Hi,

I'm trying to set up an account, but when I click the verify phone number button, nothing happens--no text, no indication that it worked, nothing. I've tried a number of different browsers too, and that doesn't help. Thanks for your help,

Stew

On your application process, it requires a cell phone for a confirmation code but I only have a landline. How can we overcome this obstacle? is there a number so that I may call you or give you my landline number for you to call me?

Hi Anthony,

Not off to a great start here. Didn't even get through profile submission before the buggy system refused to cooperate.

 

I got an error message when I submitted the code to verify my phone number, and now when I log in it gets stuck at the page https://www.upwork.com/ab/create-profile/v1/submit with no content.

 

Hi James,

 

I checked this for you and was not able to replicate the issue you're describing. Could you please clear your cache and cookies or log in with another browser to check if you`re still experiencing the same issue?

 

Let us know if the issue persists.

 

Thank you.

Hi guys, I'm not receiving a verification SMS either. Could you maybe check on your side?

 

Attached are API request responses (maybe it could help you to check).

 

Thanks, Ron

I am being told by the system that my phone number is in use by another account. I don’t know which account but if it’s an old one of mine, I would like it closed and my current account to have the correct number assigned to it.

Hi,

 

Please help!

 

I just set up a new account. I reached the last step: to enter my phone number and receive a code so I can verify my new account.

 

I am receiving an error message saying that my number is being used by another account. How can I fix this situation?

 

I tried setting up a Google Voice account so I could enter a different phone number, but I am not receiving the verification code at the Google Voice number I set up.

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

When setting up my profile information, it told me my phone number was in use by another account and will not let me proceed.
I had previously set up an account here as recommended by my instructors at Independence University in Utah. I don't think I had my profile finished before I lost power. I don't know if that would have anything to do with this or not but I am very confused and frustrated.
