I want to get my application verified so I can work on upwork but I do not accept text messages to my cell due to the fact that I have been spammed multiple times. Can you please let me know how I can get account verified? Thank you.

So to make a long story short i tried to verify my phone number in japan a few months ago and now that i am back in the USA I am finally able to set up my account. HOWEVER now it is saying my number cant be verified. I was never able to get it verified in Japan because my accounts registered in the us. Now that i am back i was hoping to register.

Hi, I also cannot register my phone number. Instead, I get the message "You failed to verify this phone number. Please provide a different number." Will someone please PM me or follow up by calling/texting?

 

Thank you.

Hi.

I have been trying to update my profile and on continuing it takes me to the verification code screen. My old phone number is logged. When I try to use my new number I get the error message 'you failed to verify this number, please provide a different number'. I cannot get past this screen.

I am having an issue with the phone number verification where after I fill the form and it asks me for my phone number of 6 characters, but don't you need my full number? It won't let me do anything.

Trying to complete my profile. I get to the phone number verification. I enter my number and ... “ You failed to verify this phone number. Please provide a different number.” keeps coming up. Won’t allow me to verify. It’s literally my only number.
