The number has recently been linked to another page. What to do if VKontakte says “This number has been recently used”

03.02.2019

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. linked to a mobile phone number, and not to a mailbox, as was the case before.

On the one hand, this increases security (it is more difficult to hack and steal an account) and simplifies the procedure for restoring access, but on the other hand, it makes life somewhat more difficult for those who do not want to burn their mobile phone number () or want to have several on different accounts.

In this regard, the question quite often arises: is it possible to unlink a number from pages in Contact?

? In principle it is possible, although it is not entirely obvious. By the way, this may be needed in different cases. For example, you could buy a new SIM card and, for some reason, throw away the old one (to which access to Contact was linked), or simply lose it. You may also have two VK accounts and decide to link this particular number to your other account.

Unlinking a number may also be necessary in the case that I already wrote about, when before deleting an account it would be desirable to unlink the number, otherwise it will still remain in the database of this social network.

Do not link the number to the new page, but restore the old one

If you already have a page registered for this number, and you are trying to register a new one, then it is better to restore the old one. The fact is that one issue can only have one page. If you register a second one, the number will be unlinked from the first page and you will not be able to access it. And restoring access will be difficult (or even impossible). This is serious, think about it carefully! Do you want to restore your old page by number right now? Click here: Password recovery, VKontakte access.

And if you deleted an old page, then within a certain time it can be restored. And you don't need to register a new one. See: How to recover a deleted VKontakte page.

Use this number anyway (via the full version of the site!)

If no page is currently associated with the number (when restoring it says: User with this phone number not found

), but VK does not give registration, which means that there was a page on this number recently, and it has not yet become available. VKontakte allows you to link your phone to different pages only a few times. When you tie him to a new one, he gets untied from the old one! You may have one last link left.

If the number is definitely yours and you will still have it, you can remove the error and register the page. Only this should be done not from your phone, but through the full version of the site - from a computer or tablet. It is important that it is through the full version, and not through a mobile phone or an application. If you try to register from your phone, you will only receive an error message and a prompt to enter a different number.

To log into the full version of VK, click here: How to log into the full version of VKontakte. How to use the number, read on.

Attention:

If another page is linked to the number and you still need it, do not link the number to the page you are currently on or registering! You risk losing the previous page. Here is the situation you will find yourself in: Two pages for one VKontakte number. Use a different number.

Example: how to remove the error and use the number

So, you need to register the page to the number that was recently linked. Try to do this in the full version of the VK site. Go to the full version, preferably on a computer or laptop, and start registering. When you enter the number, you will receive a warning: This number has been recently used. The number was recently linked to another VKontakte page. If this is your number and you would like to use it, click here. This is just a warning, but not an error.

At this point, click on the words “click here.”

A window will appear with the last warning:
Each phone number can be linked to VKontakte pages a limited number of times.
so many bindings
left for the number (or the last binding).
Make sure you link the number to your own page. It won't be possible to link it to another page anytime soon. Here's an example of a warning - people don't read it well and understand it even worse:

Many people think that they can create several pages and link the same number to all of them. But no, it works differently. One number - one page. The number will be unlinked from the previous page.

Read carefully, all this applies to you personally and to your number. Are you sure you want to register a new page for this number and lose access to the old one? Then click the “Yes, use number”

- and then you can continue registration.
If you change your mind, click “No, I’ll use another number.”
If the number belonged to someone else (this often happens) and someone else’s page was created for it, look here what to do to unlink the number from it: Someone else’s VKontakte page and my phone number.
The problem is solved in the same way when the number you bought is blocked - What to do if the phone number is blocked on VKontakte.

What to do if you don’t have access to your old number?

In this situation, I recommend using the access recovery form

, which is used to unlock pages after hacking. More details on how to do this are written in the article “”. Read the instructions under number 2.

also try to change your phone number by contacting support.

When registering a page or linking a VK number, it writes: “This number has been recently used”

or

Please enter a different number." What to do? Here are ways to solve the problem.

Unlink a number from another page via support

If all else fails, create a request with support agents.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. linked to a mobile phone number, and not to a mailbox, as was the case before.

In this regard, the question quite often arises: is it possible to unlink a number from pages in Contact?

How to remove a phone number from a page that is not available to you?

To do this, go to the access restoration page https://vk.com/restore. When you find yourself on it, click on the button at the bottom of the page, which directs you to recover lost data. Then enter the link to your account in the required field. You will be redirected to a page where you enter your unavailable phone that you want to unlink, but you will also have to indicate an available number, that is, you will have to attach another phone to replace the old one.

In any case, even if you simply unlink your phone for some reason, and your plans do not include registering your page to another number, it is better to still link your phone to your account. This needs to be done because this will make it easier for you to restore access to it in case of hacking or if you forget the data, or to confirm money transactions. The number is assigned for the safety and comfort of the user.

Situations vary, so it is important to be aware of all sorts of rules of conduct on popular social networks. This article will list several ways to unlink a number from VK.

How to unlink a number from a VK page? First of all, let us note the cases for which this is necessary.

If you do not want your phone number to appear on the Internet, but you need to register several accounts or public accounts on different accounts.
Unlinking a number is desperately needed if you purchased a SIM card and want to get rid of the old card (you have access to it on VK), or the old SIM card is stolen or lost.
You have 2 accounts on this social network, and you want to link this number to the second, removing it from the first.
It is recommended to unlink the number before deleting your account, otherwise it will be listed in the social network database.

How can you unlink a VK page from your phone number?

Starting from 2013, you won’t be able to simply unlink a phone number from your VKontakte account (previously you could do this by specifying Email as the main linking type). That is, now it will not be possible to simply delete your phone number and not offer a new one in return. This is understandable - VK has moved to a high security standard and the entrance to the site is primarily tied to a mobile phone.

However, you can easily change this same number to another, thereby unlinking your page from the old number

, to which you, for example, could have lost access for one reason or another. In general, for starters, it would be nice to understand a few rules that VKontakte moderators and administrators adhere to:

You can use one mobile phone number. Thus, the system is trying to combat spam pages, which many use to cheat and make money, although all this is served under the guise that it is supposedly more convenient for users. Therefore, it will no longer be possible to create a new page for the same number.
However, if you already have another account on this social network
(for example, registered before 2013, when it was enough to link another Email address), then you can link to it the phone number that is already used on your other account in VC.
This will naturally remove the required number
. True, then when you log into such an account (with an unlinked number), you will be strongly advised to link some phone to it so that you will be tortured, but this is the tenth thing.

From the above rules and conditions for working with VKontakte, several conclusions can be drawn at the moment:

Without any problems, you can unlink from the page a number to which you have lost access
(lost your SIM card, threw it away, gave it to someone, etc.). The official method (if access to the old number is not possible) will take you two weeks, and the unofficial (although somewhat risky) method will take you one day.
If you have another account in VK, then the number can be transferred to it, thereby unlinking it from the desired page (there can be a lot of reasons). Here again, certain delays are possible at different steps, but in principle everything is feasible (I’ve done this myself more than once).
The third option in the series - I didn't tell you this.
Spammers still bypass Contact's restrictions on the number of pages registered per person and use various services for this, which can be called a “temporary mobile number” (you will get access to SMS messages sent to it). The number received there can be used to implement the first unlinking option (the official one), thereby deleting the real number and replacing it with a fake one. Of course, this will significantly complicate or make it impossible to restore access to the page, but in some cases it may be necessary to unlink the number just before deleting the page, so as not to leave unnecessary waste later.

Why don't people want to link their mobile phone number to their VK page?

It seems like additional security, the level of protection increases. It is much easier to restore access when you have forgotten your password.
Why then do people not want to link a number to a page? There are several reasons for this: As you can see, there are reasons. Although specific, they are significant.

It is because of this that the question arose: is it possible to unlink a number from a VKontakte page? Answer: YES!

Unbinding may be necessary not only for the following reason: I want to create new akis! It is quite possible that you need to rid VK of this number due to the fact that the SIM card is lost or you need to link the phone number to another page. If something suddenly happened to your SIM card, then try to restore it in your operator’s salon. You will need the passport of the person for whom the registration was made. If you just want, then read one of the articles on the portal.

I almost forgot to mention one important point. Sometimes someone decides to delete a VK page. In this case, it is important to unlink the mobile phone number without fail, since after deleting the page, the number will remain linked to it, which “will deprive it of the ability to link to other accounts.”

Where does the phone number linked to a page in VK change?

The unlinking process itself is implemented on the “My settings” page in the “Your phone number”

. To do this, just click on the “Change phone number” button and enter it in the window that opens.

True, I recently transferred this number from this account to that one (unlinked it), so they offer me to wait a little (about two weeks):

In your case, this message most likely will not appear. Usually everything goes fine and you are informed that by default the number change process will take a couple of weeks

The process can be accelerated using official methods

, if you have access to the old number (just use the appropriate link, and after going through the steps of the wizard, you will get the result much faster). The second way to speed things up is to go through a rather tedious wizard, similar to the one you need to go through when restoring access to your page if it has been lost:

How can you speed up number unbinding by 14 times (without guarantees)

However, there is also an unofficial way to speed up the number unlinking

from your VKontakte page (up to one day), but, firstly, it may no longer work (six months ago it definitely worked), and secondly, it is associated with certain risks (for example, your page may not just be “frozen”, and ban for some long period).

Therefore, everything you do is at your own peril and risk (I wash my hands, as they say).

The essence of the method is to use the Contact bug (logical inconsistency), which allows you, when a page is frozen, to change the number associated with it and immediately unfreeze it. In this case, the old number will be unlinked

from the page not a couple of weeks, but
only one day
. Absurdities that have not yet been fixed (corrected). Although it is possible that by the time you read this post, this cartoon will not work.

First, we will need to make sure that our VK page is “frozen”

. This is not difficult to do. There is an exchange of likes, the mention of which on the VKontakte website is taboo and entails the immediate freezing of the page where this link appeared (thus, they are trying to combat the spread of spam and spammy methods of promoting pages on their social network). Just leave this link on your wall:

Literally a minute after clicking the “Send” button, you can refresh it in the browser, after which you will see a message about temporary freezing:

But we needed this whole circus just so that at the very bottom of this window we could use the “Specify another number”

. Actually, it is entered in the adjacent field after clicking on this button, and after clicking on the “get code” button located below, you will see a message stating that another phone number is already linked to this page and a question about whether you are really want to destroy this whole idyll by untiing your mobile phone:

Next, enter the confirmation code sent to your new number. After this, you will also be asked to come up with a new password for your account. All. Now all that remains is to click on the “Unfreeze Wanderer”

On the next page you will be asked to take a short sanity test. But this is not the main thing, but what will be written at the very top:

Those. With this kind of trick with our ears (freezing - unfreezing the page) we achieved fourteen times faster unbinding of the old number and binding of the new number

, which is very significant and can be very useful for someone. But I repeat - the method is not one hundred percent working, so everything you do remains on your conscience, but bribes from me are smooth...

Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

Instructions

First, make sure your page has been linked to an email address. To do this, go to your page (https://vk.com) and in the “My Settings” section, select the “Alerts” tab. At the bottom of the tab you will see an entry for “Email Alerts”. Check whether the e-mail for notifications is indicated there (if the page is not linked to an e-mail address, you will not be able to unlink the phone number).

After this, you will receive a message by phone with a code that you must enter in a special field in the “Switch off notifications” window. If the SMS does not arrive within 15 minutes, request the code again by clicking on the appropriate link, or try again later.

After deleting your phone number, in order to access the page, you must enter the email address to which your page is linked as your login. However, when using a page without a linked number, there is one not very pleasant moment: you will constantly receive reminders about linking a phone number.

You can unlink the number before deleting the page (simply deleting it is not enough, since the number will remain attached to it), or link it to another page or use it when registering on the VKontakte social network.

You can also change the previous mobile phone number listed on your page if you have access to it. To do this, go to the “My Settings” section, select the “General” tab and in the “Your phone number” item, where the current number is displayed, click “Change phone number”. Then enter the new number in the window that appears.

After this, two numbers (old and new) will receive an SMS with a confirmation code. The phone number will change after entering the codes on the VKontakte page.

how to change phone number in Sberbank

Users of social networks know that they require a mobile phone number to be linked. Unfortunately, the old SIM card may be lost or the number may be blocked, which makes it necessary to unlink the number from the page.

Most modern social networks literally force their users to attach mobile phone numbers to their pages. This procedure is the basis for the security of a particular social network. This procedure will make it possible to find out whether the person is trying to log in or change confidential data (login, password, etc.). Sometimes a user may need an old mobile number and everyone has their own reasons for this. It is worth noting that a social network is desirable only in cases where the user either intends to delete the page, or when there is no need to receive various types of notifications. In addition, if one number was linked to a specific page, and then, on the contrary, then it will not be possible to install it again.

How to unlink a number from VKontakte

For example, on the VKontakte social network, in order to unlink a number, you need to log into your account using your username and password, and then go to the “Settings” section. Next, you need to open the “Alerts” tab and check whether the e-mail is linked to the account or not (the “E-mail for alerts” field must be filled in). If you don’t do this, then you simply won’t be able to unlink your mobile phone number. After the user enters the E-mail and confirms it, you need to follow the link https://vk.com/deact.php. In the “Mobile phone” field, you should indicate the number that needs to be unlinked from the page on the social network and click on the “Send code” button. After the code arrives on your mobile phone, you must enter it in the appropriate field and confirm the operation using the “Disable Alerts” button. This completes the entire process, but after this the user will receive notifications about the binding of a new number.

Unlink VK page number

Despite the fact that many users are wondering how to unlink a page number, and how to unlink a phone number from a blocked VK page, the VKontakte administration offers only one option - replacing it with another. You cannot simply unlink a phone number from a page. These are the principles of VKontakte’s security policy. In addition, it is possible to unlink a phone number from one page and link it to another. Next, we will look at the entire process of untying and binding step by step.

How to unlink a number in Odnoklassniki

On the Odnoklassniki social network, everything is a little more complicated. In order to remove your phone number, you must first delete your page from the social network and wait three months, after which you will be able to register again (only for those who want to re-link the same number to the page). So, the whole procedure consists of deleting the page; unfortunately, there is no other way to achieve what you want. In order to delete a page in Odnoklassniki, you need to go to the very bottom of the page and find the “Regulations” item. By clicking on the link, a new window will appear where you need to find another link, which is also located at the very bottom and click on “Refuse services”. After this, a special menu will open in which you need to indicate the reason for deleting the page, enter the account password and click on the “Delete” button. After 3 months, the mobile phone number will be automatically deleted from the database.

Today I will continue to analyze the problems that arise among users of social networks. It should be noted that there are a great many of these problems: one thing does not work, then another, then it is incomprehensible to another user... In general, there are enough questions and most of them have to be answered by the support service. Today I will talk about how to unlink a mobile phone number from a page in VK.

Users who registered on Pavel Durov’s project five years ago probably remember those times when there was no connection to a phone at all. Then the idea appeared on small projects, and then large “players” in the Internet market began to use it. Now it is not known exactly who came up with this method (Russian specialists or foreign ones), but it works great. Why? Yes, simply because you will never lose your account - if your phone is at hand, you can always restore access to the page. In addition, you can make sure that you receive notifications on your device about any changes, including new messages, likes, etc.

Initially, linking to a number in VK was not mandatory - you could use the social network immediately after registration. But some time ago a real revolution took place - any account was forced to be linked to a phone! Some members of the project were dissatisfied with this innovation, while others did not even pay attention to it... Personally, I think that this is one of Durov’s most ingenious ideas, because in this way a person uses his number as a login, can instantly restore access to his profile, and the number issues related to its restoration decreased sharply, which helped relieve the burden. In general, nothing but positives.

However, there is one drawback in this whole situation - today it is impossible to unlink the number in principle, you can only change it to another one to which you have access. To do this, log into your account, select the “My Settings” section, scroll down the page to the “Change phone number” item and click on the button of the same name.

We write the new number here, wait for the code on the phone and enter it in the appropriate field. That's it, the rebinding was successful.

What to do if a page is deleted or blocked? Only one thing can help here - you need to write to support with a full description of the problem. The same thing needs to be done if you are trying to create a new account, and the system tells you that the number is already linked to another page (this is possible if you recently got a new SIM card). Follow all the necessary recommendations that follow from the support representatives and your problem, I am sure, will be solved.

If you have any questions about the article, ask them - I’ll try to help you.

to change your phone number

How to unlink a phone number from a page?

To do this, you first need to link your page to your email address.

(if you haven't done this before). Without this step, you will not be able to unlink your mobile number.

WARNING:

The same
VKontakte number
can be linked to different VKontakte pages only a few times. Therefore, after unlinking a mobile number, it happens that it can no longer be used to register a new page. Therefore, if you want to register 2 accounts on a social network for 1 number, then it’s better not to risk it.

In order to check whether a phone number is linked to a page or not, go to “ My Settings”

" - "
Alerts
".
Find the line “ E-Mail for alerts
” and make sure that the email address available to you is indicated opposite.
If necessary, click on the “ Change
” link and follow the instructions to enter your current e-mail.

Now that everything is ready

, you can directly go to the number link.
To do this, use the link https://vk.com/deact.php
In the first window, enter your mobile number in international format (via +7 +34, etc.) and click on the “ Send code”

"
In the next step, after the SMS arrives, enter the received code and click on “ turn off notifications
”.

If you did everything correctly, the number will be unlinked from this page.

NOTE

! After the mobile number is unlinked from the VKontakte page, you must use the linked email address as a login to log into the social network!

Ways to get a virtual number

Services with such offers can be paid or free.

A free site can be called the English-language https://www.textnow.com/. In its interface you can create (book) your own number, receive calls to it and receive SMS in a special window. All you need for this is a registration mailbox, preferably on the Gmail.com domain. But VK often recognizes a one-time rental number in the numbers on this site and does not send a verification code to it. To increase your chances of successful registration, use VPN services with American proxy servers. If the location of the Internet connection matches the region of the number, then the probability of the verification code being sent correctly is high.
Russian website https://sms-reg.com. It is classified as paid, although the prices are quite humane. For just 10 rubles, a one-time SMS receiver is sold, which is guaranteed to receive a VK verification code. Especially when choosing Russian numbers. If desired, one room can be rented for a day for 50 rubles or for a week for 500 rubles. You can renew the selected phone as much as you like and receive any SMS messages on it. Unlike the previous American site, the function of receiving calls is not provided here.

These are good options for registering a second page for yourself cheaply, or even for free. The downside is the likelihood that the phone will end up in the hands of another person who will also want to register on VK. But such cases happen infrequently, and unlinking a phone from a relatively new page without the intervention of the owner is not always easy.
