Hi Daniel,
If you need help with your phone number because you're not receiving the code or don't have access to it anymore, we’ll need to ask you to confirm some private account details in order to help you. At Upwork, protecting your privacy is our priority. With this in mind, it would be best if you reach out directly to our support team so they can assist you within a private and secure channel of communication.
How do I reach a human in customer support?

I have been trying to apply for jobs and this website wil not allow me to do so. I get that I am supposed to verify it is me, but initially, the verification number does not even get sent to my phone. Then, if I requested it to be sent to my phone, it would, whether it was by phone call or text, but then THAT verification number would not be accepted as correct on Upwork. Now it is saying that I entered the incorrect pin too many times.

I am trying to post a job, but when it comes to the verification process, I am not receiving anything on my phone. What should I do, it is very urgent.

Hi,
I'm not able to use my account as the number for the verfication code is being sent in the wrong US format (xxx) xxx-xxxx and won't send it correctly to my +44 UK number, despite it being set up correctly to be a UK number. Is there any help I could get with sending a verfication code to the correct number?
Thanks

I have been trying to contact support for the last hour using the chatbot, ready to scream. The phone was very low on memory and I had to delete all apps, including verificator. Did not realize it would completely delete all account history. Now, I can't login to my account ( this is a new account ) I got to the form to reset it, however after filling it all out, when I press send it doesn't actually send! So it just stays stuck there. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to talk to a person. How do I get back into my old account? I don't have a trusted device with me. If only, I could send the information of the form to an e-mail address. Does anyone have an e mail address, or know if there is a certain webbrowser that works with the form, maybe?

I'm currently experiencing difficulty receiving the confirmation code on my mobile device, which is preventing me from completing my job post. Additionally, I've noticed on your community page that this seems to be a common issue, yet there are no suggested solutions available. It's frustrating that the support options are not readily accessible on your page, and redirecting users to support only adds to the challenge. I kindly ask for your assistance in resolving this matter. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I recently joined and verified my email and added my payment method. However I couldnt proceed verifying my phone as I am not able to receive any sms codes. My phone is working well and there is no issue with the phone and network.
How can I raise the issue to support center. I tried using the chat but it was not helpful at all.
I appreciate your support

im trying to do**Edited for Community Guidelines** other things
but since i need to get paid, suddenly, i cant get any text message from upwork anymore. the last time i got an message from upwork was when i bought upwork plus, its very wierd that when i need to pay, everything is working very good, but when i need to get paid, nothing works, after lots of messages to the bot, i couldnt even get to a real human that will answer me and help me solve the issue, WHY i dont get an sms to verify? why when i look at my deatils i see suddenly other phone number, but when i change it again and press save, im getting a prompt that saying that sms will be sent to *{my real number}... and nothing is happening and i dont get any code!

I am also not receiving a verification code on my phone needed to set up my profile. I have tried on Chrome and Safari, and with two different phone numbers. I tried contacting the chat bot but did not get any help. Would love to get started with my project, so would be very grateful with support on this!

Hi Sigrun,
I looked closely at your account and confirmed that you've successfully provided the verification code. You were also able to log in to your account. Looks like you're all set. Let us know if you need further assistance.
Best of luck!
