Quick answers to common questions

PVAPins is a temporary phone number service for receiving SMS verification codes (OTP) without using your personal SIM. It covers 200+ countries and works with WhatsApp, Gmail, Telegram, Instagram, and hundreds of other platforms.

Create a free account, pick a country and the app you want to verify, choose a number, and your OTP code appears in your dashboard within seconds. No SIM card or personal info required.

A non-VoIP number comes from a real cellular carrier. Many platforms reject internet-based VoIP numbers, so non-VoIP routes improve OTP delivery success rates on stricter platforms like banking apps and major social networks.

Wait for the full timer, then cancel — your balance is refunded under the No-Code, No-Pay policy. Common fixes: try a different country/route, switch to a non-VoIP number, or contact support via Telegram.
