Then on the next page click on setup. Then at the option"Notify contacts and share data" click on "Add trusted contact". In this you can add up to 10 contacts.

Contacts, Drive, Hangouts, Mail, Picasa Web Albums, Reader, YouTube. You can also select all of them. On the same page it asks you to enter the mobile number.
