Mobile Number and Username Issues

If you're having trouble with your mobile number or username on Gumtree.ie, resolving these issues helps ensure secure account access and seamless posting of job or service ads. This article will walk you through common mobile number and username problems, how to troubleshoot them, and how to update your details efficiently.

Common Issues with Mobile Number and Username

Users encounter difficulties such as failing to verify a mobile number, trouble updating their username, or not receiving verification codes. Both fields are essential for posting ads, managing listings, and account recovery. Keeping these details accurate improves account security and communication across the Gumtree.ie community.

Accessing Your Account Settings

Log in to your Gumtree.ie account using your registered email and password. Navigate to the user profile icon, typically located at the top right corner of the homepage. Select My Profile from the dropdown menu. 

How to Update Your Mobile Number

  1. Under Account Settings enter your new number.
  2. Follow the on-screen verification process.
  3. Save changes to complete the update.

Changing Your Username

Gumtree.ie does not permit username changes on existing accounts due to current platform limitations. If you need a new username, the only way is to fully delete your account. This removes your profile, all listings, and associated data from the site, giving you the option to start fresh. You can follow this guide here.

Troubleshooting and Support

  • If you do not receive a verification SMS, check details & connectivity.
  • Contact Gumtree support for assistance with persistent issues.
