It's strange. I changed my number in the info portion and had a verification code sent to me. But when I wanted to look for work, it took me back to my profile and said that I have to verify my phone number. It had the old number in there. So I put in the new number that I have verified, but it says to put in another number and shows the prior old number listed.

Hi Stephanie,
Can you please clear your cache and cookies or try a different browser? If you still see the same old number and not the newly added one, please let us know so we can check further. Thank you!

Hi,
I am new to upwork, while setting up new account system is asking for a phone to receive verification code.
It is adding incorrect area code to the number even before I enter anything. Please help

I'm having an issue verifying my phone number. It seems like other people have this problem also. It says my number is verified but then it says my profile isn't complete and that my number isn't verified and that I need to verify my number. I'm stuck in an endless loop. Please help.

I am having the same problem. Can someone message me to help me delete the phone number from my old profile (which I can no longer access), so that I can enter the same phone number to go with my new profile? I am stuck in limbo and cannot submit any more proposals.

Try Google Voice, which provides a free phone number that you can use to receive and send text messages.

Better to connect with Support than use methods which have already been flagged as being a work-around for people who say they are in places where they are not.
