How to make two VKontakte pages with one phone number attached to them

Registering a new account

It’s easiest for those whose main page was created before 2011, when the link was only to an email address: for such people, they just need to register another account for their current one. But if the page was created later, or a second one was needed after the connection to the phone took place, you will have to work hard.

• First of all, you should create a new page. How exactly this is done is easy to find out on the VKontakte service website itself; the instructions there are very detailed and understandable even for beginners on the Internet.
• At the stage when you need to enter a phone number to receive an SMS with a code, you need to specify the number linked to the previous page.
• The system will display a message indicating that the number is already in use. At this stage, you will be offered several options for further actions, one of which is to unlink the phone number from the previous number and link it to the account you are creating. You should select this item.

The number of possible bindings is limited. So if in the future you need another account, it’s easier to immediately buy a new SIM card.

  Good afternoon.
  If the number link is not lit, you can wait a while. Or write to support, it may be possible to speed up this process. Since the email is also not the same, it’s worth writing to technical support. If your profile data has changed, then it may be a hack and you should check your computer for viruses. Answer

Linking an email to a new account

So, the new page was linked to the old phone number. In principle, the task is completed. However, if you leave everything like this, there is a high risk of losing one of the accounts: in fact, the user has one login (phone number) with two different passwords - for the old and new page. If one of the passwords is forgotten, only the one linked last will be restored via SMS.

To avoid problems, you should immediately take care of backup recovery methods. Fortunately, Vkontakte is additionally linked to email. You need to do this:

• Go to any site that offers to create a free “box”. It’s best to take the one that doesn’t have an email address yet, so you don’t have to enter different passwords every time.
• Register there, create an email and get its address.
• Enter this address on the new VKontakte page and confirm it by following the link in the automatic letter.

All. From this moment on, the linking took place, and if the password for the new account is lost, it can be recovered through this email. In addition, the site system will consider this email address as a login, and not the phone number.

When choosing an email service, you should make sure that it is real and reliable. If you use something like “Get a temporary address for fifteen minutes,” you will end up losing your account.

What to do if you tried to link VK to your mail?

If, without your knowledge, someone tried to make changes to your profile settings, and you received a letter from VK about linking your email to your mobile phone, then you should follow the specified link through any browser (Yandex, Opera, etc.). There are many videos on YouTube channels on how to do the binding yourself.

Please note that there have been no changes to VKontakte yet in 2021. The functionality of the social network remains the same.

Login to your old account with your previous number linked

But this is not the last stage. Since the number was unlinked from the old page, when entering it, almost all actions will have to be confirmed by entering a captcha - this way the system is insured against possible fraud.

Here you need to use the following algorithm:

• Log in to your old account by entering your password.
• In response to the system’s prompt to link a phone number (it will be displayed for almost any action), you need to enter the old number.
• After the message that the number has already been linked, you should select an item in the menu that links this number to the account that is currently in use (that is, to the old one).
• After receiving the SMS, you need to enter the sent code. The binding will take place automatically.

If binding is no longer possible (for example, all attempts allowed by the service have been exhausted), all that remains is to run to the nearest communication store for a new SIM card. Fortunately, they cost little more than a couple of trips on public transport, and you can purchase as many numbers as you like with one passport. After this, it is enough to maintain a minimum positive balance on the card and call from it a couple of times a month - and it will be considered active for as long as you like.

You can often find services online that offer to automatically link two pages to one number. All of them are fraudulent at best: you pay for the “service” and get nothing. At worst, if the service requires you to enter a password for the old page, you will simply give it to the service owners. Restoring access to your account will be problematic.

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” area. 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:

When can I link another new page?

For those who are trying to make money on VKontakte by promoting groups and public pages, they often need not 1-2, but several pages from which they can send messages and subscribe. Is it possible to link a third, fourth or more accounts to a phone number?

Theoretically this is possible, but you need to remember the following:

• There is a limit on binding. The exact number of times one phone number can be assigned to different accounts varies (VKontakte technical support is constantly changing the conditions, increasing the security of the service), but it is always finite. Sooner or later it will be exhausted - and creating each new page requires two bindings.
• There is also a time limit. If you repeat the operation earlier than a month later, nothing will work: the system will consider such actions a dangerous fraud and will not allow you to complete the registration.
• Finally, with each new link, the vulnerability of all pages created by the user increases. Sooner or later it will end with someone taking control.

Therefore, it is better not to repeat this operation. It should be remembered: the rule “one account - one phone number” on VKontakte was not introduced in vain.

You should also remember: if pages are created for commercial activities, then the administration will sooner or later notice advertising and messages from them - itself or at the request of one of the users who decides to complain. In this case, for violating the rules of the service, you can get a ban not only on your accounts, but also on your phone number - after that you will no longer be able to create a single page using it. Therefore, it is recommended not to take risks, but to purchase another SIM card.

Already hacked

If you were hacked on a social network and your password was changed, but you did not link to your email or phone, then you will need to write a letter to the site support service by filling out a special form, in which, in particular, you will need to indicate your passport data. Also, be patient, it will take 2-3 weeks for support to respond.
