My old card was laminated, that and a birth certificate. Dmv refused to take either because of the lamination.

Checking it from the US, it looks like propaganda and brainwash fuel.
Some networks are whitelisted where as others they treat as VPNs (like the school). For instance apple stores or retail stores you might have greater success as they typically whitelist most of those locations.
Device type will also make a difference because google is a pita.
If you used that phone in the past with google services that's the reason it bypassed sms. When using a fresh android on a vpn and off a vpn, I've been prompted for phone numbers.
The best bypass not attaching to previous accounts or identities i found was creating on hotel or public networks. I was able to set up accounts for nvidia shields on hotel networks and bypassed the sms verification. After taken home they were placed on a subnet that only talks to the local server.
My first ss card was very basic. Only a background image all clearly visible and it was falling apart until I laminated it.
The birth certificate clearly showed the seal and was still raised even with the limainate sheet over.
It certainly didn't hide or obscure anything.
