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?

I am getting the same error message as
When I am creating my profile and get to the phone verification step and get this error message: "Something went wrong. Please try again later." No code is ever sent and I can't move past this step.
I was wondering if the support team can kindly help me?
Thank you!

Has anyone else had this problem? I can't complete my profile creation. I've made it all the way to page 9/9 but keep getting an error message when trying to submit my phone number for verification. Have been checking for a few days now and nothing has changed.

I'm in the process of finishing/publishing my profile, and I come to the last portion where you fill out your address and give your phone number. Every time I try to 'Send Code' to my phone, I get the error message 'Something went wrong. Please try again later'. I've tried customizing cookie settings and using different browsers but I'm not having any luck - hoping someone can assist!

Hi!
I am trying to set up my profile for the first time and am not receiving the text message for authentication and am thus unable to finish creating my account.
I've tried closing my browser window, turning off my phone with no luck.
Let me know if there's anything else I can do to fix this issue!

From what I can tell, this has been an issue for years....
Try to enter my phone number in the personal section to create a profile.
* Something went wrong. Please try again later.
Tried for 3 days now.
what do I have to do to use your site.....? If you don't want users why don't you close the app?

I have been trying all day with no success. Could somebody please help me? I might also add that I have tried on both my laptop and my smartphone. I have also tried clearing cache and cookies on my devices.
