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

  • Switch to a VoIP or virtual number: If your carrier blocks short-code SMS, use a virtual number that routes through a clean gateway.

  • Wait for delayed OTPs: Network congestion can delay SMS delivery; wait up to 3 minutes before retrying.

  • Use a fresh, unlinked virtual number: If you suspect your current number is recycled or flagged, obtain a new virtual number.

Choose a virtual number from a supported region: Ensure BCD Travel supports SMS delivery to the region code of your chosen virtual number.
