I have an active phone, but it has no texting capabilities. How can I get the verification code to finish setting up my profile?

While creating this new account, it says my phone number is already taken. That's not possible. I just tried logging in with all of my google accounts, all of my emails, and my Apple account and all of them take me to create a new account or say that I don't have an account. I need my phone number removed from your system and I'd like to know the account it's associated with

I accidentally created two upwork accounts. I deactivated the second one after I realized this, but I can't change the contact information on my active account now. It says the email address is already in use. I couldn't add my phone number to the second account because it was already attached to the first one, which is how I realized I had already created an account.
So now I can't add my email address to the first account, and I can't add my phone number to the second account.
The only support option I have been able to access is the chat bot, which has been unhelpful. It appears there is no way to get support from a human. How do I fix the contact information on my account?

I am trying to submit a job request, but the system says my phone number is already in use. Can anyone help me resolve this issue? Thank you!

Hello. I know this topic has been posted time and time again, but everything I have read for a solution was direct communication with the support team.
I cannot finish my profile setup because apparently an old email may have my phone number attached to it. Whatever account I have, I would like deleted so I can start fresh. I do not remember ever using upwork in a freelance capacity before. I do remember using upwork to find someone for a project in the past, but was unsuccessful.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hello Support. I have a client account which I opened some years ago. I no longer use the former phone number. I opened a freelance account, and could not have my new phone number verified. It says number already in use. Could you help?
Thanks.
