Hello,

I'm trying to verify my home phone (vonage VOIP phone), but it doesn't have text messaging as a feature. I'm unable to complete my profile because of this. How can I get the phone number verified in this case?

Thanks,

Jack

I'm also not receiving the SMS verification code after trying a few times. Now I can't complete my account setup. Please assist

[a005afaa]

I just created this account and got as far as teh step where you have to provide a mobile number to get a verificaton code via SMS.

I tried twice. I tried entering my number with and without a 0 after the UK country code(+44). It doesn't work. 

I also can't seem to find the place to create a support ticket. Just an automated chatbot that doesn't understand what I'm asking.

Can someone from Upwork assist please?

Hi,

I tried to solve my problem with the chatbot but it didn't solve anything, the best I had was filling a form 2 times without any answer or feedback (by the way the web form is failing to send without explanation, I used the one included in the chat). I had to create a new account (this one) to try to find something else to solve my problem. Which is: I have an account I am trying to access, I have my login and my password but it ask me with a 2FA code, I give the one I have on my Auth App but it's rejected, I don't know why so I can't login anymore. What could I do ? 

Thanks 

Alain

I have not received my verification code on my phone. I'm a new user and i should'nt have to deal with it. 

The chatbot was extremely unhelpful. Even the other posts about this are filled with unhelpful suggestions. 

There is no solution to this as far as i see. 

Very bad service on Upworks part.

Hi,

Sorry about your experience.  I can relate. I had to chose the button that say something like "use a different method ". This will send the code to your registered email.  You can try that.

I am also not able to verify my phone number but  my id is verified

Hi Kushal,

I don't see that you have a pending phone number verification. Could you please share more information about the issue you're experiencing?

[d27e6aa6]

I don't receive any verification code on my phone after several attempts. The other method with questions are nearly impossible to answer since it's been 8 years since my last transaction.  Please help.

when I log in to a new device or try to get paid from other devices it was asking a verification that was sent to my mobile number but it is not working. So instead I am using my email but my mobile number was varified.

The "Accepted Solution" doesn't work. I was blocked out of my account because I was in a different country, and I couldn't use my phone number to get the verification code. The solution for me was renting a UK phone number from an online SMS verification website and using it for the 2FA on Upwork. I used AnonymSMS for this because they guarantee that their phone numbers work with Upwork. This worked in the end, and I got my account back.

Hi Jony, 

I checked and it looks like you are still in the process of profile creation. Could you please clarify if you have another account?

hi 

am trying to post a job as a client but I have to verify my phone number first, when I try to verify it I don't receive the SMS code.

I tried more than one phone number and tried to contact the Upwork chat bot but it didn't help. please any support team member contact me to fix the problem so I can start using the platform.

I see this is an ongoing problem for UpWork.  I am not receiving verification codes for my phone number.  I've verified with my service that there is not a problem with my phone.  I can't use my freelancer profile until the number is verified.
