Sony Press Release
On November 13th, Sony will be launching their official PS companion app. If you carry an Android or iOS device, you will be able to bypass having to give out your phone number.

Press Release wrote:The following features are available on PlayStation®App:
Directly access various PSN(SM) features and information

Users can access their own profile screen.
Users can access/compare their own and friends' Trophy accomplishments.
Exchange messages between PS4 systems, PlayStation®3 (PS3™) systems, PlayStation®Vita (PS Vita) systems, and mobile devices installed with PlayStation®App.
Access and filter friend profiles.
Notify users about their friends' shared activities on "What's New".
Notify PS4 users when they receive any new notifications or game invitations. Users can also display their lists of game items.
Browse the official PlayStation® website and access information

Users can access the PlayStation® official website to browse through news, blogs and game information. The language and content of the website will depend on the country the user's Sony Entertainment Network account is registered.
PS4 Second Screen Feature

Users can install PlayStation®App on to their mobile devices to use as a second screen in supported games. For example on THE PLAYROOM, a title pre-installed in all PS4 systems that requires PlayStation®Camera, users can draw pictures on their mobile device screens and flick them towards the TV. The images then appear as a 3D object within the game.
Spectate other PS4 users' gameplay

When users' friends upload or begin live streaming their gameplay on PS4 systems, the friends' activities are displayed on "What's New" of the PlayStation®App screen. When users tap on this notification, they can boot pre-installed applications, such as browsers, to spectate the uploaded gameplay. Users can also post comments on gameplay screenshots, footage and live streams.
Purchase game content on PlayStation®Store

Users can purchase game content*2 while away from home and download it directly onto their PS4, PS3, and PS Vita*3 systems.
Use a mobile device as a simple remote to control the PS4 system

Once installed, users can use their PlayStation®App to control their PS4 system as long as both devices have access to the same Wi-Fi access point. For example, users can switch their PS4 system to standby mode, startup their PS4 system from standby mode, and use their mobile phone as a keyboard for their PS4 system.

3 weeks until the end of sharing phone numbers (unless you don't use an Android or iOS device).

Playstation Blog | Playstation App 2.0 updates

Along with the PS4 moving to 2.0, the mobile app is as well, and it's sorely needed. Hopefully messaging gets fixed, both in the app and on the console.

Tablets get a brand new design.
Phones get an overhauled home screen (that was hideously ugly to begin with).
