How it works

Pick your Gumtree number type.

If you’re only testing a signup, a shared or free inbox may be enough. If you want better delivery success or may need to log in again later, choose an Activation or Rental number instead. These options are generally more reliable for Gumtree verification.

Choose the country and number.

Select the country you need, get your Gumtree verification number, and copy it carefully. When entering it, keep the format clean: +CountryCodeNumber or digits only if the form does not accept the plus sign.

Request the OTP on Gumtree

Enter the number on Gumtree and click Send code. Avoid repeated resend attempts right away. Send the code once, wait a short time, and refresh only once if needed.

Receive the SMS in your PVAPins inbox.

Once Gumtree sends the code, the OTP will appear in your PVAPins inbox. Copy the verification code and enter it on Gumtree as soon as possible, since OTPs often expire quickly.

If the code does not arrive, switch smartly

If you see errors like “Try again later,” or no SMS arrives, avoid repeatedly resending the code. The better fix is usually to switch to a different number or upgrade to a more reliable route, such as Activation or Rental.
