The text code verification to my cell phone isn't working. I'm not getting a text. I tried going into settings and enabling text verification...but that code didn't sent either. I'd like to complete my profile set-up. Any tips on getting this resolved? Thanks!

Ive tried clearing my cache, checking my wifi speed, using my phone, switching browsers, restarting my phone and trying again. NOTHING WORKS!! When I put my REAL phone number and all my information is correct it still does not send the code to my phone. I am just thinking of giving up on upwork because I have been trying to get this **bleep** to work for 2 months now. I just want to get my life in order and start making better money. For **bleep**s sake why cant I verify by e-mail? Please don't respond to this with "one of our support team reps will reach out to you" just fix my problem ffs.

Yeah, I didn't know before I did it but I wasn't even able to finish my profile on that account I deleted because of this problem so it dosen't matter.

Hi there,

I am trying to verify my UK mobile phone number and I'm not receiving a verification text no matter what I try.  I have tried my second number, other browsers, clearing cookies etc but still nothing comes through.  Can one of the admin team please assist?

Thanks in advance.

You need to get a verification request initiated by Upwork, did you get it? You can't initiate it yourself. Upwork may or may not send you such a request, it depends on them.

 

More details:

https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010609234-ID-Verification-Badge

 

You may continue quoting and working on jobs, and earn money, which you cannot withdraw without verification. This may prompt a verification request from Upwork.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

It's the verification step in the profile creation stage that seems to be stuck.  Every time I log in I get redirected to this page https://www.upwork.com/ab/create-profile/min/location

The last step is to send a code to a mobile device to confirm it, and this is where the process is falling down.  I've also tried the mobile app without any luck.

Yes it was. It literally sent me a code 20 mins after I posted on the board. Thank you!

I tried to verify my account by sending my ID to be verified so I can take up more jobs on October 9th, but it's October 13th and it was supposed to be revised in 1 business day. I have until the 15th of this month to verify it and I'm worried I won't get confirmed by then, also I want to keep working, but it's not possible if not verified.

 

I hope someone can answer me, 

 

Thank you
