Current ways to register
Previously, users were able to register on VK via email without a mobile number, but now, unfortunately, this option is closed.
There are currently only two ways to register:
- Using a mobile number (the social network no longer accepts a landline phone number);
- Via Facebook (however, you will still need a mobile phone).
Separately, it is worth noting registration using virtual telephony - such contacts are increasingly not accepted by the service for profile registration. This is due to the fact that for one mobile social. the network allows you to register one profile, and there are not enough virtual phones for everyone. In addition, some of them are blocked for spam.
You shouldn’t trust sites that tell you how to register on VKontakte via email - while promising to help you right now, most of them are scammers hiding behind these services.
In this case, it will not be the service that will deceive, but the user. At best, these statements will turn out to be empty, at worst, the user may lose money or get a virus on their device.
In fact, when creating a new page, there is no provision for registering in VK through mail without a phone number, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s a Mail ru, Google, or Yandex mailbox. However, this does not mean that your email will not be needed at all when creating an account - you can and even need to indicate it.
Standard registration
Standard registration is very simple and anyone can handle it. In order to create a page, you will need a mobile phone number that has not yet been used on a social network and a couple of minutes of free time.
- First, go to the official website;
- In the right corner there is a block “For the first time on VKontakte?”, which is what we need. We fill in all the fields in it;
By default, you only need to use your real first and last name to register. This will help friends or relatives find us, and, if necessary, restore access to the page through technical support.
- Click “Continue registration”;
- Enter your mobile phone number and agree to the rules of the social network. The number is entered without the eight;
- You should receive an SMS with a code on your mobile phone, which we enter in a special field.
After entering the code, enter the password and see a message stating that registration was successful.
All that remains is to fill in the necessary data, set up privacy and you can start looking for friends and acquaintances.
Why specify a mailbox in your profile settings?
Since it is impossible to register on VKontakte without a phone number via email, users use the available options: mobile phone or Facebook.
But after creating a social account. the network will ask you to provide personal information such as city, school, institute, place of work and residential address. The service will also persistently ask you to link your email account to your account, because this is important for the security of your profile:
- When restoring an account, an electronic mailbox will help significantly speed up the procedure.
- If the account was stolen by changing contacts, the user can still submit a request to return the profile. Among other information, you will need to indicate the previously linked telephone number and mailbox.
Therefore, we recommend that you indicate a valid email address in your profile settings; this will definitely not be superfluous, but it can help you if problems arise with your account.
Of course, the question of whether it is possible to register in VK without a phone number via mail has a clear answer - at the moment it is impossible. But users continue to hope and end up on fraudulent resources, leaving both personal data and money with them. You should be wary of such services and register only on official social sites. network using a phone number. And of course, it’s better not to neglect security - link your mailbox to a new profile.
How to create a VK without a phone number? There are several ways to do this - registration through a virtual phone number, email or the social network Facebook.
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:
- Listening to music;
- Applications;
- Managing your communities and promoting your business;
- 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.
When creating a VKontakte account, you usually indicate your first name, last name and date of birth, then your phone number and E-mail. The phone number is needed here for security, because if something happens, a confirmation code will be sent to your SIM card. This way, few people will be able to hack your page, especially if you enable two-step verification.
To log into VKontakte from the mobile version of the application or the desktop version, in any case, you will have to enter your phone number and password.
Linking by email still remains, but as a secondary option for restoring a hacked account.
I note that hackers are not asleep, which means that at any moment your page may end up in the hands of an attacker. 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.
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:
- Can't send messages to friends.
- You cannot send friend requests.
- Constant appearance of captcha.
- 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.

Unfortunately, in 2018-2019 this method became obsolete. Nowadays, in fact, only a personal phone number is used.
Previously, it was possible to use a home phone number, after specifying which a robot would call and dictate an activation code. At the moment the method does not work.
Finally, another myth is registering in VK without a number, but through Facebook. This has long been impossible - only your SIM card number. There is a workaround though.
This method is not available for Russian speakers, only for users of other countries who allow them to use our social network. The workaround is quite simple and here's what you need to do:
- Download the Opera browser (you can use any VPN service or anonymizer extension).
- In Opera, enable VPN in the settings and access vk.com only through VPN.
- Below in the registration field there should be a “Continue with Facebook” button.
- If you have a Facebook account, then enter your login information or create a profile, because it only requires email.
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.
It’s been impossible to register without a phone number, just don’t worry, it’s been impossible for 4 years now. As of 2021, the methods described on the Internet for registering a VKontakte page are not working . There will be changes, we will rewrite the instructions. But there are some life hacks, more about them below.

Let us remind you of the methods that do not work and are described on the sites.
Why use a phone number when registering on VKontakte?
The number of spam accounts on the social network grew exponentially, spam poured into personal messages, comments on photos, etc. For these purposes, thousands of fake profiles were created every minute, which loaded VKontakte servers and made the social network slower. Because Most people have a phone, the solution is obvious - one number, one account. Since 2012, registration in VK without a telephone has been impossible; the function of robot dialing to city landlines was soon disabled. Another problem for the administration was the constant hacking of pages: knowing the login and password, the attackers sent spam to friends and took away accounts.
What are the advantages of being connected to a mobile phone?
1) Enabling two-step authorization; to enter the page you will need to enter the received code.
2) When you try to log into your account and start sending out messages, the scammer will have your VKontakte page blocked. Unfreeze the page in your free time by SMS.
3) When logging into your account from someone else's computer, mobile phone, or tablet, you will need to enter a verification code.
4) It's easy to change your password if you forgot your old one.
The full list of benefits is much wider, feel free to use the function.

Working methods of registering on VK without a new phone number
Reused SIM card
Register a page on a SIM card to which the VKontakte page is already linked, i.e. register a second time. If the old profile was rarely used, when verifying your profile you will see a standard form for receiving a verification code.
After registering the 2nd page, log in to the 1st page. According to the prompts that appear, link it to the number again. It will automatically disconnect from the 2nd. Result:
- old full account without restrictions
- new with restrictions
- one SIM card in hand.
The method will not work if the 1st profile is used: they enter it, visit contact pages, receive, send messages. Or secure two-step sign-in is enabled. Then, at the stage of receiving the verification code, the error This number has recently been used or Already taken will appear.
