How it works

Pick your Shell number type.

If you’re doing quick testing, a shared/free number might work. But for better success, especially if you’ll need access again, choose Instant Activation (private) or a Rental number (repeat access). These options are less likely to be blocked and usually receive Shell OTP codes more reliably.

Choose the country + number.

Select your required country, get a number, and copy it correctly. Use the clean format: +CountryCodeNumber (example: +447911123456) or digits-only if needed (447911123456). Avoid spaces, dashes, or extra zeros.

Request the OTP on Shell.

Enter the number during signup, login, or verification on Shell, then tap Send code. Don’t spam requests; send once, wait 60–120 seconds, and resend only if necessary.

Receive the SMS on your dashboard.

The OTP will appear in your PVAPins inbox or dashboard. Copy the code immediately and enter it back on the Shell before it expires.

Japan number format (quick copy)

Country code: +81
International prefix (dialing out locally): 010
Trunk prefix (local): 0 (drop it when using +81)
Mobile pattern (common for OTP): mobiles typically start with 070 / 080 / 090 locally
Mobile length used in forms: usually 10 digits after +81 (because the leading 0 is removed)

Common pattern (example):

Mobile: 090-1234-5678 → International: +81 90 1234 5678 (drop the leading 0)

Quick tip: If the form rejects spaces/dashes, paste it as +819012345678 (digits only).
