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?

 

  1. Please visit Contact Support and click the ‘Chat with Upwork' button.
  2. Type a question or topic and select ‘Send’. The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
  3. The chatbot will ask you to confirm if you need additional help. If you confirm that you need additional help, you will be asked to confirm the account type you need help with.
  4. From there, the support options available to you will be listed. Select either of the options to be able to contact the Upwork Support Team.

Hello, 

I have been trying to verify my mobile phone since this morning, but I am not receiving any code whatsoever! I have even tried two different phone numbers and still got nothing. Can I verify my phone via an automated call instead of an SMS message.?

Please help!

Hi, I am trying to access the settings page from the browser and system on which I have been using Upwork for last 6 months, but it prompts me with "Verify a code via SMS text to continue" (Attaching screenshot to illustrate more)

 

It never sends an SMS to phone number and when i click resend sms after some time, it says "This method is no longer available"

 

Can you please help me as I am unable to receive SMS? 

 

I also tried to login in another system but was prompted to verify code via SMS, and faced the same problem

I have a problem with the two-factor authentication process. I am not getting the SMS on my phone. My Authenticator app was also deleted from my phone. So, I am unable to use my Google Authenticator option. I could not set up a new authenticator because I could not enter the "Setting" due to the verification code. 
How can I solve this matter?

Hi, I just registered here. I verified my email (it's the correct one).

I created a job post and wanted to post it, but I am unable to do so before I verify my phone number. For some reason, I did not receive the SMS verification code even though I requested it 10 times...

I tried changing the phone number to one of my colleagues', and he received the verification code via SMS, but I am unable to do so. For transparency, we come from different countries, hence have different country codes, if that has anything to do wwith receiving the verification code or not.

I need to speak to a human being and the suggested "Solutions" here and in other threads don't work. I'd appreciate quick help with this as I really need freelancers to help us with a few projects.
