VK: registering a new page via email (cheat sheet)

Registration via mail - how it happened and why it was canceled

Looking ahead a little, we must tell you that registration via email in VK no longer works. Why and what to do about it, read on. You can stock up on popcorn and make yourself comfortable – it will be interesting and educational!

Since the advent of this popular social network, users have created from 1 to several dozen pages for various purposes. Some of them are for sending spam, impersonating other people and other unseemly purposes.

Previously, it was easier to do this thanks to the ability to register via mail, that is, if you had 4 email addresses, you could easily create 4 pages for yourself on VK.

This flow of users and spammers put a significant load on the service, as a result of which it often froze, worked slowly, or even malfunctioned.

The administration decided to change the registration rules for new users in 2012, when it became clear that the service would no longer be able to work the way it worked before.

Since 2012, the ability to register using a postal address has been abolished forever. It has been replaced by registration through a mobile number, since having several active SIM cards is more difficult than having several active email addresses.

From now on, you can register in VK only if you have an active phone number and only after confirming it

How the process of registering in VK via email used to go:

• To begin with, you needed to log in to the VKontakte website.
• Then select the “Register” option.
• The site asked users to write their first, last and patronymic names.
• The site then asked for an active email address.
• The user entered his address.
• A confirmation code was sent to the specified email.
• This code was entered in a special field in VK.
• Then it was necessary to create a login and password for subsequent login to the site.
• The site required re-entering the password to confirm it.
• The user was then asked to upload their own photo and other personal data to their profile.
• At this point, the registration stage was completed and you could use your own page.

The administration also introduced a restriction for already registered users: after the update, all users had to enter their phone numbers.

Or every action was accompanied by the introduction of a captcha: sending every message, putting every like, writing every comment, logging into the site, adding friends, etc. It was easier to enter your number once than to enter a captcha every minute.

What kind of networks are these?

A social network is a free electronic project that helps bring people together. Someone already knew each other in real life, and thanks to social networks, it becomes much easier for these people to communicate with each other. Others make new connections: they make friends, find a job or maintain relationships with colleagues, and some even have love relationships thanks to the same VKontakte.

However, there is another category of people who use social networks, although not for their intended purpose, but with benefit. On many resources you can play simple games with friends and strangers, sell some unnecessary things, receive and share interesting information. I even have a Start-Luck VKontakte group that anyone can subscribe to.

By the way, this is another way to use social networks. If you have your own business, you can promote it through VKontakte. You tell the world about yourself and get clients.

There are many ways to make money on your personal page or group. So the advantage for some is also receiving additional income. Everything I just listed is relevant for all social networks present on the Internet.

So it’s time to find out what they are and who needs them. Is it necessary to register everywhere or is it enough to choose one single project?

Why does VK require a phone number and what do they do with this data?

Since 2012, the site management has introduced an update - now registration is possible only after entering a phone number. With the introduction of such restrictions, the load on the service decreased significantly, as did fraudulent activity. The number of fake pages has also decreased.

In this simple way, the site’s management ensured greater security for all users. Also, after the introduction of the update, there were fewer cases of hacking of personal pages.

VK asks for a phone number and without it there is no way to register. At the same time, the entered data is not used in any way by the site itself - they are only needed to confirm that you are the rightful and legal owner of the page.

The entered phone number is not used for other purposes, as it is considered confidential data and cannot be disclosed or transferred to third parties. VK cares about the safety of its users and takes this very seriously.

Creating several pages on VK

Each user of the VK network can create and use several pages simultaneously. For this purpose, you will need one phone number and several email addresses. The registration scheme is quite simple. First, the main account linked to the phone number is opened. All other profiles are linked to mailboxes, and the phone number is simply unlinked from the main profile.

Due to this, it becomes possible to link several profiles to one phone at once.

You can do it using a simpler method, the main thing is that you have several SIM cards available. In this case, postal confirmation will not be required; everything will be done now, that is, very quickly, via mail or phone.

What registration options have the administration canceled?

Until 2012, the following methods could be used to register in VK, in addition to indicating the postal address discussed above:

Registration via Facebook

Users of the social network had the opportunity to register using a Facebook account. The fact is that registering a page on Facebook did not require entering virtually any data and it was easier to first create an account on an American social network, and then use it to register on VK.

At the same time, it was not necessary to enter a phone number, email or other personal data. This registration method is currently not available.

Registration via landline phone

Also, the first users of the VK social network had access to a registration function indicating a landline (home) phone number. It happened like this: when registering, the user entered his or someone else’s home number, the answering robot called the specified number and called the confirmation code.

This code was entered in a special field in VK and the registration process ended there. At some point, the site administration noticed that dozens, or even hundreds of pages were registered to the same number.

After this, the option to register via a landline phone disappeared forever and is no longer available at the moment.

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 [removed] this.disabled=true in the corresponding field. 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 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 scammers are now trying to deceive you. Don't fall for such tricks.

How can you currently register on VK?

Currently, there is only one way to create a page on a popular social network. We will talk about it below and provide complete instructions for all stages of registration and filling out an account.

I would like to immediately warn our readers that after all the updates introduced in the system, it is no longer possible to register without specifying a phone number. The system simply does not provide any other option. But we will tell you how to get around this limitation (tips at the end of the article).

So, how to register in VK. Step-by-step instruction:

• Go to the official VK website.
• In the “Instant registration” column, indicate your first name, last name and date of birth.

• The next step is “Registration Confirmation”.

• Wait for the verification code to arrive on your phone and enter it in the special field.

  

• After entering the verification code, the system will prompt you to set a password for subsequent login to the site.
• Next, click “Log in to the site.”
• The system will prompt you to enter data such as country of residence, higher education, and enter your own URL address for your page. You can enter all this data at this stage or ignore them and proceed to filling out the page.
• Set your photo.

  

• At this stage, the social network will give you a little training and show you what and where it is to make it easier for you to navigate the site.
• In the settings you can change your password, configure the privacy of your page, alerts and many other functions so that it is convenient for you to use the service.

  

This is the only working way to register in VK at the moment.

Registration via virtual number

A virtual number is a temporary mobile number. You can get it online for free or for little money.

This number is used for various purposes, but we just need to receive an SMS message from VK on it. It happens this way:

1. We go to a special website that gives users virtual phones.
2. We receive your number and indicate it when registering a Contact.
3. An SMS with an activation code will be sent to the site where we got the phone from. We copy it, paste it into the registration form and the page is ready.

Important! A virtual number is a rented phone and will not belong to you. This means that if you ever have problems logging into your VK profile, it can be very difficult to restore access to it.

Toll-free and paid numbers

There are enough websites on the Internet that publish toll-free numbers for SMS. They allow you to receive messages directly through the site.

List of sites with toll-free numbers:

Just open the site, select a number and try to register for it in VK. If everything goes well, you will receive an activation code directly to this site. Just enter it into Contact and your profile is ready.

In addition, there are websites where you can get an individual number. Only for this you will need to register. The most popular are the already well-known pinger.com and textnow.com, as well as twilio.com and sonetel.com.

And that is not all. There are also applications for Android. Install, register and receive a free number. These are applications such as Text Me, Telos and Swytch.

There is one thing! It is extremely difficult to register through toll-free numbers.

Some numbers are already occupied, others do not receive messages from VK, and others do not work at all.

But paid virtual phones are the easiest and fastest way to get a page in 2021. Moreover, the activation cost is low (7-30 rubles).

Paid virtual number sites

Usually, immediately after purchase, the site allocates a mobile number. It is available for 20 minutes, which is enough to activate your account.

Step-by-step instructions for registering via virtual phone

Right now I’ll show you with an example how to create a VKontakte page through a virtual number. I will do this using the SMS Activate website, but you can use any other one - the principle is the same.

1 . We go to the website sms-activate.ru and register.

The procedure is standard: you need to specify your email and come up with a password. Then we confirm the email address: go to the mailbox, open the letter and follow the link.

2. We log in to the site if this does not happen automatically. On the left side, select the country.

If your country is on the list, it is better to select it. It will cost more, but such numbers are more reliable. There can be problems with cheap ones (China, Philippines) - their Contact often bans them.

Below is the activation cost for Contact.

3. We top up the balance with the required amount, click on the “VKontakte” item at the bottom left and click “Buy”.

If it says that there are no numbers (0 pieces), then you need to wait a little until they are added. This is written at the top of the site.

4 . Immediately after the purchase, the number allocated by the system will appear. Let's copy it.

Then open vk.com and go through standard registration. At the stage of adding a phone, we simply insert a virtual one. Remember to select the correct country if it doesn't match!

Then click “Get code” and return to the virtual number website.

5 . Click on the green button with the image of a bird.

We are waiting for the activation code - it will come in the “Code from SMS” line. We copy it (we don’t close the site).

Paste the code into Contact and click “Send code”.

Then we assign a password to log into your account.

6. We return to the Sms-Activate website and click on the button with a green checkmark.

Important! Do not forget to save this number, because it is through it that you will enter VK.

You can view the number in your personal account of the Sms-Activate service in the “History” section.

TOP - 2 ways to register a new page in VK without a phone

And now we will tell you what to do if you don’t want to enter your personal number or you want to create an additional page in VK. You will still have to enter some phone number, to which you will receive a confirmation SMS alert with a code.

In order to receive a temporary phone number only at the time of registration, you can use special services such as Onlinesim, Sms-online, Recieve-sms (free services) or Sms-activate, 5sim (paid services).

These services provide Internet users with the opportunity to borrow a phone number to register and confirm the phone number.

That is, you can use the offered phone numbers on one of these services, enter them into VK, receive a code and confirm the phone number.

One of the main advantages of using such services is that you do not enter your personal phone number. But this method has one big drawback - if you lose access to the page, it will be very difficult for you to restore it.

The second way to register in VK is to register at the invitation of one of the existing users. In this case, you need to have an already verified page with an already verified phone number. The scheme is simple.

From your main page (or one of your friends) you send an invitation to register a new user. This is done like this:

• You need to go to the “Friends” tab on the social network.
• Click on the “Search for friends” option.
• Below the search options, click on the “Invite Friends” option.
• Enter the first and last name of the friend you are inviting.
• Please provide a valid mailing address.
• Open VK in Incognito mode.
• Click "Forgot Password".
• Enter the email you specified to invite a new friend.
• Follow the link sent to your email to reset your password.
• Create a new password for your future account.
• Go to apidog.ru in Incognito mode.
• Enter the specified email and password.
• Save this data.
• Log in and you can use the new page.

Receive Free SMS

The operating principle of this resource is very similar to the previous one. After entering the site, click on any number from the list. Then you look through the messages in the table.

It is worth noting that using the listed services, it is possible to register not only in a contact without a phone number, but also in other social networks and other sites. Where should you enter your mobile number?

Bottom line

Currently, it is impossible to register in VK solely using email; it can be specified as additional data. Now, to create an account on VKontakte, you will have to enter your phone number.

If for some reason you do not want or cannot enter your personal number, then specialized services that provide temporary mobile numbers will come to your aid. Or you can use .

In any case, it is no longer possible to create a new page on VK via email, but there are alternative ways out of this situation. Without indicating your real number, creating a page for yourself, although difficult, is possible.

Register on VKontakte without a phone number

There are three main ways to create a VK page for free without linking a number:

1. “Fake” (unreal) phone;
2. Login via Facebook;
3. Via virtual number.

Let's consider each method in order.

Fake number

The essence of the method is that when creating a profile, the user does not use his own number, but someone else’s. For example, borrow a phone from a friend or buy a second SIM card. On the confirmation page, enter the third-party number:

If you have a landline phone, you can go a different route. To do this, just enter the number in 11-digit form and click “Get code”. The robot will call and tell you the profile activation code. This method allows you to register countless pages using one phone.

Login via Facebook

Despite the fact that Vkontakte is a Russian-language site, the current owners of mail.ru are trying their best to enter the foreign market by collaborating with other social networks. One of these partners is Facebook.

VKontakte provides only to foreign residents

register on the resource via Facebook.
But since we are in Russia, we will have to cheat the system a little. To do this, we will use anonymizers,
of which there are a huge number on the Internet.

As an example, consider one of the popular anonymizers “Chameleon”. Go to the site:

Simply enter vk.com into the search bar or select from the list of popular queries.

This is what registration looks like for residents from Russia:

And this is what the site looks like for a user logged in through an anonymizer:

Accordingly, click on “Log in with Facebook”.

The risks of the method are the same as those described above: the inability to recover lost user data.

Creating a VKontakte page via a virtual phone

Now let's talk about a complex but more effective way to create an account on VK without a phone.

To create a virtual number, the international service
pringer . com
. You cannot make calls through it, but you can receive SMS messages that are necessary to complete registration.

1. Launch the site and go to the “Textfree Web” section on the top panel;
2. The resource invites you to register. Click sing up free:
