Social networks have long become another way for people to communicate. Now they are much more popular than email services. Accounts in them are used for both entertainment and work. VKontakte is one of the most famous social networks, which is used by tens of millions of people every day. And the ability to register on this network can be useful to everyone, both for communication or access to useful services, and for work needs.

Features of registration on the VKontakte network

The service has a number of rules that must be followed when registering an account. There is no need to list all the rules; you will become familiar with them in the process, but a number of features must be indicated.

  • When registering, you will be asked to enter your first and last name - no one will check you right away, so you can enter any data as long as it sounds plausible. But at the same time, in case of controversial situations with your account, it may be necessary to confirm the data using your passport. That is, registration can be done anonymously, but this is prohibited by the rules and if you attract the attention of the site administration in any matter, such registration can harm you, because you will not be able to confirm your identity.
  • There is a way not to enter a first or last name at all when registering - to do this, just enter this.disabled=true; document.regMe.submit(). After this, an empty field will appear in place of your data. But do not forget about the already mentioned problems with the site administration, which are also possible in this case.
  • The VKontakte website does not limit the age of registration of users - but still there is a lot of unsafe information for children. Keep an eye on your child. If we consider the restrictions under the law, then the very fact of accepting the user agreement can be legally correct from the age of six (as a small household transaction). For the actions of a minor child online, his parents are responsible.
  • When registering, you should enter your phone number - the phone number is used both as a login on the site and to confirm your account. Entering someone else's phone number is highly discouraged - this will make it very difficult to restore your account in the future. However, there are also some tricks here, which will be discussed in the corresponding section of this article.

Reasons why you cannot register

There are not many reasons why registration cannot be carried out. We list the main ones:

  • if VKontakte is not supported or blocked in your region - due to local laws, the site may not be available for free registration. For example, in countries where Internet access is severely limited or specifically VKontakte is blocked, registration can become a difficult task;
  • legal restrictions on registration - in rare cases, a person may be prohibited from registering and using this social network. In this case, of course, he should not register;
  • other reasons are only user errors during registration - this can include omission or incorrect filling out of data forms, as well as entering a phone number from which the user cannot confirm his registration. Otherwise, registration is available to everyone free of charge.

If, when registering on VKontakte, requests appear to pay money or send an SMS message, you have landed on a fake site and now scammers are trying to deceive you. Don't fall for such tricks.

How to register on VKontakte - description of methods with instructions

The VKontakte registration process itself involves filling out a number of data entry forms. It is performed in the same way both from a computer and from mobile phone. But despite the simplicity of this process, there may also be ways and approaches.

Standard method

The word “Normal” means standard registration using a phone number and without any tricks. It is performed as follows:

  1. After entering the site, you will see a window for logging into the site and a quick registration window. Enter your first name, last name and date of birth in the appropriate forms and click “Register”.

    Enter your first and last name, then click the “Register” button

  2. A window will appear to enter your mobile phone number. You will not be required to send an SMS; on the contrary, it will be sent to you. Enter your number correctly to continue registration. In addition, you cannot use a phone number if a VKontakte account is already registered to this number.

    You will need to confirm your VKontakte registration, to do this, enter your phone number and click “Get code”

  3. After receiving the code, enter it in the verification code window and submit it to the site. If the code is entered correctly, registration will continue. If you did not receive the code, you can request it again after a while.

    Enter the confirmation code that was sent to your phone

  4. A password entry window will then appear. You can come up with any password, but you are required to remember it and at the same time, the password should not be too light, otherwise attackers may gain access to your account.

    Create and remember a password for VKontakte, and then click “Login to the site”

This will complete the creation of your account. But immediately after registration, for normal use of the site, it is recommended to add a number of additional data about yourself:

  1. If the desired section does not remain open after registration, click the arrow next to the photo (or the window under the photo) in the upper right corner of the screen and select “Edit”.

    Click on the arrow next to the photo and select “Edit”

  2. You can fill out the forms you want. Each of the forms will only add information to your page and make it easier for your classmates to find you online, for example.

    The more information about your places of study you enter, the more old friends will find you

  3. When finished, click the "Save" button.

    After you finish entering the data, click the "Save" button

  4. And also you can transfer your friends from other sites. To do this, select the appropriate button with the desired site.

The creation and setup of your VKontakte account is complete.

If you have forgotten your account login information, it is better to recover it using your phone or technical support. Creating identical accounts is problematic and inconvenient, and also contrary to the site rules (in this case, one of the pages may be blocked).

Is it possible to register on VKontakte without a phone number?

There are several ways to register on VKontakte without using your phone number. Unfortunately, not everything is as simple as we would like.

Each of them has its own disadvantages.

  • Just leave the phone form blank - register as usual, but do not enter a phone number. The use of the site with such registration will be very limited - you will not be able to write messages, add anyone as a friend or join communities;
  • Use someone else's number - to register, you can ask someone to tell you the code that will be sent to their number. But do not forget that in the future this may affect the security of your account. The person whose number you use must be reliable, otherwise they can access your page;
  • Use a non-mobile number - you can register using home phone. Confirmation will be a call to it. But in this case, they will not be able to reset your SMS if you forget your login information or are hacked. But on the other hand, any number of accounts can be registered using this method;
  • Use a virtual phone service - there are various services online that allow you to temporarily create phone number and even receive a message on it. This is a very useful method, since using such a number you can even restore your account in the future if there are problems.

Creating a virtual phone in the pringer service

Let's take a closer look at the process of creating a virtual phone for VKontakte registration. You will need to complete the following steps:

  1. Go to the official website of the service and select the Textfree Web section at the top of the screen.
  2. Start the registration process on the site by clicking the sing up free or create account button.

    Click sign ip free to create an account in the pinger service

  3. Enter your details (they will be used to log into your account in the future, so it’s best to write them down).

    Fill out all required forms when registering

  4. Select one of the proposed phone numbers (to correctly determine the region, enter your postcode). Then confirm your choice by pressing the appropriate button.

    Select a number convenient for you to complete registration

  5. Copy your virtual number and use it to register on VKontakte.
  6. An activation code will be sent to your computer, which will allow you to successfully complete registration on the social network.

    Wait until a confirmation code is sent to your virtual number

VKontakte registration via email

The social network VKontakte is constantly developing and changing. And if previously a phone number was not required to be entered, now it is impossible to register without tricks in the absence of a phone number. The opposite is true for email entry requirements. Register on VKontakte using email, is now impossible, although this is exactly how it happened before. But alas, the site, one way or another, will ask for your phone number instead of your email address when you try to register.

Registration via Facebook

For foreign users, VKontakte provides the possibility of simplified registration through Facebook. A telephone number will not be required. So, all that remains is to pretend to be a foreign user for this site:


Features of registration in Ukraine

  • Use built-in VPN browser or plugins - there are dozens of different plugins to bypass such prohibitions. You can name plugins such as friGate or ZenMate. And in Opera browser There's even a built-in VPN service. All this will allow you to bypass the inconvenience and proceed with registration;

    The Opera browser has a built-in VPN service that can be enabled at any time

  • Use the TOR browser - the browser for anonymous access anywhere and everywhere contains enough communication encryption methods to access VKontakte. This method may be more convenient, since you will not need to launch the VPN every time you log into social network;

    Any site will work in the Tor browser, as it provides anonymity and does not reveal your location

  • Using anonymizer sites - the already mentioned chameleon can provide access to VKontakte. But such solutions are not always successful and, in addition, this method somewhat slows down the network connection speed.

    Anonymizers will provide you with access to VKontakte from Ukraine

Reasons not to remain anonymous

Yes, you can indeed register on the site using someone else’s data or using a virtual number. But such registration may have consequences.

  • Your data can confirm your identity in case of hacking or if you want to change it - if you provided false data, you will not be able to prove to the moderators that it is you. For example, when changing your last name, you will be asked for a photo of your passport next to you and it will not be possible to show it if you entered false data;
  • Your phone number is used both to access the site and to protect it - if you have forgotten your password, it is your phone number that will help you recover it. In addition, it is possible to provide additional protection in the form of confirmation from your phone each time you log into your account. Therefore, it is better to use your phone number and be sure that your page is secure.

But at the same time, moderators themselves do not check every account. This is simply impossible with such a volume of information. Therefore, if you have no reason to contact them, and the data on the page is at least similar to the real ones, you will not face negative consequences and can remain anonymous as long as you like.

Creating an account on the VKontakte social network is not at all difficult. By updating your page after registration and adding data to it, you will surely find many friends and useful connections. But if you want the page to serve you for a long time and be protected, it is better to use real data and your phone number. In this case, you will not be afraid of either scammers or loss of account data.

The question of how to register in VK without a phone number can arise for many reasons: someone is afraid for their anonymity, someone does not have the opportunity to purchase new SIM card, and the old number is already in use. Whatever it is, after reading this article you will know how to do it.

How to register in VK without a phone

Unfortunately, all methods of registration without a phone at all have long ceased to be relevant, but there is still the possibility of not using your own number.

For example, it used to be possible to register on VK via email, but in 2012, the leaders of the social network decided to close this option. It was also once possible to enter a number landline phone with the city code and activating the call to phone function, after which the received code was entered. The essence of the method was that this could be done an unlimited number of times. Excessive exploitation of this bug led to the fact that up to several thousand profiles were registered for one number, from which spam was constantly sent. And this hole was also closed.

VKontakte is actively fighting against fake accounts, and therefore every year the registration rules become more complicated, forcing users to provide more and more personal data. Fortunately, you can use some ways to bypass the current registration system.

Using a SIM card that is not registered to you

The first and easiest way is to register with the number of a person you know who does not use VK, for example, one of your older relatives. This method is used by schoolchildren who are unable to purchase a SIM card in their own name, as well as by criminals who en masse use numbers registered to dummies. If the first option is absolutely harmless, then the latter can be criminally punishable.

The option when someone's number is used to break the law, although it may temporarily protect the attacker, however, in the end, both participants will suffer. First, law enforcement agencies will pay attention to the formal owner of the number, and then they will find the one who was actually engaged in criminal activity on the network. This is important to emphasize, since the likelihood that this article a user with not the most harmless intentions will come across, quite high.

It is also worth noting that using a VKontakte account without an associated mobile number (applies to accounts previously registered without using it) imposes restrictions in the form of the need to enter a captcha when sending each message. In addition, the absence of a linked phone number does not allow you to restore your account if you lose your password or the page is blocked.

Login with Facebook

Registration via Facebook is now available without the need to change your IP to a foreign one, but we were unable to find out if this works for everyone, so if you cannot find the “Continue with Facebook” buttons, use a VPN or a browser extension with similar functionality (Frigate , For example).

Naturally, in this case, a Facebook page is required, but this social network is equipped with more simple algorithm registration via email, which does NOT require entering a mobile phone number.

Unfortunately, Facebook also suffers from an abundance of spammers, so its management is also going to tighten the registration procedure by prohibiting registration without using a mobile phone, but for now the existing loophole can be used.

Using a virtual number

There are a large number of services on the Internet that provide virtual number services. Their essence is to provide the client with a phone number to which they can receive SMS online. Such services can be either paid or free and do not require any registration.
But if you use free services, you most likely will not be able to register for VK without a number, since there are a lot of people who want it, and the system does not allow you to register with the same number many times in a row. So you will either have to pay a small amount for a paid service, or look for a free and not particularly well-known site, hoping for luck.
Today, using online confirmation is the only way to register on VKontakte without using your phone number or another person's SIM card.

Thus, registering a VKontakte account without a phone number in 2018 is in fact impossible, but you can always use workarounds.

Question from a user

Hello.

Is it possible to register on the VKontakte network without indicating your phone number? The thing is that I don’t receive an SMS with an activation code (the operator says that everything is fine with the network; the phone was also checked in the workshop).

For the sake of simple registration on the site, changing your number is somehow frivolous (I already have a lot of contacts on my phone and I don’t want to lose them all)...

Victor.

Good day!

To be honest, I myself only had to deal with a couple of times when SMS did not arrive at all - and, after contacting the operator, everything began to work as normal (and even then, this was about 15 years ago, when cell phones were just starting to enter mass circulation ). Nevertheless, I admit that in our country everything is possible...

In this article I will give several ways on how you can register in this social network. network, if you have a problem with receiving SMS to your number (like the author of the article), or you don’t want to send it to your number so as not to receive tons of spam.

Important!

VK needs a phone number to increase the security of access to your page. If your mobile number is not specified during registration, difficulties may arise if your page is blocked or hacked.

In any case, with this registration option, I recommend not to keep very personal data on the page, and not to conduct correspondence that compromises you. Those. do only what you are not ashamed to show to everyone, and what will not harm you if someone else sees your entries...

Also, a phone number is needed for support. mobile network VK (if you register without it, you will not be able to use it normally).

Methods for registering in VK, without a regular mobile phone

By using Online service Sim (paid method, but cheap)

A specialized site for obtaining temporary mobile numbers for registration on some services (i.e., you receive a virtual mobile number specifically for completing your task). The service is paid, but the cost of service is symbolic...

First, you need to register on the service, top up your internal wallet with the amount required for registration (currently only 19 rubles for VK, 3 rubles each for OK and Facebook). And then you will be provided with a number, which should be indicated when registering in VK (see screenshot below)

The service is simple, fast, with a friendly interface. You can top up your internal wallet in dozens of ways (there shouldn’t seem to be any difficulties).

Using the website SMS (free + paid methods)

Available on this service as free virtual mobile numbers, and paid - you can rent for 3 hours, for 1 day or for a week. The price is more than affordable (only 60 rubles for 3 hours).

Regarding toll-free numbers: they are often unavailable, VK reports that there have already been registrations for them. Therefore, I would not put much faith in this free...

Using 5 SIM service (paid)

Another similar service that provides an online mobile number for a small fee. By the way, everything is available on this service mobile operators and all popular sites (see side menu on the left).

The service will be very helpful when your number does not receive an SMS from the desired site, or you do not want to show your number (for example, you are afraid to get hooked on the subscription).

5SIM - main page of the service

Using the universal service SMS-REG.com (paid, cheap)

The service is somewhat similar to the previous ones: you can also get a temporary number for registering on social media. networks. But! There is also a function for renting a virtual number for a certain period. Moreover, it will be possible to use it in any country and city (i.e. not even in Russia, Ukraine, etc.) where there is Internet. It can be very helpful when you go to another country and don’t know whether there will be work there at all Russian operator connections...

SMS-REG is a universal service that helps you register on social media. networks and rent mobile numbers

With T ext Free (free)

This is a free international service that simplifies communication using text information. Here you can get an international mobile number, which is quite suitable for registering on social media. networks. By the way, you can log in to this service using your Twitter or Facebook account.

Other free services(list)

There are quite a lot of services, like the previous one. In general, I must immediately say that free services have one big drawback: all the numbers in them (almost 90-95%) are either already used for registration in many places, or half of the SMS do not arrive to them. Therefore, I still recommend using the paid virtual numbers recommended above.

  • - several numbers are provided: Russia, Ukraine, Great Britain, etc.;
  • - only a few rooms are available, but the service is working!
  • http://receivefreesms.com/ - 2 dozen numbers available from different countries;
  • - you can choose a virtual number from almost any country in the world!
  • - simple service, numbers from Canada and the USA (free);
  • - 5-6 countries available with different numbers(numbers change frequently);
  • - There are both paid and free numbers. Service in Russian;
  • - the service is paid, but there is a free trial access. To register for one time, it should be enough...

Via Facebook (free)

For users from other countries (not from Russia) - it is possible to log in to VK using a social account. Facebook network (and to register in it you only need an e-mail). This means that if you have a Facebook account, you can log in to VK (the logic is brilliant).

In order to log into the VK website as a user from another country, you need to use some kind of anonymizer. For example, (one of the most popular).

Note: many users notice that this method It works every other time - sometimes everything goes as normal, sometimes VK still asks for a number. It is possible that the anonymizer does not always work correctly...

Using your home phone (free)

You can register in VK using a regular landline phone. When registering, you just need to indicate the number in international format, then ask VK for the robot to call you and dictate the code.

The method works quite well, but there is one significant drawback - it is problematic to subsequently restore access to the account if it is hacked or blocked. However, all the options listed above also have this disadvantage.

That's all, actually, additions are welcome...

Registration conditions

Firstly, to register you will need personal information: last name, first name, phone number and age. This is mandatory information, there is also additional information - place of study, residence, interests, etc., but it is not necessary to indicate it. No one will check how truthfully you filled out the fields, so you can register under a pseudonym and take any age. Officially, registration on the social network is permitted for persons over 13 years of age.

Secondly, to create an account, you will need a phone number in any case. Registration by email is not possible. The only official alternative is to log in via Facebook. But to get a Facebook account, you will also need a phone number.

There is a way to register without a phone: get a virtual one number provided by a specialized service and use it for registration.

In what cases can you not create an account?

Problems with creating an account can arise in two cases:

  • Data to confirm your identity, that is, a captcha or code sent to the specified phone number, was entered incorrectly. In this case, it is enough to re-enter the information, this time without an error.
  • An attempt is made to register a page to a number that already contains another page. There are two ways out of this situation: replace the number, that is, use a SIM card for which an account has not yet been registered, or delete the page to which the number used is linked, and then repeat the registration process. If you choose the second option and confirm that you are the owner specified number, then old Account will be deleted and cannot be restored.
    The number is already linked to another page

    Since 2017, the VKontakte website has been banned in Ukraine, as a result of which access to it is blocked. But this limitation can be circumvented by connecting a VPN.
