How it works

Pick your ICQ number type.

If you only need a quick test, a free/shared inbox number may be enough. If you want a better success rate or think you need access again later, choose an Activation or Rental number. These options are usually more reliable and less likely to be blocked.

Choose the country and number.

Select the country you need, get a number, and copy it carefully. Paste it into the ICQ signup or login form using a clean international format such as +1XXXXXXXXXX. If the ICQ form accepts digits only, enter it without the plus sign.

Request the OTP on ICQ

Enter the number in ICQ and request the verification code. Avoid sending multiple requests too quickly. The safest approach is to request the code once, wait a bit, and refresh only once if needed.

Receive the SMS in your PVAPins inbox.

When the ICQ verification code arrives in your PVAPins inbox, copy it and enter it back into ICQ as soon as possible. OTP codes often expire fast, so timing matters.

If verification fails, switch smartly.

If no code arrives or ICQ shows a message like “Try again later” or “Verification failed,” do not keep spamming the resend button. It is usually better to switch to a new number or move to a more reliable option, such as Activation or Rental. That often solves the issue faster than repeated retries.

China number format (quick copy)

Country code: +86
International prefix (dialing out locally): 00
Trunk prefix (local): 0 (drop it when using +86)
Mobile pattern (common for OTP):1xx-XXXX-XXXX (most mobile prefixes are 13x–19x)
Mobile length used in forms:11 digits after +86 (no leading 0)

Typical pattern (example):

Mobile: 138 1234 5678 → International: +86 138 1234 5678

Quick tip: If the form rejects spaces/dashes, paste it as +8613812345678 (digits only).
