How to Verify ProtonMail Without a SIM — Quick Setup in France

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 tests. Activation or Rental = typically better success and fewer blocks.

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

  • Request the OTP on Proton Mail
    Enter the number on the verification screen 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 expire fast).

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

    • France number format (quick copy)

    Country code: +33

    Typical mobile format: +33 6 XX XX XX XX or +33 7 XX XX XX XX

    Typical landline format: +33 1 XX XX XX XX (Paris) and +33 2/3/4/5 for other regions

    Super important tip: French numbers are often written with a leading 0 locally (example: 06 XX XX XX XX).

    But for verification forms, you usually need the international format, so you remove the 0 and use +33 instead:

    • Local: 06 12 34 56 78

    • International: +33 6 12 34 56 78

    • No spaces version (when forms are picky): +33612345678

    If a site rejects it, it’s usually one of these:

    • You accidentally kept the leading 0 after +33 (don’t do +3306)

    • The form doesn’t like spaces/dashes → paste it as +33XXXXXXXXX
