Vkontakte is the most popular social network in Russia and the CIS countries. Every day, not only the number of active users is growing, but also the number of fake accounts. To solve this problem, the Vkontakte management decided to bind it to a specific phone when creating a page, which not all users liked. How to register in VK without a phone number? Let's figure it out.
What does registration through the phone give
Not everyone understands the importance of linking a phone when creating a social media account. The implementation of such a function has two main goals:- Improve security. When you link a cell phone, spambots will not be able to send “nasty” messages from your profile to friends. It also makes it harder to hack an account, as logon sessions from other PCs are displayed on the mobile device;
- Support for the mobile version of Vkontakte.
It should also be taken into account that the developers of the social network are planning to completely abandon the use of e-mail for linking a profile in order to increase the level of security.
Can I register in VK without a phone number?
There is no unequivocal answer to the question, since in any case you will have to enter the number or use third-party resources. Of course, the field can be left blank, but then the user will be missing some of the features without which Vkontakte cannot be called a social network, namely:- A ban is imposed on sending private messages to other users;
- It is forbidden to add to friends;
- The ability to join groups.
Vkontakte registration without a phone
There are three main ways to create a page in VK for free without linking a number:- Fake (fake) phone ;
- Login via Facebook;
- Through a virtual number.
Fake number
The essence of the method is that when creating a profile, the user does not use his own number, but someone else's. For example, take a phone from friends or buy a second SIM card. On the confirmation page, enter the third-party number:If you have a landline phone, you can go a different way. To do this, just enter the number in the 11-digit form and click "Get the code". The robot will call and say the profile activation code. This method allows you to register countless pages using one phone.
The risk of the method lies in the fact that if the data from the account is lost, it will be difficult or even impossible to recover the password (in the case of a landline number). It is recommended to use the "Fake phone" method only if the page is not the main one.
Login with Facebook
Despite the fact that Vkontakte is a Russian-language site, the current owners of mail.ru are trying with all their might to enter the foreign market, cooperating with other social networks. One of these partners is Facebook.Vkontakte provides only foreign residents register on the resource through Facebook. But since we are in Russia, we will have to cheat the system a little. For this we will use anonymizers, of which there are a great many on the Internet.
As an example, consider one of the popular Chameleon anonymizers. Go to the site:
We simply drive vk.com into the search bar or select from the list of popular queries.
This is how registration looks like for residents from Russia:
And this is what the site looks like for a user logged in through the anonymizer:
Accordingly, we click on "Login with Facebook".
Note: Do not forget that this method requires a Facebook account, which requires only an email to register.
The risks of the method are the same as in the above: the inability to recover lost user data.
Creating a Vkontakte page via a virtual phone
Now let's talk about a difficult, but more effective way to create an account in VK without a phone.To create a virtual number will use international servicepringer. com... You cannot make calls through it, but you can receive SMS messages that are necessary to complete the registration.
If you have an account on google +, Facebook or Twitter, then to save time on the service, you can go through these resources.
It should be noted that the number is issued to you on a permanent basis. If you have forgotten your account password, you can request confirmation of the recovery request on your current phone.
You can use not only the Pringer service, but other analogs of a virtual cellular (Room5, Kontiki, Bizo, Kendo UI).
Video instructions: how to register in VK without a number
The following video presents the main ways of registering on the Vkontakte social network without entering a personal phone number. All methods are relevant:Despite the large number of ways to bypass the system, do not be afraid to enter your personal phone number when creating a profile in VK. Firstly, registration is completely free - they won't take a dime from the user. Secondly, it will increase the level of security. Hacking an account is more difficult, and you will always be aware of unauthorized actions from your page.
It is possible to create an account on VKontakte without specifying a mobile phone number. However, there are some nuances that need to be taken into account.
If a social network is required only for listening to music and watching videos, there will be no problems at the initial stage. In this case, filling in the field with the phone number is optional. The user will be able to go to his page, but will be deprived of the opportunity to send private messages, subscribe to friends and groups.
For registration of a full-fledged profile you can use one of several system bypass options. For example, a fake number.
Fit strangerSIM-map or home / landline telephone. The first method is disposable. To do this, you need to borrow a mobile device from someone or buy a new number and wait for a confirmation SMS.
In second case the source can be used an unlimited number of times. It happens like this: the VK robot determines that it is impossible to send a message to it. Therefore, he himself calls and dictates the code required to enter.
This method is not dangerous and does not threaten anything. The only thing with which they can difficulties arise- checking the number to which the page is linked or restoring it when frozen.
You can also log into a social network without entering a phone number acrossFacebook... But you will need to resort to some trick, since VKontakte only allows foreign users to do this. To be identified as a resident of a western country, you just need to change your IP address. There are many programs for this: Chameleon, Proxy Switcher, SafeIP, etc.
After that, under the standard data indication, the button “ Login with Facebook". When creating an account, it only requires an email. 
Using a temporary virtual number
Another secret is to use virtual number... It is very easy to get it. There are many services that provide these services. Some of them are paid, but are considered reliable - the possibility that the phones were previously used by someone is small.
But if you're not willing to pay the money, you can find free resources as well. The best of them is considered Pinger(recognized international). The procedure for obtaining a temporary number on all such services is identical and goes as follows:
- We go to the site and press the button “ sign up»;
- It will be necessary here fill standard fields for registration: login, password, email address, age and gender;
- Then a list of suitable numbers will be offered to choose from;
- We choose any the one you like and enter it in the field for entering the VK;
- Then he will receive a code confirming successful registration.
The best virtual number services
In case of problems with the first service, you can use the equally popular ones:
Sometimes you urgently need to register in a network. Take VKontakte, for example. She and many others like her are asked to indicate their number.
But what if you don't want to include your number? Or has it already been used for registration (you cannot register two accounts for one number)? Or maybe everything is so urgent that there is no time to buy another SIM card?
Whatever the circumstances, there is always a way out:
- You can ask your friends or neighbors for a number. But they may not always have a free number for VK. And if it turns out, they can lie or ask for money. In addition, if the number remains with them, they can easily change the password for your account;
- You can use a free disposable number to simply receive an SMS with a code;
- You can register in the IP-telephony system and buy a number from them.
-telephony?
IP telephony is a technology for using conventional telephony over the IP protocol. Since Internet traffic is cheaper than using telephone networks, IP telephony is also cheaper. In addition, a virtual phone number is created for free. Although the usual numbers are connected for a fee.
In addition, the flow of information is transmitted in digital form and is necessarily compressed in order to save traffic and not transmit information garbage through the channels.
You can use this number both from a computer and from a smartphone. You just need to install the application and you can start texting or calling. There are also stationary devices for IP telephony. Virtual numbers are also connected to them.
Free disposable number for SMS
There are services that allow their users to use a free number to receive an SMS with a code. It seems to be convenient, but there is one "but": there are few free numbers.
You go to the service page (for example, tempsms .ru). Usually the numbers are shown immediately on the main page. And on the same page the SMS that came to them are shown. That is, everyone can see your code. This is not the safest option.
The second significant drawback is that you must have time to register before no one has taken the number. Rooms can be changed every day or several times a day. In terms of budget, this is not bad. In terms of anonymity, too. Because if a whole bunch of people use one number, it will be difficult to track down any specific one. Especially if you use the number only once and with a proxy.
If you want a one-time account and don't want to spend a dime, this is perfect. But if you need a profile in VK for a long time, this option will not work - if you need to receive another SMS, you will not receive it. Because the number is likely to change. Especially considering that this SMS may only be needed in months.
Personal virtual number
It will be safer to get a virtual number for your own use. So that only you can read your SMS. Fortunately, creating a virtual phone number for 10 minutes for free is not so difficult and still anonymous. Just do not forget to cover the webcam with tape so that the recording with your face does not get to intruders)
There are several services that do this:
- other.
Each, as always, has its own "nuances". Comtube, for example, allows you to get an international number free of charge and without a monthly fee (there is a monthly fee for the RF number). But it cannot be used to register somewhere.
It's not about the policy of the service, it's about how the message should look. That is, the SMS that is sent to you must begin with your username on the service. And since VK and other sites create messages automatically, they will never send you SMS of the desired format. Therefore, linking an account through a virtual comtube number is not possible.
When creating a new account on the VKontakte social network, the user must indicate his mobile phone number. Until 2012, it was enough to enter only an e-mail address, but to combat fraudsters, the administration tightened the registration rules. This restriction is not suitable for everyone, so let's figure it out how without a phone number. Do not forget that VK rules do not approve the creation of duplicate accounts, so use our instructions only if you do not want to declassify your mobile phone number.
In order not to indicate your phone number, it is possible to create a virtual number for receiving sms. Such a number is issued on special online services, it is to him that a message comes with an account activation code. On the site you will see the text of the received SMS and enter the code in the VK registration form.

Virtual number for receiving sms: what is it and why is it needed?
Virtual number- this is a fake number that can be temporarily obtained on certain sites. Most often, a virtual number is used to receive a code that is sent by various social networks (Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki, etc.) and postal resources.

Where can I get a virtual phone number for free?
There are many internet services that offer virtual numbers. However, not all of them work for free. The difference between paid and free services is only in the number of users of a certain virtual number. Thus, when choosing a free number, you should be aware that someone else is using it. But you have to pay for a personal virtual number. If we have sorted out this point, then proceed to the choice of service. Let's consider the most popular ones.
