How to quickly register in VK without a phone number

The social network VKontakte is the most popular platform for communication on the RuNet. In addition to correspondence with each other, there are other useful features:

1. Listening to music;
2. Applications;
3. Managing your communities and promoting your business;
4. A pleasant pastime (useful or not, it’s up to you to decide).

And many other advantages that can be obtained from any social network. Without a doubt, there is a “fat” drawback - uselessness and waste of time. Yes, in most cases this is true, but not always. Everyone decides for themselves whether to use VKontakte or delete the page forever. Some people do business and earn income, while others read memes from public pages, whose administrators also receive money from advertisers.

Those who want to create a VK page again without a phone number and engage in useful activities or waste their time, read on.

Why do you need a phone number to register VK?

And it doesn’t matter what level of protection you have

It is worth noting that now the mobile phone number is used to reduce the load on the social network servers. The fact is that previously people registered via mail and a huge number of spam bots automatically created accounts and sent spam.

Is there a way to register VKontakte without a phone?

Of course, there are ways. They are considered a little bypassed for the simple reason that when registering a VK page, it is not your phone number that is used.

Without a verified phone number, you will have a bunch of restrictions, where:

1. Can't send messages to friends.
2. You cannot send friend requests.
3. Constant appearance of captcha.
4. Inability to join communities.

All you can do is listen to music on VK without restrictions. To download audio from Vkontakte, you can use browser extensions or third-party resources.

Where are contacts stored in the phone memory?

All information is stored in a separate folder in a special format. By default, the data is located on the phone's memory. If desired, they can be transferred to a memory card. They are located at: android/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases. The file itself is called contacts.db. To open this file, you must use special utilities, for example, Aryson SQLite Database Recovery. You can find the file using the preinstalled or any third-party file manager.

If you urgently need to move contacts or create a backup copy, you need to go to their storage address and copy the contacts.db file. In the future, you can open it on another smartphone or computer. You can also use the phone's built-in ability to import to a memory card. If your phone has a memory card slot, you can import data into a separate memory, and then use it to further move the information to another phone or for emergency recovery.

How to create a profile on VK using a virtual number

There are a large number of different services to create a virtual phone number. One of them is onlinesim.ru, sms-reg.com and others. After all, all you need is to accept SMS messages to confirm your account. Such a number will cost at least 1 ruble.

Other services, such as Pinger, currently do not allow you to create a VK account without a phone number.

If a message is displayed that this number is not suitable for registering a VKontakte profile, then use other numbers or services.

Now you know how to register on VK without using a phone number. In general, if virtual numbers don’t work out, just buy a normal SIM card, or look for a second-hand SIM card near the metro, train stations and other public places.

So let's note the next important thing. Create a VKontakte account on a virtual phone number only if you do not have business correspondence and you use the profile for everyday communication with friends. If you have important information in your correspondence, be it credit card numbers or some other secret conversations, then get your own SIM card, not someone else’s. The same applies to maintaining groups/pages, where a VK account should be registered only to your number.
