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 recently made an account, and there are errors when it asked for the verificaiton code that is supposed to go to my phone number. However, I never get any of the texts and I can't verify my phone number to apply for jobs.

Thanks!

im trying to login from the upwork app, im trying to change my address details in the upwork website aswell,

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 had received my 1st   verification code from up-work as soon as i registered my phone number to receive verification code, last on the 17th of february. however, now i am not receiving any verification code. i have been trying for 2 days to update a payment method although i have no projects done as of yet. but i'm unable to do it as i'm not receiving the verification code to my phone number.

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!

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!

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.
