Yahoo! one mobile number, how many yahoo accounts?

Hi; I have tried a web search about this but not finding clear definite information.

Maybe really, two different but related questions.

How many Yahoo accounts can I create and verify using ONE same mobile phone number?

(To) How many Yahoo accounts can I add the ONE same mobile phone number for account recovery purposes?

Realize, I have 1 Yahoo account and "2" accounts which use Yahoo for providing email service. That part is complicated; it's the internet service provider which has allowed the "2" accounts, so like someusernames@theISPname.com but the email service is through Yahoo.

I think you'd expect "a few" to be the answer to each question.

There must be some groups of people (couples, families, whatever) where there is only one mobile phone that they share, and you would not expect any provider of services to require each person to have their own phone, just so that they could verify / recover other things.
