Can't change country

I signed up for Upwork while I was travelling but didn't finish my profile. My country is set to Serbia but I now live in the US. Every time I try to access the account settings page to edit location it just redirects me to the "create profile" page. How am I meant to change my country before submitting my profile for review?

Hello, I'm trying to sign-up and verify my phone number. However I am unable to change the country code of my phone number. The only number I have access to at the moment is an Israeli number. Please advise how to proceed.

Hi,

 

Everytime I log in, I need to verify my account. I am stuck on setting up my profile page. But the country information is wrong and I can't change it. I also can't enter a phone number of a country where I don't have a phone number from.

 

How can I change my country to Germany?

Hi Victoria,

 

Your country is now updated, feel free to update the rest of your address and complete your profile. Thank you.

Hello,

 

I need to change the location associated with my account. It's currently set to United Kingdom but it should be Spain. However, each time I try to edit my account it redirects me to the "Your Profile" form. I can't progress past this because I need to verify my telephone number, which is a Spanish number and should be prefixed with +34, but the input box has a +44 prefix locked in.

 

Please help.

 

Kind regards

 

Phil

 I clicked United States when signing up because I wanted most of my work to come from there but I'm based in Canada. I didn't know that it would lock me in if it was the wrong choice.

 

Please help me set it to the correct location.

 

Thanks

We can't share specifics but rest assured we do check accounts before location information is updated and take action if there are any inconsistencies. Additionally, profiles are checked when they are completed and submitted for review.
