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 your number type
    Free inbox = quick testing. Activation or Rental = typically better delivery and fewer blocks.

  • Pick country + copy the number
    Select the country you need, grab a number, and copy it exactly.

  • Request the OTP on Grab
    Enter the number in Grab and tap Send code. Avoid rapid retries.

  • Check PVAPins inbox
    Refresh once or twice, copy the OTP as soon as it arrives, and enter it right away (codes can expire fast).

  • If it fails, switch smart
    Don’t spam resend. Switch number/route, wait a bit, then try once again.

  • Ethiopia number format (quick copy)

    • Country code: +251

    • International prefix (dialing out locally): 00

    • Trunk prefix (local): 0 (drop it when using +251)

    • National (significant) number length (NSN): 9 digits

    • Mobile pattern (common for OTP):

      • Ethio telecom mobiles: 09X XXX XXXX locally → +251 9X XXX XXXX internationally

      • Safaricom mobiles: 07X XXX XXXX locally → +251 7X XXX XXXX internationally

    • Mobile length used in forms: typically 9 digits after +251 (no leading 0)

    Common pattern (examples):

    • Ethio telecom: 091 234 5678+251 91 234 5678 (drop the trunk 0)

    • Safaricom: 071 234 5678+251 71 234 5678 (drop the trunk 0)

    Quick tip: If the form rejects spaces, paste it as +251912345678 (digits only).

    Pricing & Rental Options in Ethiopia

    PVAPins keeps it straightforward with two plans:

    • Temporary numbers: Best for quick one-time signups or short tests.

    • Rental numbers: Perfect if you need the same number long-term for logins or business accounts.

    Rates are transparent, no hidden surprises, and cover 200+ countries. Whether you need a fast OTP for one account or reliable access for months, PVAPins has you covered.


    Temporary vs. Rental in Ethiopia: Pick Your Plan

    Temp numbers — best for one-and-done OTPs and quick setups.

    Rentals — reuse the same number for ongoing sessions and security checks.

    Value note: what you see is what you pay—straightforward Pricing.

    Fixing Delays in Grab OTP Codes

    • Refresh the inbox after 10–20 seconds; most OTPs arrive quickly.

    • Switch to another Ethiopia number if the first route feels congested.

    • Try a nearby country route (regional carriers) for faster delivery.

    • Use a Rental if you re-login often, persistent lines reduce friction and retries.

    Example: when carrier traffic spikes, swapping lines typically restores instant delivery right away.

    Grab SMS in Ethiopia: Frequently Asked Questions

    1) Do PVAPins numbers always work for Grab?

    We maintain app-specific pools to maximize deliverability; however, no provider can guarantee 100% success. If a line is slow or blocked, switch to a fresh number or use a rental for stability. Inventory refreshes often.

    2) Temporary vs rental, what should I choose?

    For one-time verification, pick Temporary. For frequent logins, choose a Rental (7–30 days) so you keep the same number for 2FA, resets, and future OTPs.

    3) How long does OTP delivery take?

    Most codes arrive in 5–20 seconds. During peak times or when app-side limits are reached, it may take longer. Keep the PVAPins inbox open and request a new OTP if the first one expires.

    4) Can I reuse the same number for password recovery?

    Yes, use a Rental. Temporary lines are recycled, so they’re not ideal for future resets. Rentals provide continuity and increase your chances of success on repeat verifications.

    5) Do I need a local SIM in Ethiopia?

    No. That’s the benefit of verifying with a virtual number and avoiding extra SIM purchases or roaming charges.
