Hi, 

When I am entering my phone number "for verification purposes" it says that this number is being used by another account. This is the only number that I have and I would like some help, please. 

Much appreciated!

The inputed phone number on my upwork is not working anymore and I plan on changing my current number on upwork but I can't verify my account when getting on the verify page as it sends a code on the number that's not working anymore. Is there any other way to verify my account? E-mail address perhaps?

Hi friends! 

 

I'd appreciate your advice assistance. I tried to withdraw my available funds just today and I am asked for a code from my old mobile phone (which I lost). I tried updating my settings but the moment I clicked on settings, I am still asked for a code sent to the same old number. 

 

Thank you.

 

Sincerely,

Kristine

I have never used this before. This is my first time. I went to type in my phone number and it said that someone is already using my number for an account

Good Day Upwork Team,

I would like to ask for your assistance in helping me change my contact details. I've tried changing it several times but I am still not receiving any code/s on my new phone number. I already edited everything and it is still the same.

Thank you
