Cost and Rental Options in South Africa

PVAPins keeps pricing transparent and straightforward. Choose a Temporary number for a one-off verification, or a Rental number if you’ll log in regularly.

  • Temporary: Lowest cost for single use, perfect for quick signups or tests.
  • Rental: Best for re-logins, password resets, and device changes. You keep the same line, which reduces re-verification friction.
  • All rates are shown upfront, no hidden fees. Select what fits your current usage and switch anytime.

OTP Delayed? Try These Quick Fixes

  • Refresh the PVAPins inbox after 60–90 seconds, then request the code again.
  • Switch to another South Africa line to catch a fresh route immediately.
  • Avoid repeated requests in seconds; give Upwork a brief cooldown.

If you expect frequent re-logins, use a rental number to keep consistency.

Often yes, when you use supported routes and follow Upwork policies. If one path is congested, switch to another South Africa line or a nearby region to restore fast delivery.

2) Temporary vs rental: which should I choose for Upwork?

Pick temporary for single-use onboarding. Choose rental if Upwork regularly prompts re-verification; keeping the same Number improves login consistency and account recovery.

3) My OTP didn’t arrive. What should I try first?

Refresh your PVAPins inbox and wait 30–60 seconds before resending. If it’s still slow, change to another active route or a nearby country. This resolves most delivery hiccups.

4) Is it legal to use a virtual number in South Africa?

Generally, yes for legitimate purposes. Always comply with Upwork terms and local regulations. Virtual numbers protect privacy; they’re not a way to bypass identity rules.

5) Can I reuse a temporary number later?

Temporary numbers are single-use by design. For ongoing access, rent a number so it stays assigned during your rental window, preventing lockouts and repeated friction.
