I have this same problem.

I get this message when trying to verify my phone number (Phone number already in use. Please, check it and try again. If you're still having problems, please contact support.)

Hi. Similar issue.

I'm trying to finish my profile but my phone number is still associated with my old and now closed account. Please can you remove the phone number from the associated account so I can finish setting up my new profile? Thank you

You are blocked because you are not allowed to have new account. You will have to reopen your first account.

Honest question. How do you reach the support team directly? I need to get my phone number situation fixed and forgot password emails do not work for my old account. I see no way to contact support.

Hello!

 

I need assistance in moving my phone number to my new account. I cannot access the email that my old account is paired to, so I am unable to close the account and move my phone number myself. Please assist with this. Thank you.

hi Andrea, can you please share steps to 'reach out support team directly'? i dont see any phone number or article with steps. When used the chat functionality from Contact Support page, the chatbot responds (not exacty quote unquote)- please go to community page OR go to Contact Support page - which i had already tried. Please fix your chatbot as well. Or gove some contact number to talk to someone directly

Hello AndreaG,

I tried to reach the support team for this issue but I cannot find the link. I tried the chat and the bot just sends me a link that doesn't help. I get the "phone number already in use" error message. 

Thanks,

Tammy

Hello, I tried to find how to submit a support ticket for this, but i just couldnt get the bot to direct me to a ticket form, so here i am. I have the same issue. My account will not let me add a phone number due to it saying my number is in use.
