Compare Temporary vs Rental Numbers in South Africa

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.

Common Questions About Craigslist SMS in South Africa

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.

3) What if my OTP doesn’t arrive?

Refresh the inbox and wait up to 90 seconds. If nothing appears, release and pick a new South Africa line. Network congestion occurs; switching lines usually resolves the issue.

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?

Yes. Select a working South Africa number in PVAPins, then verify Craigslist as usual. Rentals provide better continuity if you log in from multiple locations.
