Hello, I am in the process of creating an account but when I reach the last window to enter in phone information, I get a message that says a phone number already exists. I don't know how that can be considering I never created an account before. Can anyone please assist me in resolving this matter? Thank you very much. - Jason

I'm having the same issue. It's saying I can't use my phone number as it is already associated with another account. But I have not created another account.

I am trying to sign up for Upwork, but it says my phone number is already in use. Could you delete the existing one?

This is my first time signing up for Upwork (and using my information). My phone number is relatively new as well.

 

I was going through the sign up process and it notified me that my phone number is being used by another account (again this is my first time ever using Upwork).

 

How do I correct this issue and remove my phone number from the account that I've never known about?

 

Thanks in advance for all of your help

"You failed to verify this phone number. Please provide a different number."

Hello,

 

I am trying to activate my account and after I provide my mobile number (with country code), clicking "Verify Phone Number" does not do anything. The window does not close and I have not received a text message. Is there any way to get this to send?

 

Thanks!
