Q: I’m getting an error “Phone number already in use”.
A: This number is already registered to another account. Each number must be unique. Use a different number or contact support.
Q: Is phone verification mandatory for employees?
A: Not mandatory, but recommended. Without a verified number, the employee will not receive SMS notifications about shifts.
Q: How can a manager check if their number is verified?
A: In My profile, a verified number is displayed without a warning. An unverified one shows a “Please confirm” prompt.
Q: Can I use a company work number instead of a personal one?
A: Technically possible if that number receives SMS. But one number = one account; shared use is not supported.
Q: Do I need to re-verify the phone when changing the number?
A: Yes. After changing the number, a new SMS verification will be required.
Q: What if my number has changed and the old one is no longer available?
A: Contact support — specialists will update the number manually.
Q: Does phone verification affect schedule functionality?
A: No. The schedule works independently. However, without the owner’s verified number, employee invitations cannot be sent.

A: No. Each account requires a unique phone number.
