Since I don't expect to hear from them again I will go ahead and post my email correspondence with Mistertango support (timeline is from the bottom up, names and addresses have been removed...).

Hello again
"Borrowing" a friends smartphone would compromise their privacy and security just so I can get verified. You could easily get the documentation you need from a PC on the Internet, so I don't see any reason why you really need all these permissions on a smartphone...
Version 1.11.9 can access:
Location
precise location (GPS and network-based)
Phone
read phone status and identity
Photos/Media/Files
read the contents of your USB storage
modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
Storage
read the contents of your USB storage
modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
Camera
take pictures and videos
Device ID & call information
read phone status and identity
Other
receive data from Internet
view network connections
pair with Bluetooth devices
full network access
run at startup
draw over other apps
control vibration
prevent device from sleeping
If having a smartphone is a requirement then I won't be needing the service. Please delete my account if that is the case.
Sincerely,
Kanati.

Dear Support department
I started to open a MT account, and saw I needed a smart phone to confirm my ID. Then I created a support case to ask if it is possible to use the service with a PC instead of a smart phone, but when I try to check the status of the support case the web page does not recognize my login credentials (which I also think is strange!).
Do I need a smart phone to use this service?
Sincerely,
Kanati.
