The client can meet with you using WhatsApp after you have been officially hired.

Until then, you may use the Upwork Messages tool, which includes chat, voice, video and Zoom capabilities.

Umair,

Send the prospective client something like this:

"During our pre-contract communication Upwork requires that we only use either Upwork’s VOIP service or Upwork’s Zoom-compatible app to talk through the specifics of what you need and to discuss any questions you and I have for one another:

https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/217698348-Video-and-Voice-Calls

After that call, I can start work on this as soon as you wish."
