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?

When I try to apply for a job it asks for my phone number, when I click "send code" I receive an error code that says I used the PIN too many times.
I have never changed or set a PIN for my phone number? Help, please.

Hi everyone,
I'm Lesley and I'm new to Upwork. I created a client account two days ago, but I'm stuck with the verification of my phone number. I tried using the Upwork chat support, but I made no progress. Whenever I try to enter a new number, it displays a message saying "number exceeded for the day." I don't understand what's going on. The previous number I used, I waited for hours and hours, but still, I received no codes to verify my contact. So, I can't post the job I want to post, and it's frustrating. Today, I tried Upwork support, but it's not even loading. How can I resolve this issue, please? I'm already tired of dealing with it.

Double-check Contact Information: Ensure that the phone number and email address linked to your Upwork account are correct. Any discrepancies may prevent you from receiving the verification code.
Check Spam Folder: While you mentioned already checking your email's spam folder, it's worth double-checking to ensure that the verification email wasn't accidentally filtered out.
Resend Verification Code: On the verification screen, look for an option to resend the verification code. Clicking this option will prompt Upwork to resend the code to your registered email or phone number.
Contact Upwork Support: If you've tried the above steps and still haven't received the verification code, reach out to Upwork support for assistance. You can submit a ticket through the Upwork Help Center or contact them via live chat for immediate assistance.
Consider Alternative Contact Methods: If you're having trouble receiving the verification code via email or phone, consider using alternative contact methods provided by Upwork, such as receiving the code via voice call or using a different email address.
By following these steps and reaching out to Upwork support if necessary, you should be able to resolve the issue and complete your profile setup successfully.

Can you please help me too? The support section just takes me to a chat bot and doesn't let me create a support ticket.

I open a client account to post a job out of my expertise but i could not post a job untill my phone number is verified but unfortunately upwork did not send the verifacion code even after clicking many resend code and restarting my device.please reach out and tell me why is the code not sent as soon as possible thank you.
Feb 26, 2024 04:38:03 AM by Luiggi R
Hi Muhammad,
Did you open a separate Client account from your Freelancer one? If so, you won't be able to use the same phone number you already have on this account on a different one. You could have the freelancer and the client profile under the same account if you want. If you go to Settings > Contact Info, you should see the option to create a Client account. See this article for more information.

Hello, my name is Bandar. I have an account on the website, but when I try to hire a freelancer, a window appears to verify the mobile number by sending a verification code to my mobile phone. However, the problem is that the message does not reach my phone, despite the fact that my country is Saudi Arabia, and the country code is 00966.

I created client account a few days ago, but I can not verifiy phone number.
Because I could not get sms code on my end, I changed different phone number several times.
Finally, it says "Phone number changes limit was exceeded" and I tried to verify phone number after one day, but it is still same
How can I verify phone number on my end?

Hello Upwork Community,
I hope this post finds you all well. I've recently created a client account on Upwork and have successfully verified it with my credit card. However, I've hit a roadblock when trying to post a job on the platform. Upwork is asking me to verify my phone number, which seems like a straightforward step. But the problem is that, after entering my phone number, it prompts me to enter an OTP code that should have been sent to my phone via SMS. The issue is, I haven't received the SMS with the code, and therefore, I'm stuck.
I've tried this process multiple times, waiting for the SMS to arrive, but it hasn't shown up in my inbox. I'm eager to get my job posted and start collaborating with talented freelancers, but this hiccup has become a real obstacle.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue? How did you resolve it? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. I've also tried contacting Upwork support, but responses have been delayed, and I'm hoping for a quicker solution.
If you have any insights, suggestions, or experiences to share, please help a fellow Upwork user out. I'm looking forward to resolving this issue so I can get back to business.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
