Solved: Phone Number is already in use - Page 18

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?

Hi,

I am also having the same problem with phone number verification. It is my first time creating an account, and it also says that my phone number is being used by another account. However, I do not recall creating an account previously. I would appreciate your help with this issue.

Why doesn't upwork just remove this block? If the person can include their verification code then the phone and number is theirs. It makes no sense to spend so much wasted time on tickets

812dd08c · ‎02-09-2023

Hi Elle,

I've checked your account and I can see that you're experiencing the same error upon creating an account. Please be reminded that users are only allowed to have one account and having multiple accounts is a serious violation of Upwork's TOS. This is why phone number verification is one important part of our privacy and security process.

I can also see that you've already raised a support ticket regarding your concern. You can access your support tickets here. Note that support requests are responded to in the order they are received. Kindly allow 24-48 hours for the team to follow up with you and assist you further.

Same here, I'm trying to create an account and I can't verify my phone number because "This number is being used by another account". I also can't upload a profile picture and receive the following message "Sorry, something went wrong. We were unable to upload your image."

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It keeps telling me that the number is in use but this is my only profile. My other profile that i found has been closed. this is my only phone number, please help

sofia2008 · ‎04-20-2023

You are not allowed to create a new account if you already had one. A closed account counts as one account and now you have 2. You need to contact support to have your original account reopen and to close this one. Do not use this second account as all your activities will be deleted.

812dd08c · ‎04-20-2023

Hi Tatyana,

Sophie's correct! Users are only allowed to have one account and having multiple ones is a serious violation of Upwork's TOS. I took the liberty of escalating your concern directly to our Support Team for further review. We suggest you coordinate with the team through this support ticket and they will surely assist you accordingly on how to proceed with your account.

Hello - I am also experiencing an issue like this. It states my phone number is already in use and I cannot complete my profile. I suspect an account I created while at a company might have caused this, but I no longer have access to that account to remove it in use.
