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

  1. Enter your phone number carefully
    Use the correct country code and digits-only format if LinkedIn rejects symbols.

  2. Request the OTP once
    Tap Send code and wait. Multiple rapid requests can trigger a cooldown.

  3. Check signal + SMS filtering
    Make sure you have network coverage, disable “Unknown senders” filters, and check spam/blocked messages.

  4. Wait, then resend only once
    If nothing arrives, wait 60–120 seconds, then resend one time (don’t spam).

  5. Try an alternate verification option if shown
    If LinkedIn offers email or another method, use it, especially during SMS delays.

South Africa number format (quick copy)

  • Country code: +27

  • International prefix (dialing out locally): 00

  • Trunk prefix (local): 0 (drop it when using +27)

  • Plan type / length: closed plan, 9-digit NSN (you dial all 9 digits domestically)

  • Mobile pattern (common for OTP): many mobile ranges fall under 06 and 07 (and other mobile allocations), so mobiles often appear as 0X XXX XXXX locally

  • Mobile length used in forms: typically 9 digits after +27 (no leading 0)

Common pattern (example):

  • Mobile: 082 123 4567 → International: +27 82 123 4567 (drop the leading 0)

Quick tip: If the form rejects spaces/dashes, paste it as +27821234567 (digits only).
