The social network VKontakte has long had restrictions on listening to music for users from other countries or those who logged into the site through the official mobile application. To remove such limits, a paid subscription can be used, which is automatically renewed every month and, if necessary, disabled through the settings. In the course of today's article, we will talk about the procedure for deactivating this service on different platforms.
With Student Subscription
Full-time students of higher educational institutions of the CIS countries and Georgia who are studying can subscribe with a 50% discount.
To apply for a student subscription, you need to fill out the form: (https://vk.link/student), attach photos of your student ID and wait for the application to be approved.
VKontakte must make sure that you are studying at a university. To do this, please fill out the form. Attach a photo of your student ID and a photo of yourself with your student ID.
It is important that the photographs must be in high resolution; the last name, first name and seal are clearly visible in the document. Take photos only in good lighting.
Verification of the application takes from 1 hour to 2 days. VKontakte will inform you about the result in a personal message.
Please note that the special price subscription is only available to full-time students and users who do not currently have an existing music subscription.
Student subscription price: 75 rubles/month for Russia and 115 rubles/month for other regions.
If you have any questions or difficulties, you must contact the VKontakte team support (vk.cc/help).

How to subscribe
You can subscribe to paid music from your smartphone from the social network’s mobile application or through the Boom application.

Therefore, it is easier to subscribe directly through the application.
Most likely, you will be offered to get rid of restrictions and subscribe the first time you open the VKontakte player or the Boom application. If this does not happen, click on the “Download” button next to any track.
The subscription is linked to your VKontakte account, so audio advertising in the browser will disappear automatically. Its cost is 149 rubles per month.

Hello, dear readers! On August 11, 2021, the Boom application appeared in the Play Market and App Store. It was created for listening to music on such popular social networks as VKontakte and Odnoklassniki. And since that time, VK developers began to limit users from listening to audio recordings for free, introducing more and more restrictions.
Currently, you can listen to music as a background using your mobile phone and the VKontakte application installed on it for only half an hour (then, when the device is locked, the music simply does not play). Also, the developers of the social network have disabled caching of songs and now they are not saved to the device, and, accordingly, you will not be able to listen to them without an Internet connection. While listening, audio advertisements appear.
What is the way out of the situation? Either switch to a competing social network, or subscribe and get rid of all restrictions when listening. Let's look at the second option, and consider what a subscription to music on VK provides, how to buy it, and what to do if you accidentally activated this service, don't listen to songs, and money is debited from your card monthly.
VKontakte has reduced the price of paid music subscriptions
Miscellaneous 12/27/2019 | 0
For more than two years now, the Russian social network VKontakte has been actively fighting piracy, doing everything possible for this. The reason for this state of affairs is simple - the social network wants to make money from the music that users listen to, and that is why, and at the same time, to get rid of unlicensed content, it has introduced a paid music subscription, which is paid for by the owners of smartphones, tablets, computers and other electronic devices They can not only listen to music without unnecessary difficulties, but also do it fully without any advertising. Any tracks you like can be downloaded to your mobile device for later listening without an Internet connection, and this, obviously, can be very convenient even when traveling around the world.
A subscription to music on the VKontakte social network, which is of course paid, costs 149 rubles for one month of use. It is quite obvious that this is a very modest amount, taking into account that you can listen to millions of music tracks, including the latest hits, doing this without additional payments or advertising. However, many social network users are convinced that this amount of money is too much, so they do not want to pay for a music subscription. To the delight of everyone, now you can save a lot on a subscription, and this became possible thanks to the Russian company Mail.ru Group, which owns this social network. So, in particular, it included a subscription to the Boom service in its previously launched branded subscription called Combo.
If you have such a subscription, paying for it every month, users receive a discount on food delivery from the Delivery Club service, reduced prices for taxi rides through the Citymobil service, discounts and increased cashback when using YouDrive carsharing, an additional 16 GB of free space in the cloud storage, as well as, in addition, many other bonuses. Now, starting from December 27, 2021, this same Combo subscription also includes the Boom music service, namely, it is integrated into the VKontakte social network. Thus, by paying for this subscription, the user will have the opportunity to listen to music on the Russian social network without restrictions, doing this without extra payments or any restrictions.
You need to pay 199 rubles for a subscription, but this is much more profitable than paying 149 rubles per month for a music subscription alone. By giving an additional 50 rubles a month, the user receives many different bonuses, which are guaranteed to be useful to him if he lives life to the fullest and makes full use of the latest modern technologies. Over time, Mail.ru Group will obviously continue to develop the Combo subscription, adding more and more various advantages to it, due to which it will be able to very quickly gain wide popularity among users, becoming a full-fledged competitor to the Yandex paid premium subscription .Plus".
Recently it became known that the social network VKontakte will pay money to all users of the social network.
Attention! Until December 6, everyone can get Xiaomi Mi Band 5 for free, spending just 3 minutes.

Subscription
There are several options here:
- Buy a music subscription using the installed application on your mobile phone.
- Install Boom for Andro >From phone
If it is more convenient to subscribe on an Android phone or iPhone, then you only need the VKontakte application. There is no particular difference in the actions performed, so let’s take an Android smartphone as an example.
Open the application and go to your profile. Next, click on the three horizontal stripes in the lower right corner.
Go to Settings - click on the gear in the top right.
From the list of settings that opens, select “Music subscription.”
Below is a description of the benefits received:
- listening without restrictions and advertising;
- saving songs for offline listening in Boom.
The cost of the service is 149 rubles/month, 109.99 UAH/month or $3.99/month for other countries. Before you pay, you will be asked to use your subscription for free. This period is 30 days. During this time, you can evaluate all the pros and cons, whether you need it or can do without it.
If you want to try it, click “Try for free”.
Now look carefully and remember the date on which funds will begin to be debited from you. This is necessary so that later questions do not arise, saying that you did not use it, the 30 days are over, and the money was automatically withdrawn from the account. If you don’t want to renew, you can cancel your subscription on Android or iPhone without any problems.
Click the “Continue” button.
The subscription is linked to the selected account. If you have a card connected to it, then the monthly payment can be paid using it. If there is no card, then you must specify it at this step.
I should immediately note that even after connecting the card, the money will not be withdrawn. All promised 30 days will be free.
Now let's tell you a little about the Boom application. You can download it either from the Play Store or the App Store. It's free. After installation, you need to select a social network (in our case, it’s VK) and log in to your account.
You can subscribe to music there as follows:
- Click on the note below. Then click on the button at the top right and select “Settings” from the list.
- Then click “Select tariff plan”.
- Opposite the inscription “BOOM-VK” click on the button with the price.
- A small window will appear in which you need to click on the button to confirm. It may say “Continue” or “Subscribe”.
After this, a line will appear indicating how many days are left. Audio advertisements will disappear when listening to songs, all songs can be played, and it will be possible to download them to the cache. There are also advantages of the application itself: a convenient player window, the ability to create your own and view playlists of friends and communities, access to new products, broadcast music to status, and the ability to share it with a friend.
From computer
For those who are used to using a computer, you need to do the following. Go to the Music section of your profile. Then click on playback of a song by a popular artist.
If such a window appears, this is what we need. If not, then find another artist.
As you understand, without a subscription the user will not be able to listen to everything. Click "Find out more".
Then click “Subscribe”.
You will be informed that the Administration of the social network has sent a link.
Open the dialogs and you will find a new message in them. It will contain a link. You need to navigate through it from the application installed on your phone. Well, all subsequent steps will need to be done from your smartphone. I wrote about them above.
The advantage of this method is that they will send you a ready-made link and you won’t have to look for where to connect your subscription.
How to subscribe
The best option is to use the Boom app. It will allow you to save tracks to the device’s memory, since this function is not available on the VKontakte player.
Subscription costs 149 rubles.
- Go to the settings in the VK mobile application and go to the Music subscription item;
How to subscribe to VK music - Click Try and Continue in the next window. The application will ask you to link a bank card or tele2 number for payment. But don’t worry, the money will not be debited in the first month, although a message will appear that the payment has been made.
Subscribe to music VKontakte - Next, a link will open to download the Boom application on Google Play or App Store (in my case it’s Google Play)
- When you first open it, your account is linked to this application, so advertising automatically disappears.
The first month of subscription to VK music is free. During this time you will understand whether you need it or not.
As a nice bonus, you will receive free stickers. They will arrive immediately after you subscribe.
