Muhammad,
Unfortunately, you won't be able to request phone verification yourself.

Hi Muhammad,
Phone verification isn't an option available for all users on Upwork. Sometimes it's required and the team notifies the user about it. However, no badge will show on freelancer profile when it's done. It doesn't look like you were requested to complete phone verification at this time.

Thanks for the reply Valeria K. Yes you are right I was not requested to complete my phone verification but I just wanted to know that when and how phone verification is needed and completed. What if I want to verify my phone number without any request?

Clarify 1 last thing. Phone number is only verified when a clients asks to do so. Am I right?
Thanks alot in advance. 🙂

Muhammad,
No, that's not correct. Upwork team may ask a user to do some additional verifications including phone verification. It is not requested by clients and it will not be displayed on profile.

I'm unable to verify my phone number. I enter my number and it never proceeds onward from that screen or sends me a text message. I am in the USA and have tried putting a "1" in front of mobile number. Also tried doing this from a laptop and smartphone. Please assist.

Hi Jason,
I checked your account and can see that you already have a mobile number on your account. Were you updating your mobile number?

Hi Fahad,
The phone verification badge is something that used to be available and is still visible on profiles of freelancers who were able to receive it back then. However, it's not available anymore and can't be requested.
Thanks!

I was looking at Petra's profile a moment ago and she has that tick badge on her profile.
Nov 29, 2016 04:27:47 PM by Valeria K
Hi Yelyzaveta,
I believe Petra's phone was verified a while ago through a program that's not available anymore.

Hi Faiz,
Currently, it's not possible for freelancers to initiate phone verification and display it on their profile. If any additional verification is required for your profile, the team will notify you.
Oct 16, 2017 09:12:19 PM by Aljy C
Hi Valeria, why isn't your team didn't notify me regarding phone number verification? I've been using this phone number since the start of my Upwork Career but yet didn't receive any notifications.
Looking forward hearing from you.

Phone verification is optional at the request of a freelancer's client, Arjy. If you would like to have your profile phone verified, you can request your client to do this by contacting to the support team to begin the process. Please note that the phone Verification program is entirely optional, so you can continue to work on Upwork regardless if verified or not.

Similar question here:
I am keeping being asked to verify my cell phone # (when it is optional) in my
"Create your Profile for Consideration" screen
...
Next, you'll be asked to verify your phone number for added security.

Verify your phone number
If I click on X it goes back to creating profile.

Hi Georgi,
Phone verification for U.S users has been changed from being optional which is why you are unable to proceed with your profile. We ask U.S users to verify their phone number as another step to help ensure our marketplace is safe. At times, we unfortunately find that people want to join Upwork for reasons other than for the uses permitted on the platform. By asking new users in the U.S. to verify their phone number we hope to reduce the number of people who try to mislead us about their intentions or identity. Thank you for understanding.

I started to see many freelancers has a badge of phone number verified.
I'd like to know what is the advantage in being phone verified and how cloud I verify my phone number to get that badge?
Jul 17, 2018 11:12:24 PM by Avery O
Hi Moustafa,
As NIna has shared above, phone verification helps us ensure that the marketplace is safe. It gives another layer of confidence for clients that the freelancer they are dealing with is not misleading us with their identity.
The Customer Support Team has setup your phone verification for you, and you should be able to do this by trying to submit a proposal for any job post. You will then be prompted to verify your phone number. Once verified, the badge will show up on your profile.
