Phone Number is already in use

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? 

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Hi Leonardo,

 

If you need help verifying your phone number, 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. Select Get Support at the bottom of the Help Center page
  2. Type a question or topic and select "Send." The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
  3. If we don't find the information you need after a few tries, you’ll see an option under the article selections to "Contact Support"
  4. Select "Contact Support" and follow the options provided

Hey Arjay, I've delete my account and opened a new one but now it says the number is being used. May I request for some help?

Hi Mino,

 

Please be reminded that users are only allowed to have one account and having multiple accounts is a violation of Upwork's TOS. However, I can see that you've raised a ticket about your concern. Please allow our team time to review your case within 24-48 hours and you should be getting an update here once done.

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??

Hello

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?
