Don't have access to Verified Phone Number / Not receiving security code on my phone

[dannyrro]

I don't have access to my old verified phone number and need to update it with a new one.

I have an account in upwork but when I try to log in, it asks me for a verification code that is never sent neither by text message nor email. I already checked the spam folder. I had to create this new account only to be able to write here for support.

Hi Vicente,

Could you please click on my name above this post and send me a private message with more info about the account you need help with?

I am trying to verify my phone number and it will not go past the code. Now it won't even resend the code at all. 

What do I do?

Kirstie,

Most computer systems are programmed for 3 tries within 24 hours. Try again tomorrow and this time type the code and don't copy / paste because extra invisible characters can be picked up. Have an awesome day!

Greetings all,

I am not receiving the text verification code that is needed to create a new account. Have others encountered this issue? Unfotunately, this means I can't complete my profile.

I am having the same issue, and it's actually VERY aggravating! I just want to use your site, and this CONSTANT txt verification with NO other options to verify is a complete UI hindrance. Please have some discussions with your security team as a lease needs to be put on them to discover what's keeping people safe and what is just a stupid and plain to see obstacle that by the comments here,....A LOT of your users are having issues with.

Hello,

I am attempting to complete the last step in setting up my account, but I am not receiving a verification code via text. I have attempted multiple times and it is still not coming through. It seems like many others have had the same problem, where can I get support with this issue?

Thanks

Go to your Settings and double check you have the right phone number listed versus a typo. Have a great day!

Im not receiving any SMS to verify my phone. how do i resolve this?

[f2f6e690]

Hello Suhrab K,

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble receiving SMS verification messages from Upwork. In this case, there are a few things you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Check your phone number: Make sure that the phone number you've entered in your Upwork profile is correct and up to date. If it's incorrect, update your phone number and try again.
2. Check your phone's settings: Make sure that your phone is set up to receive SMS messages, and that there are no blocking settings that may be preventing the messages from coming through.
3. Contact Upwork support: If you're still having trouble after checking your phone number and settings, you can reach out to Upwork support for further assistance. They can help you troubleshoot the issue and provide additional guidance on how to proceed.

It's important to note that phone verification is a requirement for using Upwork, and failure to complete the verification process may result in limitations on your account. Therefore, it's important to ensure that you're able to successfully complete the verification process.

I hope this helps, and please let me know if you have any further questions.

Best regards,

Usama I.

Perhaps the Support is all on lunch today... who knows.  But I've received several emails to 'verify' my new Upwork account, and the phone number verif doesn't work. I've had other profile on Upwork before, so I know what I'm doing.  Please shed some light on this?

Hello, writing to let you know that I'm having some trouble completing the signup process because I haven't received the SMS verification code required for registration. I've double-checked my phone number and it's correct, and I'm able to receive SMS messages from other people without any issues. But for some reason, I'm not receiving any verification code from your service despite several attempts. Would you be able to help me out with this? Thanks in advance for your help.
