Hi Rabia,

 

Could you please try entering your phone number in the format shown in the error message? The country code should be wrapped in brackets but no brackets needed around the phone number itself.

Thank you so much it's working now  🙂

I am unable to add my phone number in Set up Payments: Direct to Local Bank.
It is asking for the phone number in following format:
"Enter phone number in (###) ############ format."
However my phone number has less digits including the international dialing and country code.
I even tried to match the requested format, by adding additional zeros in the beginning of the number but i was still unable to add my phone number.

Hi Saad,

 

Please add your phone number in this format:
(country code) (space) phone number, also please don't add extra zeros or plus signs before your country code. Thank you.

Hello,

I am still unable to add the phone number and get the same error message:

 Enter phone number in (###) ############ format.”

same problem here

Hi Kinny, 

 

Could you please let us know what format you're entering your phone number in? Normally, your area code would go into brackets followed with your number without any punctuation.

Zuhaib and Saad,

 

Please, make sure you're entering your phone number in the suggested format with the area code in brackets and no dashes.

Thank you!

Hello,

Same here. I followed the format ### ############ but it's not going through. I tried different ways like adding +63 or adding 00 to nothing... Please help.

Hi Elbert,

 

Please don't add any additional numbers or signs in front of your country code. Also don't forget to add your country code in brackets, leave space after the brackets and then add the rest of your phone number. Thank you.

I will try. Thank you! 🙂

I am getting "Enter phone number in (###) ############ format." Error . Country code is +91 for India.

so according to format the value i have to enter is (+91) ********** . But stills gives same error. I dont understand hoe to enter 12 digits for phone number when we have only 10 digits for phone number excluding country code.

 

Hi Pooja,

 

Could you please try adding the phone number in this format: "(country code) phone number" without the plus (+) sign for the country area? Make sure to wrap the country code in brackets and add a space between the country code and the phone number.

 

Thank you.

Hello Upwork Community,

 

I've been trying to add new payment method (Direct to Local Bank in India).  In India the mobile numbers are of 10 digits length and the country code is 91.  I tried following:

 

1. (+91)##########

2. (091)##########

3. (###)#######

4. +91##########

5. 91##########

 

None of the above formats were accepted.  Could you please help resolving this?

 

Best regards,

J SARAVANAKUMAAR

P.S. The same mobile number got accepted in my contact info page.

Thank you. It would be helpful if this information were presented with the entry field itself, as the existing hint doesn't make this clear.

Thanks for the feedback, Michael. We'll make sure to share this with the team for their consideration.
