or you simply forget your
password.
Any time you have the opportunity to add or connect a mobile phone to a
pertinent account, you should definitely consider doing such.
