Phone number verification (HowTo?)

[milisav_r]

I need an information about 

• Phone number verification
  
  How may I verify my phone and get the Phone Number Verified Badge under Verifications on the left side on my Profile, below my Verified ID Badge?
  
  Like on the screenshot below, anyone?

Hi Milisav,

We used to offer phone verification at freelancers' request and some freelancers who completed it then may still have legacy badges. However, we don't offer this process at the freelancers' request anymore.

Not sure I understand this and why but that's fine. platform has many strangfe decisions they make so basically some older coleagues like me has it and some of us don't. Do you think that is fair when client decides to hire between 2 of us?
I know I would always give my chance to more thrustworthy person (with both phone and ID verified) if I work with both for the 1st time...

This, like many other things on platform just does not make any sense...
