What is the difference between a PVA account and a regular one?

What is PVA?

PVA stands for phone verified account

Previously, the Internet did not have the requirement to use phones for registration, it all started in 2012-2013, when smartphones began to massively enter the market and it became more convenient for users to register using a phone number, not just mail.

What does this give in practice now?

There are many services and sites on which registration without SMS confirmation is simply impossible, such as Facebook, Telegram and the like, but there are also services, for example, postal services, where using a phone number is optional and in theory you can use mail without confirmation , but you will have some functions limited and the level of trust on the part of the service will be less, making it easier to get a lock. Another advantage of using PVA is that there is always the opportunity to restore an account even if the phone number is lost, but you know the number itself.

In conclusion, I would like to say that if you have the option to use a PVA account instead of the usual one, do it, the benefit of services where you can buy them or create yourself a lot now. We will talk about them in the following articles.
