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?

Hello,
I am unable to find a way to submit or open a support ticket to update the phone number. The only way I was able to get in was to reset my password and have the 6 digit verification sent to my email. But the prompt on my pc and mobile for verification often asks for my old number. Also, it would be difficult to for clients to contact when I submit proposals if my phone number is outdated. Please help me to submit a support ticket to update the contact information.
Kind regards,
Isaaiel Fox

Hi,
I changed my phone number a long time ago and I can see it on the setting page,
However, when I am trying to use another navigator or when I am in the IOS app, it asks for confirmation and sends the verification code to my old number that I don't use anymore.
What can I do so that Upwork will use my actual phone number(which is already on my contact info) for verification code?
Thanks

Hello, I had to make this account just to contact support. I can't log into my account because Upwork is requiring me to verify by text message. I have a new phone number and I cannot do this. How can I access my account? I need access ASAP

When making my upwork account it says my phone number is already in use by another account, however I only had one other account and I've already closed that one and I don't think it had this number anyway as I recently bought a new phone. So I don't know who could be using my phone number but I could easily verify that it's my number if they just gave me that option. What should I do?

Hi Austin,

Thank you.

Dear Administrator
I'm Muhammad and I'm new to upwork. It's been 2 days that I've been trying to sign into upwork but it won't verify my phone number, it always says "Something went wrong. Please try again later". I don't really know what to do right now. I would be glad if you could help me with this.

Hello! I am trying to finish my upwork account, however everytime I try to enter my phone number and send the code, it gives me an error message of, "Something went wrong. Please try again later."
I have tried using a desk top, a laptop, and my phone, but they are all giving me the same message. I have also tried with wifi and without wifi in case it was a connection thing. I have also tried on chrome as well as safari. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I am currently travelling and no longer have access to my verified number, as my phone contract has come to an end. I simply use wifi on my phone at the moment and can't receive any texts as my number is no longer active.
When I return to the UK in a year I will get a new number but have no need for a phone until then as can get by just fine with whatsapp etc.
Please advise how I can continue without access to my old number / verification code?
