Solved: Phone Number is already in use - Page 15

thanh_tung · ‎01-24-2022

Hello, Upwork

I too am having trouble verifying my number. When I get my money to my local bank, I can not get code verifying to my phone or my E-mail, I tried it in 2 days and it is the same problem. Would you be able to have a team member reach out to me as well?

I am also unable to verify my phone number because it says it's already in use.

I don't remember making a full account to this point with another email address, cant find anything in my email accounts, and when I sign in with my google account to see if that is linked to my phone number, it just goes to my new account I'm trying to use where I can't verify the phone number again.

Please help! Thanks.

I need help!! I can't verify my number because it's saying my number is already in use. I maybe thought I signed up a bit ago with another email but that's not the case. Why is my number being used for an account I'm unaware of?!?! That's concerning... I also want to be able to start my account. What's going on??

I created an account, entered my resume, education, etc and when I got to the end Upwork says my phone number is already in use. I don't recall ever having an Upwork account previously. Can someone help me, please?

I've search for all other emails I believe I could've used to create an account, but can't seem to find one to login into. Is there any way I can try to delete whatever old account I have and use my number so I can get started?

Interesting thing: I can't use Upwork until I verify my phone number. But when I try to do it I don't get the verification code. How should I confirm the phone number if I don't get the code? Nonsense!

I have tried to set up my Upwork account as a freelancer but got to the final stage and it is says my phone number is already in use. I have not created an account before, this is my first time on Upwork, but cannot move past the profile creation stage until this is resolved.

How do I create a service ticket?

I created an account on UpWork several years ago with an email account I have apparently since forgotten. I just created a new account but I can't complete my profile because my phone number is in use by the other account.

Thank you for any advice.
