Receive SMS Online in Benin with a +229 Virtual Number

By Alex Carter Last updated: January 21, 2026

Benin (+229) is one of those countries where OTP delivery can be smooth… or randomly strict, depending on the app. And because the number pool isn’t huge, free/public inbox numbers get reused fast. Once a number is reused too many times, platforms start flagging it, so you’ll see “number can’t be used,” delays, or no OTP at all.

With PVAPins, you can start with a free Benin number for quick tests, then switch to Rental or Instant Activation/private routes when you need better deliverability or repeat access (re-login, 2FA, recovery). Quick note: PVAPins isn’t affiliated with any app — use it for legit, policy-compliant verification only.
