Whatever they do, they won't spam us like those private banks, insurance 
companies etc. The benefit you get is password recovery.

I don't think you can change the mobile sms recovery number you set. I 
havn't tried it out yet, but believe that google should implement it the way
* You try to remove your mobile number
* A sms is sent to this number giving an un-subscribe code
* You have to go to the "remove sms recovery" page and enter this code.

I will check out whether this is the implementation or not.
