There are other options for creating a page: through Facebook or Google mail. But in both cases you also need to enter your mobile number. But to register without a number, you will first have to get a virtual phone. This is a one-time number that is used only for activation.

But if the profile was blocked by the administration or you deleted it more than 7 months ago, then it is impossible to restore it. All that remains is to register a new account and try to find all your friends.

How to register without a phone number
You can register in Contact without a phone number. For this purpose, there is such a service on the Internet as a virtual number. This is a temporary phone without a SIM card. You can receive an SMS with an activation code, and this is exactly what we need to create a new page.
The principle is as follows:
- We get a virtual phone number;
- We print it when registering in VK;
- We receive an SMS with a code and enter it on the website.
Virtual numbers can be free or paid. But in both cases, you need to take into account that these are only temporary phones. This means that if you have problems logging in in the future, it will be difficult to regain access to the page.
Free virtual numbers
There are services where they give out free phones for receiving SMS. They come in several types:
- Sites with public numbers are pages where currently available telephone numbers are published. These are resources such as freeonlinephone.org, receivesmsonline.net, receive-sms-online.com, sms.sellaite.com, onlinesim.ru and others. Everything is simple there: you click on the number, and a list of SMS messages that were sent to it opens.
- Sites with registration - you must first register on them and after that a number for SMS will be indicated in your personal account. And here, in your personal account, you can read received messages. These are resources such as twilio.com, sonetel.com, pinger.com and textnow.com.
- Android applications are phone programs that allocate virtual numbers to users. To get a free number, you need to install the application on your Android smartphone and register in it. The most popular applications: Swytch, Telos, Text Me.
In practice, I tried every free site and every application. I spent several days on this, but never received the treasured SMS with the code.
Some of the numbers are busy, that is, pages are already registered on them. For some reason Contact does not accept other phones. And they don’t receive the third SMS. I see only one option: monitor sites with public numbers and, as soon as a new phone appears, quickly register a page for it.
Note: if you read other instructions for registering on VKontakte without a phone number, they often recommend the pinger.com service. Previously, it was actually possible to register through it, but this method has not worked for a long time. Either the issued number does not work, or SMS messages are not being received.
Paid virtual numbers
You can buy a one-time virtual number on the Internet. This is a temporary phone that is issued online for a certain period of time (usually 15-20 minutes). You can receive a code for creating a VK account.
Step-by-step instruction
Right now I will show you how to create a new VKontakte page on a computer without a phone - through a virtual number. I will do this using the SMS Activate service as an example.
Open the website sms-activate.ru and in the upper right corner click on Login/Registration.
We fill out the registration form. Here you need to enter your email and come up with a password to log into the service.
We go to the mail, open the confirmation letter and follow the link in it.
After this, your email address should appear in the upper right corner of the site. If it doesn't appear, log in.
On the left side of the site, select the country. This determines what number the system will issue and how much it will cost. It is better to take the number of the country where you are located. If in Russia, then the Russian number, if in Ukraine, then the Ukrainian number.
The cheapest rooms are Chinese. But I do not recommend using them, since Contact often blocks such phones.
The list of services will show the cost and number of available rooms.
If there are no phones in stock (0 pcs.), you will have to wait. New ones appear approximately every two hours. The time of their appearance is written at the top of the site.
Click on the inscription “0 rub.” in the upper right corner of the site and select “Top up balance”.
Select a payment method and indicate the room rate. After crediting the money, click on the VKontakte line in the left column and click “Buy”.
A line with a phone number will appear. Let's copy it.
In a new browser tab, open the vk.com website and fill out the standard registration form.
Select the phone country from the list and insert the resulting number. If the country code is duplicated, delete it. Then click “Get code”.
We return to the Sms-Activate service tab and click on the green checkmark button.
We are waiting for the SMS to arrive. The code will arrive within a minute in the “Code from SMS” column.
Go to the VKontakte tab, print the received code and click “Send code”.
We come up with a password to log into our VK page.
Be sure to save your password - without it you will not be able to log into the site later.
That's it - the page is ready!
Again, go to the Sms-Activate tab and click on the button with the bird.
Be sure to save the phone number you were given. It is through it that you will then access your page.
To view the number, you need to go to the “History” section in your personal account of the service.
How to protect a page from hacking
VKontakte pages are often hacked by hackers. This happens due to user inattention and too simple passwords.
From hacked pages, hackers send out advertisements, get likes, and in the worst case, do shady things. For example, they extort money from the victim’s friends and relatives.
No one is safe from hacking, even if the profile is empty and rarely used. This will not stop hackers, so it is very important to protect your page.
Set up your profile. To do this, click on the name in the upper right corner of the site and select “Settings”.
In the "General" section:
- Add your email;
- Change the page address;
- Assign a complex password.
Complex is a password that consists of 12 characters, large and small letters, and numbers.
Then go to the "Privacy" section and adjust the visibility of the data on the page. I recommend setting the following settings:
- Who can post on my page: Friends and friends of friends
- Who can comment on my posts: Friends and friends of friends
- Who can call me in apps: Only friends
- Who can invite me to communities: Only friends
- Who can invite me to apps: Friends only
If you registered the page using your personal mobile number, it is advisable to enable login confirmation in the “Security” section.
Record the data from your page. They will come in handy for any access problems.
Save the following information:
- Link to page. It can be found in “Settings”;
- Phone number attached to the page and email. This is also in “Settings”;
- First name, last name, date of birth indicated on the page;
- Login password.
Log out of your profile on other people's devices. The contact is configured in such a way that login information is automatically remembered. That is, every time you enter the site, your personal page opens by itself.
This means that all the “internal” capabilities of the social network are available to anyone who gains access to a computer (tablet, smartphone).
Any person who logs into VKontakte from your device will be able to read correspondence, add or delete friends, photos, videos, music, and edit personal data. In general, he will be able to do everything that you can do with your page.
To prevent this from happening, you need to log out of your profile. To do this, click on your name in the upper right corner and select “exit” from the list.
It is especially important to log out of your profile on someone else’s computer or phone.
Then the Internet program will forget your data, and the next time you open the site, your personal page will no longer load. But it will still remain on the site - to enter it you will need to enter your login information (phone or email, password).
Check the site address before entering your page. There is such a thing on the Internet as “phishing sites.” These are sites that look very similar to Contact, but they have nothing to do with the social network. Fraudsters deliberately create such pages so that users mistakenly enter their login information there.
You can distinguish a real Contact from a fake one by its address. It is written in the top line of the browser. The real VKontakte website will have the following address: vk.com
If the address is different, then you have landed on a fraudulent site. Do not enter your data there under any circumstances!
Other tips for protecting your page can be found in the official security group: vk.com/security.
Where to look for your page on VKontakte
A user’s page on VK is his profile, which displays personal data, address of residence, list of friends, favorite music, etc. As soon as we open the VK social network from a tab in the browser or from a search engine, we see the news page. This is a summary of all your friends' news. The news displays all the publications that your friends have posted, their posts, suggestions, discussions. If you write any news on your wall, your friends will also see it on their pages.
To get to your page with your Contact wall, you need to click on the link in the “My Page” menu.
It is located first in the menu block. Immediately after this, you will find yourself on your page, where your avatar, wall and publications are visible.
As well as a list of friends, gifts, etc. Many users may still not know that their page can be opened from browser bookmarks. This is much more convenient and you don’t need to enter your data in the “Login” and “Password” fields each time.
