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.

[#11]

Weren't you warned about seriousness of having multiple accounts?

[#12]

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 Eric, 

If you need help verifying your phone number because you're not receiving the code, we’ll need to ask you to confirm some private account details in order to help you. At Upwork, protecting your privacy is our priority. With this in mind, it would be best if you reach out directly to our support team so they can assist you within a private and secure channel of communication. 

How do I reach a human in customer support?

1. Select Get Support at the bottom of the Help Center page
2. Type a question or topic and select "Send." The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
3. If we don't find the information you need after a few tries, you’ll see an option under the article selections to "Contact Support"
4. Select "Contact Support" and follow the options provided

Trying to verify my phone number and finish registering, but no matter how many times I hit "Send Code," I receive nothing.  I submitted a help ticket and have not yet heard back.

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.

I am not receiving the phone verification code to finish up my profile. I resent and refreshed page, but I'm still not receiving the code.

[#22]

Hi Aaliayah,

Firstly, welcome to Upwork! I have checked and it looks like your phone has been verified and you were able to complete your profile. Let me know if you need further assistance.

[#23]

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

[#24]

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
