Hey, I have the same problem. I can't do anything on the site at all currently until I verify my phone number when creating my profile, and nothing happens when I click "verify phone number" in the pop up box and I've tried different numbers and browsers. Help.

Mine is not working either. I can not do anything on the site because ti will not send me a verification code no matter how many times I re-send the request.

Hello Isabell,

 

I have escalated your concern. One of our representatives will get in touch with you shortly. Thank you.

Hello 

I am new to upWork and just above the page, a message shows that I need to update my double verification, which I tried and update using a phone option.  However, I tried entering my phone number and I don't receive a text message with the verification number after waiting for minutes? Click resend thrice and nothing happens, which triggered a red flag that I've been clicking many times.  I am using UAE number thou. Does the double-verification works here in UAE? 

 

Thank you!

Hi,

I'm currently stuck on the "Set a security phone number" window. It won't text me a verification or let me get past that point.

Will someone from the admin team please contact me?

 

Cheers,

Nicole

Hello,

I am not able to verify number as it says you failed to verify number.

I am not able to do anything with my account and not able to close it as there is no account closing link.

There is no customer care as well.

Please close my account ASAP.

Thanks
