I am having a similar issue. I am setting up a personal freelancer account and I need a phone number to proceed with the final step but my phone number is also being used for a client account which I need. Could someone advise please.

I'm unable to remove a phone number from an account I no longer have access to.
In trying to contact support about this, I've been unable to do so. The chatbot keeps sending me in a loop to visit the Academy or this Community page, so I can't contact support in order to verify my account even though it's what I need to do.
All I want to do is get my account verified and have the phone number removed from the old account, and right now it's impossible to do so.

Good luck with that. I have flagged a message for Upwork review, created a support ticket, reached out on social media accounts, posted a message on this forum and still no response from Upwork support accross the board.

Hi!
I'm trying to create an account and when I need to verify my phone number, I receive the following message: This number is being used by another account
I may have had an account awhile back but not able to recall it.
Can someone from Upwork please assist? I don't know where or how to create a support ticket either.
Thanks

Yes please, I've been struggling to open a support ticket to create one would you mind providing the place to do so. The chatbot has had me going round in circles

Hi,
I am having multiple errors. I can no longer log in because my account is closed. I have another community post that talks about an error I received with my phone number. I cannot use Upwork at all! My phone number was verified through 2-factor so why am I having this issue over and over again? Now, my account is closed. I've talked to the chat bot and it won't redirect me to a support ticket. Please help!

At this point im sick of this service.
Ive used upwork for a long time and started to freelance and now it says when i apply for a listing i need to verify my phone. But i put my phone in and then it tells me its already connected to another account. When its connected to my account??? I dont understand its only on 1 account and wont send me an email. Well i tried to fix it and now it says i tried to change my pin to many times.
I looked for almost 30 mins trying to find a support ticket but of course everything goes through a stupid ai chatbot so i get no help and no support ticket so i have no clue how to get help which is why im posting this.
Can i get any support??? Thanks in adance for any solution or help.

I also am having issues using my phone number, says it's already in use. The chatbot was extremely unhelpful.

Hello, I recently set up an account, without realizing I had previously made an account years ago. Due to this, I am not able to add my phone number and complete my new account to begin working. Is there a way to fix this? I don't need that account that the number is currently attached to, as I have gone through a name change and made a new email since creating that account.
(I've already tried using the chatbot, it doesn't understand what I need)
Thank you!
