How can I verify my phone number?

[#1]

I want to ask that what is the procedure to get the Phone number verified badge?

[#2]

Hi Jason, 

I checked your account and can see that you already have a mobile number on your account. Were you updating your mobile number?

Can you Verify my Phone Numer.....

[#4]

Hi Fahad,

The phone verification badge is something that used to be available and is still visible on profiles of freelancers who were able to receive it back then. However, it's not available anymore and can't be requested.

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm about to finish up setting my new account but I'm unable to verify my phone number.  I enter my number and it never proceeds onward from that screen or sends me a text message.  I am in the USA and have tried putting a "1" in front of mobile number, but nothing. I'm not able to continue without it. Please assist. Can you verify my phone number?

[#6]

Please could a member of the Customer Support Team reach out to me to assist with my phone verification?

It's not possible to verify my number on the web interface or the app. I tried contacting you on Messenger but no reply so far.

 I was looking at Petra's profile a moment ago and she has that tick badge on her profile.

Hi Yelyzaveta,

I believe Petra's phone was verified a while ago through a program that's not available anymore.

Hi. haven't seen my phone number verified yet on my profile .could you please tell me how can i verify my phone number ?. I want to see my phone number verified on my profile .Thanks 

[#17]

Hi Faiz,

Currently, it's not possible for freelancers to initiate phone verification and display it on their profile. If any additional verification is required for your profile, the team will notify you.

[#18]

Hi Valeria, why isn't your team didn't notify me regarding phone number verification? I've been using this phone number since the start of my Upwork Career but yet didn't receive any notifications.

Looking forward hearing from you.

Phone verification is optional at the request of a freelancer's client, Arjy. If you would like to have your profile phone verified, you can request your client to do this by contacting to the support team to begin the process. Please note that the phone Verification program is entirely optional, so you can continue to work on Upwork regardless if verified or not.

How do I get verified if I have a home phone number and not a cell phone?

[#21]

Hi Betsy,

Thanks for reaching out. A ticket will be created to  assist you further in verifying your phone number. 

[#22]

Similar question here:

I am keeping being asked to verify my cell phone # (when it is optional) in my

"Create your Profile for Consideration" screen

...

Next, you'll be asked to verify your phone number for added security.

Verify your phone number

If I click on X it goes back to creating profile.

Hi Georgi,

Phone verification for U.S users has been changed from being optional which is why you are unable to proceed with your profile. We ask U.S users to verify their phone number as another step to help ensure our marketplace is safe. At times, we unfortunately find that people want to join Upwork for reasons other than for the uses permitted on the platform. By asking new users in the U.S. to verify their phone number we hope to reduce the number of people who try to mislead us about their intentions or identity. Thank you for understanding.

I started to see many freelancers has a badge of phone number verified.

I'd like to know what is the advantage in being phone verified and how cloud I verify my phone number to get that badge?

[#25]

Hi Moustafa, 

As NIna has shared above, phone verification helps us ensure that the marketplace is safe. It gives another layer of confidence for clients that the freelancer they are dealing with is not misleading us with their identity. 

The Customer Support Team has setup your phone verification for you, and you should be able to do this by trying to submit a proposal for any job post. You will then be prompted to verify your phone number. Once verified, the badge will show up on your profile.

Thank you, Mrs. Avery.

 I've verified it but no badge appear is it take some time to do that?

Have a nice day
