I am having difficulty verifying my phone number. I had a duplicate account and I think my phone number may still be connected to that account which is now closed.

Hi, I am trying to create an account and after I fill our the profile and hit next it asks for a phone number so it can send me a verification code. It doesn't allow me to submit abumber and I never get a code. I've tried different browsers and even the iOS app. It does not have an option to proceed with the account unless I verify through text, but nothing works. I've tried many times over the last few months. What can I do? Thank you.

I am creating my profile. It asks me to enter my phone number to verify it before I can update my profile. It will not accept my phone number. I have tried on two laptops and my phone, all three will not allow me to click the highlighted "Verify Phone Number" button. I am unable to do anything.

Hi ~ I'm trying to complete freelance account set up and need to do phone verification. The problem is, I am not receiving the text of the code I need to enter to verify. My phone # is entered correctly, but without code to enter I can't verify my account to get started.

I can't find anywhere else to address this issue except here, but it seems like a tech issue Upworks end. Thanks.

Hello! 🙂
My issue right now is I can't submit a proposal to any projects because I have to verify my phone number but the phone number shown is my previous phone number. When I try to replace it with my current number, it says I attempted to change my phone number too many times and that I should contact support. I tried replacing my phone number in my contact info page but that did not resolve the issue. 😞 Thank you for taking the time to read and I hope you can help me. Have a good day! 🙂

P.S.
I registered to ODesk (during my registration) last 2013 (I think). I did one job for a client and that client did not reply to any of my messages after I sent him the finished material and of course I didn't get paid. I was so disappointed that I stopped using Odesk and looked for another job at another website. I decided to try Odesk/Upwork again but then there is this issue.

Hi Leslie Anne,

Please try updating your phone number again and let me know if you were successful.

[la_jacob87]

Thank you for your reply! I forgot to mention that I was successful in updating my phone number in my contact info page. It just seems like the system wouldn't use my new phone number when asking for verification. I tried submitting a proposal after you replied but I found out I'm already out of connects. I will try again come September. Thank you again! 😊😊😊

[andreagarces0809]

HI, I have the same issue I can't submit proposal because until now my Phone number is still not verified. when I'm trying to change it. It says please contact support.

Hi Andy,

I just sent you a private message with more information. It should show in the upper left corner.

Thanks.

[josevillaman]

I'm having same issues while trying to finish my profile. I put in my number and never got code, now when i try it says I've failed so I have to use a different number, when I put in a different number it changes back to mine and gives me same message. I'd like to just verify with my own number and get this thing going. 

Thanks in advance.

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. 

[tinker_bell3]

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!

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.
