"This number is being used by another account"

I'm trying to complete my profile but am met with a message that says "This number is being used by another account" when I attempt to enter my phone number. I don't recall making any previous accounts with Upwork using that phone number, and if I did my apologies for the hassle, but I could use a hand getting this to accept my phone number.

My account is doing the same thing. Does anyone have a fix for it or does a support ticket have to be opened?

I'm getting this same issue as well. Thought I might have tried signing up with a different email before, but any of those possible emails are not tied to an account when I try to log in with them, so I'm not sure why my phone number would be tied to another account at this point.

I'm having this same problem. When setting up my profile it keeps saying that my phone number is associated with another account. I don't recall having another account and if I did at one point then it was a mistake. I just want to finish setting up my account already, please fix this problem!
