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

  • Use your own Medium-compatible phone number.

    For the best chance of success, use a real mobile number you control. Avoid VoIP, temporary, or shared numbers, since they may not receive Medium verification codes reliably.

    Choose the correct country code + number.

    Select your country and enter your number in a clean format: +CountryCodeNumber (example: +14155550123) or digits-only if the form only accepts numbers (14155550123). Do not use spaces, dashes, brackets, or an extra leading 0 unless the form asks for it.

    Request the OTP on Medium.

    Enter the number on Medium for signup, login, or security verification, then tap Send code. Do not spam-resend. Send one request, wait 60–120 seconds, and resend only once if needed.

    Receive the SMS on your phone.

    The Medium OTP code should arrive by text message on your device. Copy it and enter it back on Medium quickly, since codes can expire fast.

    If it fails, troubleshoot cleanly.

    If no code arrives or you see an error, do not keep hammering; use the resend button. Double-check the country code and number format, wait a bit, then try once more. If it still fails, try your carrier network instead of Wi-Fi calling, or contact Medium support.

    • 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).

    Why Use a Virtual Number for Medium in China?

    Here’s the deal: a virtual number isn’t just some hacky shortcut. It’s actually the more innovative approach.

    • Keep your privacy. Your real number stays safe from spam, random calls, or worse.

    • Handles everything: from sign-ups to logins and OTPs - it just works.

    • Multiple accounts? No problem, run two, three, or ten Medium accounts without needing to swap SIMs.

    • Fast and reliable Codes usually land in seconds, even in China.

    • Zero SIM hassle, no extra phones, no physical cards - all online.

    ? Fun fact: According to Statista, about 70% of internet users now use secondary or temporary numbers for sign-ups. Makes sense,   nobody wants their personal number floating around the web.

    Pricing & Rental Options in China

    Temporary numbers are perfect for quick, one-time verification or testing environments. You pay once, receive the code, and move on, simple and cost-effective. Rentals keep the same number active for days or months, ideal for frequent logins, predictable recovery, and multi-profile workflows. PVAPins uses transparent, usage-based pricing so you only pay for what you need. Pick a duration, confirm the route, and you’re set. If your needs change, upgrade to a longer rental to maintain continuity and avoid reuse friction.

    Example: Agencies running multiple Medium profiles keep rentals per profile to prevent lockouts during busy periods.

    Troubleshooting Slow OTP Delivery (Quick Guide)

    When your Medium code in China lags—no big deal:

    • Reload the PVAPins inbox and check the newest entry.

    • Grab a fresh China number if the first line’s busy.

    • Make sure you selected SMS (not call) inside Medium.

    Pick a rental number if you’ll need frequent re-logins.
