Per-country summary

Attempts	Country	OpenAI selector gate	Activation IDs	Outcome
1-3	Italy	`意大利 (+39)`, `IT`	`1006751549`, `1006752140`, `1006752704`	5sim `RECEIVED`, `sms_count=0`; resend channel was WhatsApp; canceled.
4-6	Poland	`波兰 (+48)`, `PL`	`1006753330`, `1006753872`, `1006754409`	5sim `RECEIVED`, `sms_count=0`; resend channel was WhatsApp; canceled.
7-9	Spain	`西班牙 (+34)`, `ES`	`1006755063`, `1006755710`, `1006756318`	5sim `RECEIVED`, `sms_count=0`; resend channel was WhatsApp; canceled.

Important observations

The new stale-tab cleanup worked. Before most OAuth recoveries, the runner emitted:

{"phase":"close_stale_oauth_tabs","reason":"before_oauth_recover","closed_count":1}

This prevented the previous tab pile-up problem.

Strict country/area-code gates worked for all tested regions:

Italy: IT / 意大利 (+39)
Poland: PL / 波兰 (+48)
Spain: ES / 西班牙 (+34)
UK: GB / 英国 (+44)

OpenAI repeatedly showed WhatsApp delivery/resend:

重新发送 WhatsApp 消息

Under BOSS's SMS-only policy, the runner did not click WhatsApp resend; it canceled the 5sim SMS activation and rotated.

Conclusion

For this account/session/proxy path, these Europe regions also did not produce SMS via 5sim openai activation:

Italy +39
Poland +48
Spain +34
United Kingdom +44

The repeated WhatsApp resend signal suggests OpenAI is selecting WhatsApp delivery for these numbers/regions or risk state, so continuing to buy 5sim SMS-only numbers is unlikely to complete the phone verification unless the delivery channel changes or a different provider/number class is used.
