Same phone number for 2 different accounts

[#1]

Hi.  I have a personal account for upwork, but recently my currently employer created me one.  When i tried to create the employer profile that my employee created for me, it says the current phone number has already been used on a different account.  How do I fix this?

Hi Andrea, I had the same issue. I have a closed account and same phone number for the new account. It won't let me verify the new account. How to deal with this? 
Thank you!

You aren't allowed to start a new account; you could be permanently banned. You'll need to contact customer service and ask them to restore your old account.

I am having the same issue.  I have an upwork account I would like to keep. I created a separate upwork for a completely different skill that I am marketing to a completely different set of potential clients.  I removed my phone number from my original upwork account.  Upwork still isn't letting me verify my phone number on the new account.  What do I do?  I can't get ahold of anyone on the chat and when I try to create a ticket, it just says "link has been moved"
