When I click contine it shows a pop up where I input my number. But when I press verify nothing happens. It doesn't change the page at all or have any indication I clicked verify even though I do. Can someone help me?

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

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

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!
