How to see friends' phone numbers in VKontakte - life hack

Let's find out how to find out the phone number of the owner of the page you like on VK, because everyone knows that all profiles today are linked to a mobile phone. However, not everything is so simple - most VK users prefer to hide this information from their visitors. But we are not used to giving up and we know very well that “if you suffer for a long time, something will work out”? Here we present as many as 5 ways in which you can find out someone else’s phone number, however, not all of them are safe, honest and fast.

We will definitely warn you about all the pitfalls! So, let's start figuring out how to find out a phone number through VK - remember and act!

By page ID

We specifically started with this method because many sites for studying the VKontakte social network offer it. We don’t know for what purpose they misinform their readers, but we responsibly declare that it is impossible to find out a phone number by VKontakte ID!

is a universal identification number that is assigned to each profile, and it is not at all identical to the mobile number. In other words, they are not the same and are not tied to each other in any way.

There are online services that promise to provide the necessary information after entering the VK profile ID in the appropriate field. True, you will have to register there or log in using your own VK login and password. You are not guaranteed to get any results, and expect a hack in the near future. Or, don’t be surprised if you find that a dozen fake VK accounts with your photos will appear online.

Let’s finally close this topic and the question “how to find out a person’s phone number in VK by ID” will not be raised anymore. Instead, let's turn to real ways.

By the way, keep in mind that VK allows you to solve the inverse problem: how to find a page on a social network if you know a phone number.

How to Hide Certain Messages, Calls and Contacts on Android Phone

Personal data privacy is a concern for many. There is a possibility that a thief or simply a curious person may gain access to your phone with the intention of finding out information about your calls, contact list, correspondence, etc. If the above problem is relevant to you, then I recommend paying attention to the interesting and high-quality Text & File Hider Plus application. This program is designed to hide messages, phone calls, contacts and files of various types from prying eyes. At the same time, the application itself is well camouflaged, posing as a simple temperature and battery charge informer. That is, on top of that, you also get fully functional battery monitoring. So, let's look at the application in more detail. Text & File Hider Plus is distributed free of charge.
The program interface is very simple, and therefore will be intuitive to any user. Possible difficulties can only be experienced by those who do not understand the English language at all, even at an elementary level (which in today’s time is generally unforgivable). But I hope that thanks to this review we will overcome this barrier. When you first launch it, you will see a welcome window thanking you for installing this application. Click “Get Started”

You will then need to set a password ( PIN ). You can use numbers and letters, the maximum number of characters is 9. I especially recommend not to get wrapped up, put, for example, any set of numbers that you remember - two - three digits (in the future, this password can be changed in the settings at any time). Click “Save”

In the next window, click “Continue”

All that remains is to enter your email ( e-mail ) in case you forget the password you set. Enter it in the field and click “Save” , or you can skip this action by clicking the “Later” .

At this point, the main setup stage is completed and you will be immediately redirected to the application login window. Enter the password you set.

You will be asked to take a quick introductory tour of working with the program ( “Get Started” ) or start working with it immediately ( “No Thanks” ).

From now on, you can hide, edit and generally have access to hidden data only through the Text & File Hider Plus interface. In normal mode they will no longer be visible on the phone.

In the list of widgets on your phone you will see a new application icon of a certain Battery Plus in the form of a battery

If you receive a new message from a hidden contact, it will be red, if there is a call, it will be yellow.

For convenience, move this widget anywhere on your desktop. If you click on it, then for even greater secrecy, a regular window will open informing you about the status of your phone battery.

If you click “Ok” , the window will simply close. In order to enter the program, you need to be in this open window by pressing and holding the battery image for a few milliseconds, after which a window for entering a password will open. Enter the password you set there and you will be taken inside the program.

When you enter the program, you will see 6 icons providing various functions.

MESSAGES/CALL LOG

Lists of outgoing/incoming calls and SMS messages with subscribers you have hidden are stored here.

To send a message, click “New Message” , and to delete everything, click “Clear All”

FILES

This will contain files and images that you will hide through Explorer or from the gallery.

You can create new folders to sort files by them (Create Folder) , copy (Copy) , cut (Cut) , delete (Delete) and paste (Paste) certain files.

CONTACTS

Contacts that you have hidden are stored and edited here.

To add the desired contact to the hidden list, click “Add Contact” . A new window will open.

Enter the name of the contact ( Name ) and number ( Number ) you want to hide. If you want to hide calls with him, then check the box “ Hide Calls ”, for SMS messages “ Hide texts ”.

“ Display the following notifications text or call received” – show this message if you receive a message or call from a hidden contact. I think everything is clear here. Comfortable. Check this box if you want to see a signal about such actions. You can change the notification text to any other one or leave it at default: Battery Plus – Warning Level (translated into Russian, this inscription notifies that there is supposedly little battery charge left).

You don’t have to manually enter a contact, but select it from the phone list ( Pick From Contacts )

Click on the desired contact and hold briefly so that it appears in the editable list or specify icons that hide calls and messages from it, respectively. Then “Add Contact”

CAMERA

If, when using your phone camera, you know in advance about the necessary privacy of future photos, then open the CAMERA function directly from this application. All captured pictures and videos will automatically be hidden and placed in the FILES section.

BROWSER

This is a simple private browser that leaves no cache. history and other data that is usually used to track what pages a person visits on the Internet.

Via VK profile

To find out a friend’s phone number in VK, if he has not hidden it, just go to his start page and reveal detailed information.

• Log in to the desired VK account;
• To the right of the main avatar there is a link “Show detailed information”. Click on it;

• If the numbers are not hidden from prying eyes, you will see them.

When filling out information about themselves, each user sets privacy settings. For example, after entering a phone number, he can click on the lock icon to the right of the input field and select “visible to friends” or “friends of friends.” Or indicate selected people who should not see the numbers.

VK users are not required to fill out the mobile number field, so many leave it blank.

Yandex.People

This Russian search engine service allows you to find a person’s profile using specified data on popular social networks. The more information you provide when performing a search, the fewer extraneous profiles you will have to look through.

The method does not guarantee that the required data will be found, but it is very effective. For example, there may be an account on Instagram where a person is engaged in trading and in order to communicate with clients he simply must provide a phone number. Let us describe the search procedure step by step:

• Go to the page https://yandex.ru/people?lr=213.
• In the top line, enter the first and last name of the person whose profile should be found.
• Please provide additional information below: age, place of residence, study, work. Attention! This data can either help in the search by reducing the number of results, or hinder it - if the account you are looking for does not contain the information specified in the search, it simply will not appear in the results.
• By default, the search is performed on Instagram, VKontakte and Odnoklassniki. To expand your search area, hover over “More” and select other social networks.
• Click on the “Find” button.
• Pages that match the information you provide will be displayed.
• Now you can open accounts one by one and see whether a mobile phone number is linked to them or not.

Reference. In order not to experience restrictions when viewing profiles on other social networks, you need to register with them. This is due to the fact that many users deny access to their page to visitors who do not have an account on a particular site.

Through profiles from other social networks

To find out the phone number of a page in VK using a link from a profile on Instagram, Odnoklassniki, Facebook or Skype, you first need to find these accounts.

By the way, you yourself can make a link to Instagram in your profile. This is especially important for those who plan to monetize their page.

1. Go to the online service Yandex.People;
2. Enter the first and last name of the person you want;
3. Click "Search";
4. Study the results.

Is it possible to find out the phone number on VKontakte in this way - yes, but only if it is listed there. For example, if a person runs a business on social networks, his contacts will probably be on his Instagram profile. If he has a community on Facebook, there will most likely be ways to contact him as an administrator.

By the way, as a rule, a social network account is linked to Instagram in order to duplicate content automatically. So you can go to the desired profile from your VK page.

Be prepared to spend a lot of time trying to find out about all the accounts of the wanted person, as well as studying them.

How to check if a number is registered?

The easiest way to figure out whether a certain phone is linked to pages on a social network. To get the information you need, all you need to do is:

1. open the Vk start page;
2. start creating a new profile (registration);
3. enter the required mobile number.

If it is already in use, the system will report this. If the number is free and a new page is not required, you should simply interrupt the process.

At the same time, it is impossible to find out who is using the phone you are interested in. Even if a friend’s profile is linked to this cell phone, you won’t be able to get the desired information on your own.

Through job search sites, freelance sites

Have you ever looked for a job on HeadHunter? 95% of people now nodded, and the other 5% noted that they have profiles on 3 more similar sites. Today, absolutely all people use the Internet to search for a suitable job. Many people try to learn freelancing by filling out accounts on popular sites.

Sometimes you can look up a phone number on VK on sites where a person has left contact information about himself. It is unlikely that in his own profile he hid his phone number from strangers and potential employers. True, on many sites you will have to register as an employer.

• Go to any search engine and enter the full name of the desired person in the search field;
• Additionally, you can add “CV” or “resume”;

• If the user has recently updated his data, there is a chance that his profile will pop up in the search results;

• Or, try to find out directly through www.headhunter.com, www.linkedin.com or other popular job search and freelance sites.

How to find a phone number from a photo

Let’s assume that a VK user has protected himself from overly curious people and has blocked access to contacts by definition. Don't despair, this is not our path. If the “avatar” displayed on VK is a real photo of the user, then all is not lost. The algorithm of actions is as follows:

• Copy a photo of the person you are looking for.
• Using any search engine, use the search by photo function.
• Usually all the social networks where this person is still registered appear - this could be Skype, Instagram, Telegram, Facebook, etc.
• Follow the link to the indicated pages and try to find contact information there.

Third Party Applications

Do not believe promises that you can find out someone else’s phone number from VK using third-party applications, programs or services. Even if you don’t run into scammers whose only goal is your secret login information, it means they will be hackers whose activities are illegal.

Such services will not be cheap, and you may well be scammed by receiving money and not fulfilling your obligations.

Never download paid applications or send SMS to other people’s numbers in order to “supposedly” activate the program. Trust our experience, and it is very considerable, not a single third-party application will help you recognize someone else’s phone.

How to find out what number a page is registered to by id?

Users who encounter difficulties should think more seriously about which SIM card they used, since there is not a single way to find out using the social network. It will not be possible to cope with difficulties even by id, since such information does not have serious practical value in this case.

Getting the required information and contacting support will not help. Consultants and operators do not have the right to provide such information and will not be able to clarify whether the number is registered. The exception is when they are contacted by the owner of a SIM card who wants to link it to an account.

If it is already being used by a stranger, the applicant will have to prove that he is the real owner of the SIM card. Only then will the operators be able to help.

Ask in correspondence

As you know, the shortest path between points “A” and “B” is a straight line. Sometimes it’s easier to write to a person asking for a phone number than to look for traces of his activities on the Internet. Think over the message - in it you must give your opponent a clear and adequate reason why you are trying to find out his number.

Write directly that you want to communicate, tell him that, judging by his photos, you have similar interests, find a reason to ask about something from his professional activities. Once the conversation starts, ask for a phone number so you can communicate in person. If you act carefully and delicately, most likely you will be able to find out his mobile phone.

How to find out your phone number to which the page is linked

You can find out the phone number of a VK user linked to a page only if you are that same user. In other words, you don’t need someone else’s phone, but your own. Let's say you forgot which mobile phone you linked your profile to.

• Go to your VK start page;
• Click on the small avatar in the upper right corner;
• Select “Settings”;

• Go to the “General” tab (in the right column);

• Scroll to the line “Phone number”;

You will see a combination hidden by asterisks; only the last 2 digits will be available. Use them to remember which mobile phone you linked your account to. There is no other way, unless you are ready to reset the data and link to another number (to do this, click on the “Change” button).

Thus, we have given you as many as 5 working methods by which you can find out the mobile phone to which the profile of someone else’s user is linked. As you can see, they are all based on searching for any available information about a person. Except for one, which involves a personal request. This is exactly what we recommend to you!

How to find out a phone number in VK: all methods

At the beginning of the emergence of the social network VK, user identification took place using electronic mailboxes. This option did not provide adequate protection for profiles, which is why the decision was made to switch to telephone verification of page owners. From that moment on, it became more difficult to find out the phone number of a VK user, because this data was classified as confidential. The exception is cases when a person does not hide this information and posts it freely on his profile.

If the data is closed, it will not be possible to hack the database or retrieve the necessary information. But there are still a number of workarounds:

1. On some pages, users provide the required data, but leave out the last two digits. To find out someone else's phone number in VK, you need to start the recovery procedure. In this case, the system displays the first and last two characters. The downside is that to conduct such a check you need to know the person’s mailbox.
2. Buy an account or create a fake page to get the information you need. Before this, study the person’s interests so that correspondence with a new user really interests him. For example, if a user is actively looking for work, you can act as an employer and offer employment. In the future, finding out the phone number, knowing the VK profile, will not be difficult. We can say that the information is necessary for further communication when a vacant position arises. Employment is only one of the available excuses. In practice there can be many of them.
3. Connect your friends. To find out the phone number for your VKontakte account, contact the friends of the user you are interested in. During the correspondence process, you can obtain the necessary data. Again, you need to come up with an excuse or go straight ahead and offer a financial reward. Here you need to show your imagination and make sure that your friend does not suspect a trick or evil intentions on the part of the petitioner.
4. Obtaining information on other services. Alternatively, you can look up the VKontakte phone number using other services. To obtain additional information, it is enough to have at hand the first name, last name and other data about the person. Perhaps you can find out your phone number on another site, and it is not covered by privacy settings.
5. Creating a fake website. This is the most labor-intensive method aimed at collecting information from one or several profiles at once. To find out a phone number using a VK link, make an Internet resource that allows you to fill out several fields (including the data of interest). After that, send the URL to this page to the user and wait for him to fill out the questionnaire. The main difficulty is to interest a person. Lately, people have become more suspicious and are trying not to give away confidential information left or right. As in the cases discussed above, you can use the excuse of a well-paid job. This theme almost always works.
6. Direct communication. If you need to find out a friend's phone number on VK, there is no point in beating around the bush. Just write him a message and ask for his phone number. Explain why you want to know this information and how you will use it. For example, say that you urgently need to discuss a topic, and doing this through regular messages is not very convenient. If you are a friend of a person, and he knows you, he is unlikely to refuse such a service.

There are often recommendations on the Internet on how to find out a phone number by VKontakte ID. You can't do this the usual way. In all situations, you must use custom JS code. We won’t dwell on this, because we are talking about hacking and the user having certain knowledge. Even if the profile is hacked, you can only find out part of the number, because the main numbers will be hidden. That's why it's better to avoid dishonest hacking methods.
