I know we can we omit 'with' without changing the meaning of the sentence, but wouldn't it be nicer to have 'with' ?
Reasoning -
Your possessions have been given to him.
possessions have been 'given' to someone else.
Now, if I say "I have been given", wouldn't it mean 'It's me who is being given away'; and to mean that I've been provided with a number, I should say "I've given with your number"
I request experts to validate my understanding.

These are correctly composed: I've been given your number. ( = someone gave me your number) I've been presented with a degree. - - Some of your sentences work and some do not.
