Why GroupMe asks for a phone number

A GroupMe account is tied to a phone number, and that number is often visible to the people you chat with. Signing up with a separate number keeps your personal one out of that circle.

Good to know

A number is for one verification. If GroupMe sends a new code to it later, you will not see it.
If you will use the account for a long time, add your own contact details in the GroupMe settings after setup.
Following the GroupMe rules is up to you; the number only keeps your own number private.
