Why does Freelancer.com ask for ID verification when I change my number?
The new security phone number only applies once ID verification is complete. If you have a pending KYC verification for a withdrawal, you can't update the number until you cancel that verification.

Its help says you can use a mobile or a landline number, without extensions, in international format with the right country selected. TwinNumber numbers are registered as mobile.
