Phone Number is already in use

[thanh_tung]

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 Cody,

Upon checking, it looks like you were able to successfully verify your phone number. Let us know if you have any other issues, thanks!

I'm having the same issue. SMS verification isn't really the best option to me anyways because I work at a place that does not have the ability to accept SMS messages (no cell signal). But I traversed out to a place where I could do the SMS authentication for my profile and the text never comes through no matter how many times I try to verify. Please advise. Thank you.

I'm also having the same issue,   I cannot verify my (US Mobile) phone number.    I've tried on 2 desktop browsers and also my iPhone.   The issue is the button doesn't not "click", I see it, but it doesn't respond.

I have tried entering this number in all sort of different formats, it just doens't work.

I need to verify my mobile number to open an account. However, my text message box is closed because I travel overseas as an International Business Consultant. Can someone help me by verifying my mobile via email? Thanks, Dr. C

Hi Carmen,

Our team will reach out to you via ticket to assist you with your phone verification. 

If you are travelling and are away from your country of residence temporarily,  you don’t need to update your location. If it does raise any flags on our end, the team will reach out to you directly.  If however, you are going to be away for an extended period, such as moving some place, then you should make updates to your account location. Also, it's recommended that you check with a legal adviser if you need a certain type of visa or a work permit to be able to work on Upwork while travelling.

[drcastro13]

Hi Avery,

Thank you, so much for your feedback and advice. I will only be doing my freelance contracts on upwork when I am not working overseas.

Best,
Dr. C

Right now, I'm using a landline because my cellphone is out for warranty service, which will take at least a few days, and they might have to replace it, which will take longer. Can someone just call me with a verification code?

[BojanS]

Thank you for reaching out to us. I've escalated your request to our support team and one of our agents will reach out to you directly to assist you with your phone verification process.

Hi Goran V,
Thanks I have received an email.

[fpetra]

Same here.

I could "hack it" going straight to the setting page, and succeeded, but every time I try to do something I get redirected to the "Create Profile" page to verify it again. 

Thanks!

I'm also not receiving my text verification code.  I've tried multiple times.  There seems to be no help to contact.  What should I do?

[lisa-busch]

I also haven't received any verification code. I tried the "resend" option but it disappeared and now I only have the option to change my phone number (which obviously I don't want to do). I live in the U.S. and have a U.S. phone number.

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Lisa,

Just to confirm that you`ve already verified your phone and your profile is accepted. If you have any additional questions let me know. Thank you.

[okazaki-ryutaro]

Hi I also haven't received the text so I cannot finish creating my profile. Emailed you but no answer. Appreciate it if I could get help?

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Ryutaro,

[kozub]

My problem was I don't do texting and there is no other option such as email. As a result of a telephone call my issue was resolved when I spoke to a real person.

I never recieved your email reply but thank you for the attempt.  MK

[okazaki-ryutaro]

Now I know posting questions here is the best way to get solution. Mine was resolved by talking to a person from a relevant department thanks to Gran's help. Thank you so much! 

[jptanaro]

Hi, I can't receive neither the verification code on my phone or my email.

I already created a support ticket yesterday but they are not answering me and I have to answer a job proposal. Please help me. This is not the account with the issue, I created another one

[jptanaro]

Hi, I'm not receiving the 6 digit code for the verification in upwork. Both email and telephone are correct but I don't receive it. This is not the account with the problem. I created a new one to create this.

I already did a support ticket but no one is answering me

I need to answer to a job proposal and I can't login. This will affect my job responsiveness score and I can't do anything about it. Can you help me?
