Which country is suitable for registering in VK. How to register on VKontakte without providing a phone number

I want to immediately warn novice computer users: you are better off linking your mobile phone to the new page! It’s easier this way, and, most importantly, your page will be safer!

Registration methods that are currently no longer valid (2019)

I decided to tell you about ways to register in VK without a mobile phone number that no longer work so that you don’t waste a day unsuccessfully trying to register. Moreover, most sites advise using these methods.

Registration methods are valid, although not always

Using a virtual phone number

There are services that, for a small fee, will provide you with a virtual phone number during registration. To do this, you need to register with the service, get a number and paste it into the window in Contact. Then, in the same service, you receive a confirmation code received from VK, enter it and complete the registration. There is no need to use a real mobile phone - you receive SMS via your computer.

Most often, websites recommend the Pinger service. but, there are many other services that provide phone numbers for receiving SMS. However, there are even more spammers! They registered thousands of “wrong” accounts and now there is no guarantee that the provided virtual number is no longer used! Therefore, you have only one option left - to check for yourself the possibility of using this or that service that provides virtual phone numbers. If you're lucky, you'll register; if you're unlucky, you won't register!

If you need a page not for spamming activities, but for good purposes, link your mobile phone to your account and you will be happy!

Sometimes there is a need for a second, fake VKontakte page to check someone, get acquainted, speak out, and for other purposes. At one time, having asked myself this question, I tried dozens of methods, but only one of them really worked. The time to complete this fraud is about 5 minutes. And now more details.

Pros: the method works, the page is confirmed (no need to enter captcha);
Cons: If a page without a number is blocked, it is practically impossible to restore it, operations with confirmation of the number are not available (change of url address, change of first and last name);

To create a page we will need:
1. Level hands and a working computer with the Internet, Google Chrome browser
2. Android phone
3. Android application Next Plus
4. Extension for Google Chrome called Zen Mate

Note! Before starting this procedure, create a txt or word file on your desktop where you will save the data.

STEP 1. Create a mailbox
First, we need the mailbox that we use to verify our Facebook account. It is much easier to create it on the mail ru website
. Fill out the information and register. This will take no more than a minute. I created an email [email protected] with password QwErTy228.

Note! To avoid confirming your number, click “I don’t have a mobile phone,” then enter any backup email and proceed to the next step.

STEP 2. Register on Facebook
Now let's create a Facebook profile. We need it to authorize VKontakte. Attention! The first and last name will be imported from Facebook and it will no longer be possible to change them on VKontakte without a number. Therefore, choose your fake data and go ahead. I created a profile of the same Vasily Traktor, with a box [email protected] and password QwErTy228.

STEP 3. Confirm your Facebook account via E-mail
Having skipped all the steps, we find ourselves in the Facebook news feed and at the top we will have a notification that we need to go to our just created mailbox and confirm the page. Click on the “go to mailbox” button and in the sent letter click the “Confirm registration” button.

STEP 4. Confirm your Facebook page with your phone number
Now we need the Next Plus Android application, which can be downloaded from this link. In this application we will receive a toll-free number that will allow us to receive a message and confirm our Facebook account. First, go to the settings section, tab Pash notifications (clickable).

In this section, click “Add a phone number”, then click on the link “Enter your phone number here”. In the window that opens, select the country USA from the drop-down list and pick up the phone with the Next Plus program installed.

STEP 5. Confirm the number through the Next Plus application
After installing the application from the play market, launch it.

Step 6. Enable the Zen Mate extension
After installing the Zen Mate extension (clickable), launch it by clicking on the gray shield icon on the extensions panel or the green one if it is already activated. In the window that appears below, click off to activate the application and select any of the foreign countries (it doesn’t matter which one). This will allow us to change our IP to a foreign one, which will add a VKontakte login button from Facebook.

STEP 7. Register on VKontakte
The time has come for which we have gathered. Go to the site

It happens that people who already have a page on the VKontakte social network want to create a new one, but there is no extra phone number. Therefore, you can often hear questions from them: “How to register without a mobile phone?”, “Where can I get a new number for registration?” or “How and where to look for virtual numbers in order to register on VKontakte?” If you have any of these questions in your head, then you can find the answer in this article!

How to create an account without using your own phone?

The conditions for registering on the VKontakte social network are becoming stricter every time. As of today, the previously functioning option of registering via email is not available. Confirmation via mobile phone required! It is advisable to use a completely new number so as not to untie it from the previous page.

In 2012, the administration of the social network decided to remove the ability to register an account through just one e-mail. They were guided by the fact that it was much safer this way. Because of this innovation, the number of new account registrations has dropped, and fraud statistics have also dropped significantly.

Many functions are closed to users with an unverified number. You won’t be able to create your own group or like it; an annoying captcha will appear every time.

Why do you need to link your mobile phone to your account?

- Additional protection.
Blocking bots that send messages and cheat any functions through special programs.

— Ability to restore your account in case of hacking.
If you have linked your mobile number to your personal page, then it is possible to simply send a message to the number and confirm the password change.

— Screening out burglars.
If ill-wishers have your login or password, or, in principle, any information, it will be impossible to use it without the code that will be sent to you via SMS.

That's all the benefits of linking a phone number to a page. This is enough to link your cell number right now, because the risk of losing your account is very high!

But in any case, on at the moment Registration without using a phone number is still possible, but for this you will have to use a third-party server.

Pinger registration process

Pinger is an international service that can provide non-existent numbers in order to receive SMS. Virtual numbers from the Pinger website can be used to register on pages and sites, also for calls and even exchange video and audio messages. But now it’s important for us to find out how to use the service to link a number to a Vkontakte account.

We go to the site using the link - pinger. com and click on the inscription Textfree web.
Note: For the site to function properly, you must have the latest version of Flash Player.

For your convenience, the actions are indicated by numbers.

1) Come up with and write down a user name, which will then become your login and will be used to log into the service;
2) Come up with a unique and secure password, which will also be required when logging in (The main thing is to remember it, and it should not be shorter than six characters);
3) Confirmation of the password you entered earlier;
4) Any free e-mail to which you have access will receive notifications;
5) Indicate your age;
6) Indicate your gender;
7) Enter captcha (distorted image of letters, to protect against bots)
8) After filling out all the lines, click on the arrow.
If the lines are filled in incorrectly or you do not agree with the terms of use and privacy policy of the service, registration will not be possible.

For some time, available numbers will be selected, and then you need to select any mobile phone number to your taste. The zip code column does not need to be touched. Having chosen the number you like, click on the arrow.
Note: Remember that you can only select a number once, and to change the number you will have to register a new account.

After clicking on the arrow, this window should pop up.

Literal translation of the message: Congratulations!

Your new number for receiving SMS is: 1 (408) ***-***

Next, you need to link your G-mail or Facebook account. (You can skip this process.)

Note: If you select G-mail, a window will open in which you need to click - Allow.

All! Your account has been activated!

A page opens, and the current virtual number is located in the upper right corner. New messages with codes or text will appear in the field in the center.
The button with two arrows on the left means “update”; it is useful if the message with the code takes too long.

Registration on VKontatka using a virtual number

After all manipulations with the virtual number have been completed, and registration in the service has been successful, you can begin registering on the Vkontakte social network itself.

First you need to open the start page - vk.com. It should look like this:

Now the start page has been translated and should look like this:
A little different than the Russian version.

Note: Remember that for truly fictitious names in the style of “Kukuruza Kukuruzovna”, “Krasavits Krasivny” and the like, you can easily get blocked by the site administration. Although, I think that you have often come across similar pages where the profile is not filled out at all, and the main photo either contains nothing or the picture is from a third-party site. Of course, according to the rules of the social network, any fakes are prohibited, but not all users would like to share personal information.

We are waiting for the code that should come to our virtual number and then enter it in the last column.
After entering it, all that remains is to come up with a strong password to enter the site, which is also worth remembering.
And the final step is to click the “Login to the site” button, after which you can safely use the social network.

In general, nowadays in almost all countries there are services that, both free and for a fee, give users the opportunity to use virtual numbers to register on websites. After all, not every person has the opportunity to purchase a new SIM card to register a new profile.
For greater reliability, you can use services that issue paid virtual numbers. The price for the services will be small, but you will be sure of reliability.

Video Instructions alternative method

It can happen to anyone: your page was hacked and deleted, you forgot your password or lost your phone. What you definitely shouldn’t do is get upset, because with our help you can restore the page and change the VKontakte password under the new 2017 design.

Let's decide which option for restoring access to VKontakte is right for you. Since the following will be a very long article, and it is not at all necessary to read everything, select the method you are interested in from the table of contents in quick navigation.

Quick navigation:

Restoring a VKontakte page.

The very first thing you should do if you lose access to VK is, of course, to use the instructions from the first person, in this case from the development team.

Check if you have the function pressed Caps Lock on a computer, this is the key on the left of the computer keyboard, it makes all entered characters in uppercase and capital letters. Accordingly, if the password uses lowercase characters, then entering the password will be incorrect. To disable this feature, press the Caps Lock key again and try entering your password again.

The second reason for entering a password incorrectly may be the wrong language selected when entering. As a rule, the password contains English letters, and if you enter them on the Russian keyboard, the password will be incorrect.
To change the language, press two keys simultaneously, Alt + Shift or click on the language icon in the bottom bar.

To ensure that you enter it correctly, you can use the address input line in your browser and after you have written your password correctly there, copy and paste it into the input field. Use the right mouse button to bring up a menu with copy and paste functions.

These were the simplest manipulations when restoring the page, if you are sure that this is not the case, then we will proceed to other recovery methods, do not lose hope, we will definitely help you regain control of the !

Use a different browser!

Often several browsers are installed on the computer, this can be standard Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera or others, for example a browser from Yandex. This method will help you log in without a login and password.

You may be able to log in to one of them if you have not previously logged out of your VKontakte account, or your password was saved there. Naturally, this method is designed more for luck, then we will figure out how to log into VK using other methods.

How to view the saved VKontakte password in the Browser.

For convenience, modern browsers offer to save the entered data, login and password and remember them for subsequent login. VKontakte prompts you to check the box “Someone else’s computer” when you log in. This was done precisely so that your data would not be saved on someone else’s computer.
Let's look at how to view saved passwords in common browsers and restore the page:

Google Chrome

How to view the password and restore the VKontakte page using the Google Chrome browser.

To do this, go to settings, scroll to the bottom of the page and click “advanced”. Next, in the “Passwords and Forms” section, click “Customize.” At the top right, start entering the vk.com address and if the data was previously saved, then at the end of the line, click on the ellipsis, select “Details”, then opposite the password, click on the eye to display it.

Of course, there are some nuances here; to change your password, you need access to receive an SMS or e-mail. But what to do if for some reason this data becomes unavailable? Let's not lose hope and read on...

Another person has the phone number or has lost it.

The problem here is delicate and requires an extraordinary solution.
One option would be to try calling this number and explain the situation. What do they say, your page is linked to this number. If you want to unpin VK, to do this, ask the person to name the numbers that will be sent to him via SMS. Then, as promised, change the number, also known as the login, to which you have access. Of course, not everyone will agree to say anything, but if there are few options, it’s worth a try.

Another option, if the SIM card number is lost, then it may make sense to restore it at the office of the cellular operator. To do this, you need to have your passport and a small amount of money to re-issue a SIM card. This usually takes a little time, everything is done by the manager online.

If the options above do not suit you, then all that remains is to resort to the help of VKontakte support specialists, more on that later...

No number or email - page recovery through support.

https://vk.com/restore?act=return_page&mid=76889766

Next, you will be asked to enter your current phone number and take a photo in the background of your page to which you have lost access. Upload the photo to your computer and then send it to support; the verification will be done manually.

Next, take a photo of your passport unfolded; the photo must be of good quality. If your page did not contain your real first and last name, then upon successful restoration they will be changed to the real ones from the document.

Leave your comment when and under what conditions you lost access. I don’t think you will remember the specific date, write the approximate date, you can indicate the reason, for example, that your phone was stolen.

As it is written in one of the blogs on this topic, specialists do not eat their bread for nothing and are obliged to help you gain access to your VKontakte page, another thing is that this will take quite a lot of time, since there are a huge number of people who want to get help.

Reasons for refusal to restore the page by the support service.

It often happens that you may be denied restoration, the reasons may be:

Insufficient data, such as unreadable photos or you provided a non-existent phone number.
You are trying to restore access to someone else's page by mistake. Carefully make sure that you are asking to gain access to your account.
You have not included the required photographs in full. You need to take photographs against the background of the recovery page and a photo of your document, which could be your passport. Images must not be of low quality, otherwise such applications will be rejected.
Do not fake pictures in editors, such as Photoshop or Paint, this is very easily recognized by support specialists. Such applications will be rejected.
Your page does not contain visible recognition features to identify you, such as photos of you or your real name. If the name is real, then a photo may not be required, just as if the name is not real and you are in the photo, be prepared for it to be changed and brought into line with your data from the document.
Also be prepared to be denied restoration if your page was blocked for violating the site rules. This does not apply to temporary freezes for spam.

How to restore VK access if your image quality is low?

You will not be able to upload poor quality photos for review. If you use it to transfer photos, then it tends to compress the images. Disable compression and then the photos will have their original appearance, without loss of quality.

Settings - General - Move the "Compress photos" slider.

If the reason is not how you transfer the pictures to your computer, the reason is a bad device, an outdated camera, a phone with a camera that has low resolution. Then try to be resourceful, in the truest sense of the word)). There may be someone nearby who can help you and let you use their smartphone camera.

Happy recovery! Continue to use our advice (See).

Someone else remembers that unforgettable spirit of freedom that hovered on the Runet (and on the Internet as a whole). It's no joke, some 8-10 years ago you could easily register on VKontakte without a phone number - just by entering your e-mail! It was a time of rampant trolls, spammers, an era of free thought and lack of control. But it’s 2018: the rules of behavior on the RuNet have changed a lot. Vk.com has also changed. The Russian “mastodon” of the world of social networks now does not allow just anyone to join him. Now, according to the rules, the user is required to confirm the registered account by indicating the phone number to which the SMS will be sent. Is there a “loophole” left through which you can penetrate VKontakte without “exposing” your mobile phone? Let's figure it out.

The relevance of the issue of registering VKontakte without a phone number has not decreased over the past years. For some, this is a business necessity (using many accounts to increase the popularity of groups/people/services/products on the social network). Some people simply don’t want to “shine” their main page (for example, those who like to “inflame” intense social discussions with the prospect of running into rudeness or getting banned). The goals may be different, but everyone has one thing in common: the reluctance to purchase a new SIM card in your name every time for each account you create. That’s why the Runet is filled with reviews of various methods of creating VKontakte pages without indicating a mobile phone of varying degrees of archaism and incapacity. Let's be honest with you - checking the mass of free and shareware services took us more than one hour when preparing this review. And all with the same result.

One of the first “working” methods was registration through Facebook (who would have thought - competitors, it would seem). The essence of the method: open the registration page, click “Continue with Facebook”, enter the username and password for your Facebook account and...

It requires a phone, which means the method has stopped working.

If so, then we urgently need an alternative solution. And the most popular method on the Internet at the moment is the use of virtual numbers with the ability to receive and send SMS. There are a large number of services that provide such opportunities. There are foreign Internet resources that offer to use US and Canadian numbers (much less often – Australian, Belgian or some European numbers). There are also Russian analogues, which also provide access mainly to American and Canadian numbers. The advantage of such online resources is that they give you the numbers to use for free, you don’t need to go through the registration procedure. Minus - in 99 cases out of 100 you will come across a number that will be “cut off” when registering on VKontakte, for completely different reasons.

List of sites where we personally tried our luck:

http://smsget.net/ru/

In fact, there are dozens of similar services. Their functionality is the same. You simply copy the number presented on the site, try to use it in the VKontakte registration form as a mobile number for confirmation. If VKontakte accepts a number and reports that you have sent an SMS to it, then all that remains is to return to the site, get to the page for this number and sit and wait for a notification with a code, updating the page with the virtual number every few seconds.

You will need to “monitor” something like this for some time:

And now about the result: let’s just say there was no result. Not a single number, which vk.com initially perceived as correct. SMS messages with other people’s (or allegedly other people’s) messages simply did not arrive in this “footcloth”! From which the conclusion follows: either on these websites with virtual numbers everything is “fabricated” - just a deception, or VKontakte turns out to be too smart and only pretends to send a verification SMS to the entered number. On one of the forums it was stated that vk.com is indeed very suspicious of American, British and Canadian numbers, which means it can reject them in a manner that is not obvious to the user.

Yes, you are not the only one looking for how to get on VKontakte without providing a phone number! On the other side of the barricades they are also actively “digging” in this direction, but with opposite goals. Surely VKontakte has specially trained people (or smart services) capable of online monitoring the appearance of such virtual numbers and entering them into the VKontakte blacklist. But! Yes, there is this very “But”. Apparently, even the smart people on VKontakte have flaws. Because some virtual numbers clearly allowed some of the efficient users to go through the registration procedure!

What conclusion follows from this? The method of using publicly available virtual numbers to register on VKontakte without a phone (your own, of course) works. But to successfully “complete the mission” you must have at least one of two things: either luck pumped up to 146%, or an incredibly huge amount of time with no less enormous perseverance.

Perseverance is guaranteed: if you try to “brute force” a field with a phone number, VKontakte soon realizes that the matter is dirty and simply starts writing something like “this number cannot be accepted.” This can only be corrected by restarting the browser window and repeating the initial registration stage (entering first name, last name, gender, etc.). All this turns into a slightly tedious game with low chances of success...

An alternative to free sites is paid services with registration. On them you can rent numbers, including Russian ones, for a specific purpose (at least, this is stated on the sites themselves).

The first paid services that came up in the search:

https://onlinesim.ru/sms-receive
https://smska.net
https://sms-reg.com/
https://5sim.net/

In fact, there are also about a dozen similar sites in RuNet alone. We didn’t dare to buy anything with them - firstly, the task was to register on VKontakte without indicating a phone number for free(this requirement is not automatically fulfilled in the case of specified resources). And secondly, among such Internet services there are many fraudulent ones, and it’s more expensive for you to show your payment details on them. However, if the second argument doesn’t scare you, you can try your luck :) And don’t forget to indicate in the comments whether this experience led to a successful result.

The third category of resources that should be mentioned are reputable organizations providing IP telephony services with a shareware service for allocating a personal virtual number. Why shareware? Because they have a so-called trial mode (limited either by time of use or by functionality), during which the service is provided to you for free. You have the right to then honestly pay the company for removing these trial restrictions.

https://www.twilio.com/- an incredibly sophisticated interface, also in English. But the functionality, if you look at it, is enormous.
https://sonetel.com/ru/- a reputable company, Russian interface.
https://www.esendex.co.uk/— serious service from a serious company, in English.
https://www.proovl.com/— a concise site where everything is clear.
https://textfree.us– does not quite fit into the specified framework of shareware services. The fact is that it is free, in general. Why is he here? Because it is authoritative, foreign and provides a personal number. And also because it allowed some users to successfully register on VKontakte without indicating their own phone number. In confirmation - a video review from blogger Andrey Starunov:

Let's be honest: in 2018, we personally use this method from 2017 didn't work. Well, apparently my luck somehow let me down. Because the users who noted in the comments succeeded in something. At least there are clearly more positive responses than 1%. Try this service, maybe it will work? Well, if not, then the fears expressed somewhere on the RuNet that VKontakte support “blocked” the possibility of registration from American mobile phones will finally receive confirmation.

Let's summarize. Yes, the review ends here, without leaving you with a simple, 100% working solution for registering with vk.com without “exposing” your mobile... You won’t believe it - we ourselves are upset. But there’s no time for you :) We hope that we have opened up a whole field for experimentation for you by introducing you to the Internet resources whose addresses are set out in the article. All you have to do is try them all out yourself and find a service that will help you register on VKontakte. And, of course, tell the rest of those suffering by leaving a comment on this review. We believe that through collective efforts a working solution will be found!
