Hi Andrea,

I'm having the same issue when attempting to create my profile. Could I have a ticket for this?

Hi Andrea, 

I am having the same issue as listed above, I'm attempting to apply to a job posting and it's asking me to verify my phone number. When I type my number in, it gives me an error (I have a screenshot but it has my phone number listed on it, so please let me know privately if you'd like to see the error message). I have a client profile from a while ago that I removed my phone number from in favor of my freelancer profile, however, it's still giving me the same error regardless of having removed the number from my other profile. I've attempted to get in contact with support but the chatbot keeps me in a loop and won't allow me to connect with a real person or submit a ticket.

Greatly appreciate any help you may be able to provide! Thanks!

Following up here, thanks!

Hi,

same issue: cannot apply to a job: says that the phone number is already being used (I can't apply to any job openings).
Also this is my way of creating a help ticket, as i dont know how to do that either, thanks!

I have the same problem--my phone number was used with an account created a while ago that I no longer have access to, and I am trying to set up a new account but can't do that because my phone number is still attached to the old account. I tried to find some way to get help via chat, but couldn't find a path that helped.  How can I open a support ticket to resolve?  Thanks.

I am having the same issue. I cannot verify my phone number and I have chatted with the support bot. The bot tells me to contact support directly but there is no way to do so.

Hi, Luiggi. I am also facing the same issue. Could I please have a support ticket as well? This is frustrating as we cannot contact any support members directly with an issue so many people are facing.

May I suggest also adding this issue to the liat of FAQs? 

Thank you

[#19]

Hi I'm having the same problem if you could please help.  Thanks!

[#20]

I'm so happy to see this message. No matter what I do, I keep seeing "this phone number" is already in use. The "solutions" on other posts say to contact customer service and I keep going around in circles. I hope you can help.

Thank you,

Rosa

How do you contact support directly? There are no instructions anywhere on how to do that. It is just an endless loop of chatbot, go to Community etc etc. I am getting the error Phone number already in use. Please, check it and try again. If you're still having problems, please contact support.  I tried emailing support from an old ticket and it bounced back. Help please. My account is useless until I can get my number verified.
