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

Choose the number type.

Free inbox = quick testing. Activation or Rental = better delivery and fewer rejections.

Pick a country + copy the number

Select the country, grab a number, and copy it exactly.

Request the code on Telegram

Enter the number on Telegram and tap Send code. Avoid rapid retries.

Get the OTP in PVAPins

Refresh the inbox and copy the Telegram code as soon as it arrives.

If it fails, switch once (don’t spam)

No code or blocked? Switch number/route and try again; once spamming, resend usually makes it worse.

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 Telegram in China?

Here's the deal: a virtual China number works just like a SIM-based number but keeps your real one safe. No exposure, no spam, no awkward risks. Plus, it makes verification smoother and a lot more flexible.

Benefits at a glance:

  • Protect your privacy: Your SIM stays hidden, reducing spam and unwanted exposure.

  • Run multiple accounts: Manage several Telegram profiles without juggling devices or extra SIM cards.

  • Faster delivery: Non-VoIP numbers mean OTPs usually arrive within seconds.

  • Flexible use cases: Grab a temporary number or rent long-term, your choice.

  • Transparent updates: Numbers refresh in real time, so availability is clear.

  • Local reliability: Optimized for China carriers, cutting latency and blocked code issues.

Bottom line: you stay in control, and verification works.
