Temporary numbers are ideal for one-time checks, offering quick and low-cost solutions when you only need a single OTP for Craigslist. Rental numbers are assigned to you for days or weeks, making re-logins and account recovery smoother, with no need to switch numbers and fewer OTP hiccups. With PVAPins, rates are transparent for both options, and you’ll see pricing upfront before making a purchase. Bottom line: choose temporary for speed and savings; choose rental for stability and repeated access.

  • Refresh your dashboard (codes sometimes arrive during the refresh process).

  • Switch to another South Africa number for a faster hit.

  • Grab a rental if you’ll need to re-log later.

  • Double-check you picked Craigslist before generating a line.

Nine times out of ten, one of those fixes gets the job done.

1) Is using a virtual number allowed by Craigslist?

Craigslist requires a valid number that can receive OTPs. A PVAPin's Number does precisely that. Always follow Craigslist’s terms and use virtual numbers for legitimate verification only.

2) Temporary vs. Rental: What should I choose?

Pick Temporary for one-time sign-ups or quick tests. Choose Rental if you’ll log in frequently, switch devices, or expect to reset your account. Keeping the same line prevents lockouts.

4) Can I reuse a Temporary number later?

Temporary numbers are single-use by design. For ongoing access to Craigslist, rent a number so you can reliably receive future codes on the same line.

5) Will a virtual number impact account security?

Security comes down to your habits. Use strong passwords and enable 2FA. A dedicated rental number can improve continuity when traveling or changing SIMs.

6) Can I verify while abroad?
