AirIndia SMS Verification – Free OTP Codes for Booking

By Ryan Brooks Last updated: January 24, 2026
Air India verification is usually part of signing in, creating an account, or confirming details during a booking. It should be a quick request: enter the code, continue. But sometimes the OTP shows up late, doesn’t show up at all, or you hit a cooldown after a couple of resends (which is extra annoying when you’re trying to lock in a fare). Most of the time, it’s number formatting, carrier routing delays, or too many requests too fast. With PVAPins, you can receive Air India SMS codes using online numbers. Free inbox numbers can work for quick testing. Still, if you want a smoother success rate, especially when you need the code urgently, Activation or Rental is usually the cleaner route (better delivery patterns, fewer rejections, and repeat access).

SMS Reception
Quick rule: Make one clean OTP request, wait briefly, retry once — then switch number/route. Resend spam triggers rate limits and makes delivery worse.
Best route for success Activation/private routes usually pass filters better than public inbox numbers.
Best route for continuity Rentals are the safest choice if you'll log in again or need password resets.

How it works

  1. Choose your number type
    Free inbox = quick tests. Activation or Rental = typically better delivery and fewer rejections.

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

  3. Request the OTP on Air India
    Enter the number on the Air India verification screen and tap Send code (avoid rapid retries).

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

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

OTP not received? Do this

  • Wait 60–120 seconds (don't spam resend)
  • Retry once → then switch number/route
  • Keep device/IP steady during the flow
  • Prefer private routes for better pass-through
  • Use Rental for re-logins and recovery

Wait 60–120 seconds, then resend once.
Confirm the country/region matches the number you entered.
Keep your device/IP steady during the verification flow.
Switch to a private route if public-style numbers get blocked.
Switch number/route after one clean retry (don't loop).

Free vs Activation vs Rental (what to choose)

Choose based on what you're doing:

Free (public inbox) Good for quick tests. Higher block risk because numbers are reused.
Activation (one-time) Better OTP success for signup/login verification. Use when success matters.
Rental Best for re-logins, password resets, and recovery. Keep the same number longer.
Best practice Free → Activation when blocked → Rental when you need continuity.

Quick number-format tips (avoid instant rejections)

Most verification forms reject numbers because of formatting, not because your inbox is “bad.” Use international format (country code + digits), avoid spaces/dashes, and don’t add an extra leading 0.

Best default format: +CountryCode + Number (example: +14155552671)
If the form is digits-only: CountryCodeNumber (example: 14155552671)

Simple OTP rule: request once → wait 60–120 seconds → resend only once.
