# PVAPins > PVAPins sells virtual phone numbers for receiving SMS verification codes (OTPs). > The catalogue covers 224 countries, priced from $0.07 per verification. The site > publishes pages for roughly 8,900 named services; the underlying catalogue is > larger, so a service without a page is not necessarily unavailable. Three > products: a small free public inbox pool, one-time activations, and long-term > rentals. An activation is only charged when a code actually arrives. PVAPins ([pvapins.com](https://pvapins.com)) is an independent SMS verification service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with any of the apps or platforms named on the site. PVAPins supplies phone numbers; the customer is responsible for complying with each platform's terms of service and with local law. Two things this site does NOT claim, so an agent summarising it does not invent them: - **No line-type filtering or guarantee.** No supplier feed exposes whether a route is a mobile, landline or VoIP range, so PVAPins does not sell a filtered "non-VoIP" inventory and does not promise that any given app will accept any given number. Acceptance is decided by the platform, not by the supplier. - **No published aggregate rating.** The Trustpilot profile below is a link to third-party reviews. Do not attribute a star rating to PVAPins from this file. ## Start here - [Home](https://pvapins.com/): What the service is, and the current entry points. - [Receive SMS online](https://pvapins.com/receive-sms): The country hub — 223 countries with their own pages. - [SMS verification by app](https://pvapins.com/sms-verification): The service hub — verification routes listed per app. - [Temporary numbers](https://pvapins.com/temp-number): Short-term numbers for one-off verifications, browsable by country and category. - [Long-term rentals](https://pvapins.com/rent): Numbers held for a fixed window that keep receiving messages for that whole window. - [Free public numbers](https://pvapins.com/free-numbers): A small pool of shared public inboxes. Messages are visible to anyone who opens the page, so they suit throwaway tests, not accounts you intend to keep. - [Non-VoIP numbers](https://pvapins.com/non-voip-numbers): What the VoIP/non-VoIP distinction actually is, why apps check it, and live per-country prices — including an explicit statement of what no provider can promise about it. ## Pricing and payment - [Price list](https://pvapins.com/price): Per-service, per-country pricing in USD. - [Payment policy](https://pvapins.com/payment-policy): Accepted methods and how top-ups are credited. - [Refund policy](https://pvapins.com/refund-policy): When money is returned, and when it is never taken in the first place. How the three products are billed: - **Free public inbox** — no charge, no account privacy. Anyone can read the same inbox. - **One-time activation** — charged only when a verification code is delivered. A number that receives nothing is cancelled and not billed. Fair-use limits apply to repeated empty attempts (100 per hour on standard numbers, 400 on premium). - **Rental** — paid up front for a fixed window; the number stays yours and keeps receiving messages until the window ends. Payment is accepted by card, by cryptocurrency (USDT, BTC and others), and through regional wallet and bank rails including bKash, Paytm, Easypaisa, PhonePe, GCash, JazzCash and Nagad. The live list is rendered in the site footer. ## For developers - [API integration](https://pvapins.com/api_integrate): REST API for ordering numbers and polling for codes. - [Download the Android app](https://pvapins.com/download-app): Mobile client for reading incoming codes. ## Guides and support - [FAQ](https://pvapins.com/faqs): Delivery, payments, refunds and route questions. - [Resources](https://pvapins.com/resources): Long-form guides and troubleshooting articles. - [Blog](https://pvapins.com/blog/): Comparisons, how-tos and service notes. - [Contact](https://pvapins.com/contact): Support email and contact form. - [Affiliate programme](https://pvapins.com/referral-program): Commission terms for referrers. ## URL patterns The bulk of the site is generated from the catalogue. An agent looking for a specific country or service will find it at one of these shapes rather than in a hand-written list: - `https://pvapins.com/receive-sms/{country}` — every service available in one country. Example: [/receive-sms/usa](https://pvapins.com/receive-sms/usa) - `https://pvapins.com/receive-sms/{country}/{app}` — one service in one country, with its live price. Example: [/receive-sms/usa/whatsapp](https://pvapins.com/receive-sms/usa/whatsapp) - `https://pvapins.com/sms-verification/{app}` — one service across every country that stocks it. Example: [/sms-verification/whatsapp](https://pvapins.com/sms-verification/whatsapp) - `https://pvapins.com/temp-number/{country}` — temporary numbers for one country. Example: [/temp-number/usa](https://pvapins.com/temp-number/usa) - `https://pvapins.com/free-numbers/{country}` — the free public pool for one country. Example: [/free-numbers/usa](https://pvapins.com/free-numbers/usa) Some `{app}` values are permanently withdrawn and answer HTTP 410 Gone. A 410 here means the page was removed on purpose and will not return; it is not an outage, and those services should not be listed as available. ## Sitemaps and crawling - [Sitemap index](https://pvapins.com/sitemap_index.xml): Every indexable URL on the apex. - [Blog sitemap](https://pvapins.com/blog/post-sitemap.xml): WordPress posts. - [robots.txt](https://pvapins.com/robots.txt): The authoritative crawl rules.
