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 delivery and fewer rejections.

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

  • Request the OTP on OpenAI
    Enter the number on the OpenAI verification screen and tap Send code (avoid rapid retries).
    Note: verification can be sent via SMS or WhatsApp depending on country/number.

  • Check PVAPins inbox
    Refresh once or twice, copy the OTP as soon as it appears, and enter it immediately (codes expire fast).

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

    • 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).
