Free vs Activation vs Rental (what to choose)

Free (public inbox)Good for quick tests. Higher block risk because numbers are reused.
Activation (one-time)Better OTP success for verification flows. Use when success matters.
RentalBest for re‑logins, password resets, and recovery. Keep access longer.
Simple ruleFree → Activation when blocked → Rental when you need continuity.

How it works

Pick your Craigslist number type.

If you’re only testing a signup or basic posting flow, a free/shared inbox may be enough. If you want a better success rate or may need the number again later, choose Activation or Rental instead, since those options are usually more reliable.

Choose the country and number.

Select the country you need, get a number, and copy it carefully. When you paste it into Craigslist, keep the format clean: +CountryCodeNumber or digits-only if the form only accepts numbers.

Request the OTP on Craigslist

Enter the number on Craigslist and request the verification code. Do not keep pressing resend. Send one request, wait a bit, then refresh or resend only once if needed.

Receive the SMS on PVAPins

When the OTP arrives in your PVAPins inbox, copy it and enter it back into Craigslist right away. Verification codes can expire quickly, so it is best to use the newest one as soon as it appears.

If it fails, switch smart.

If no code arrives or Craigslist shows an error like “try again later”, avoid repeated retries on the same number. Switch to a fresh number or move to a better route, such as Activation or Rental, since that often fixes the issue faster than repeated resend attempts.

Australia number format (quick copy)

Country code: +61
Typical format: +61 (mobile) XXX XXX XXX
Quick tip: Drop the leading 0 from local mobiles (0412… → +61 412…), and if the form rejects spaces, paste it as +61XXXXXXXXX
