ACCEPTED SOLUTION

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

Hi there, I would like to ask some help with regard to changing contact number. I am trying to change/update my contact number, but I did not find ways on how to update it. My cell phone was stolen last month, I am using a new number now.
Thank you

Hi,

 

I've lost my phone, so the phone number too.

I can't verify my account. How can I change the phone number?

I need to get paid, so this is urgent.

 

Please, help!

Hello, I moved to another country a year ago and changed my number (the old one belongs to someone else), but it asks me to verify my account at that number and I no longer have it. What can I do?

 

Thanks in advance.

I need to change my phone number because I no longer use the one that is registered in my account. But when I go to settings, a pop-up window will appear that says they need a code sent to my old number which I no longer use. How to solve this? I think getting paid is also affected by this. Please help. Thank you.
