It is hard to imagine modern world without social networks. This is one of the greatest inventions of the 21st century, which allowed people to communicate with each other without any barriers. In the vastness World Wide Web There is a large number of social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.). Nevertheless, on the Russian-language Internet the most popular site is VKontakte. If you want to join the new era of online communication, you just need to register in VKontakte.
Initially, to register on a social network, you had to receive a special invitation. Now registration on VKontakte is available to everyone. All you need to create your own page is a mobile phone. It is to this that your social network account will be linked. If you forget your password, you can always access the page via your mobile phone.
Please note that only one VKontakte account can be linked to one number. If you create a second page, the first one will lose its connection to the phone. Registration of a new user occurs in several steps. Let's see right now how to register in Contact.
Step one: personal information
Go to the official VKontakte website. Should display start page. In the left corner there is a “Registration” button. Click on it to open registration form. You must enter your personal data: first and last name. Having done this, click on the “Register” button. 
If someone has already logged into your account on your computer and because of this you cannot register on the VKontakte social network, then in this case you need to exit the page. To do this, in the right top corner site, click on the user name. A drop-down list will appear in which you must select “Log Out”.
Step two: education
The social network will ask you to indicate the school where you study or once studied. You can skip this item if you wish by clicking the corresponding button. However, we would recommend that you indicate your location of study. After all, thanks to this, the site’s algorithms will help you find your classmates. 
The country is determined automatically. All you have to do is indicate the city and name of the specific school. Then VKontakte will prompt you to identify the higher educational institution where you are studying or studied. Everything is similar here, so no problems should arise.
Step three: mobile phone
To register a new page, VK will require you to specify . Enter it and click on the “Get code” button. After a couple of minutes, you will receive an SMS on your mobile phone containing a short set of numbers. Of course, there is no charge for the message. Enter the received code in the appropriate field on the site. After that, click on “Send code”. 
If after a few minutes you still haven’t received the SMS, you need to click on the “I didn’t receive the code” hyperlink. The system will send a new message to your phone. If it doesn’t reach you, then you need to click on the “Yes, let the robot call” button. This will cause a bot to call your phone and dictate a code. 
Previously, registration on VKontakte was carried out via email. However, over time, the rules for creating pages have become more strict. And in 2017, you won’t be able to register in VK without a phone number.
Step Four: Password
The most important step remains, which is mandatory for those who want to register on VKontakte for free. You must create and specify a password with which you will access your account. A special form will appear on the page. This is where you need to enter the password.
There are certain password requirements. Firstly, its size must be at least 6 characters, but no more than 32. Secondly, you cannot use special characters like *, %, $, etc. We recommend that you use complex passwords that contain characters of different case and numbers. This way you can protect yourself from hacking. Also pay attention to the language in which you enter the password.
Step five: login to the site
When the VK page is registered, you can go to it. To do this, you need to go to the official VKontakte website. Enter your phone number and password in the appropriate form, then click on the “Login” button. Voila - you have reached your page. Now you can communicate with your family, friends, colleagues without any restrictions, completely free of charge.
Number recently used
Sometimes it happens that a new page is not registered on VKontakte. The site does not create an account on the grounds that the number has recently been used. What to do in this case? The simplest solution is to register using a different phone. In the future, you can relink the page to another SIM card. This is done through the “My Settings” section, the “Change phone number” item.
If this option does not suit you, then there is only one way out - contact VK technical support. Describe your problem and send a request to support. As a rule, VKontakte employs highly qualified employees who promptly respond to incoming applications. Therefore, you won’t have to wait long for an answer. To speed up the process of solving the problem, attach to the application the phone number to which you want to link the page.
Social networks have become an integral part of our Everyday life. But many people are interested in questions about how registration is carried out in contact. That is why we decided to write a short instruction. Having completed all its points correctly, your social network VKontakte registration will be hassle-free, and you will be able to enjoy limitless communication.
History of registration in contact
Not everyone remembers how this procedure took place at the dawn of the formation of this social network. Then, in order to become a participant in the project, you had to receive an invitation that could only be sent by a registered user. This protected against a large number of fake pages, but for some potential users in the contact, registration was simply not available.
This restriction has been lifted today, and the site itself operates on the vk.com domain. There is nothing complicated about registration. All you need is internet access and a working phone number.
New Member Registration Procedure
You need to visit the site, and in the corresponding fields located on home page, enter your first and last name. After this, you can safely click the “Register” button. Then you just have to go through three steps and get your account activation code:
- Stage one. It involves finding classmates. After entering your school information, a list will be provided from which you can select the people you need. A feature worth noting here is that you can add them as friends even before final registration;
- Stage two. Similar to the first one, only classmates are being searched for. You can skip this step if you do not want to enter information;
- Stage three. At this stage, on the VKontakte social network, in order for further registration to be available to you, you need to enter your phone number. A free message will be sent to it, the body of which contains an activation code. After entering it in the appropriate field on the site, registration will be completely completed. To gain access to the site, enter only a real phone number!
Remember, registration is carried out in contact for free! The SMS comes directly to your phone. If you receive a message asking you to send a response message to complete registration, then there is a virus on your computer. Clear it or try registering from another computer.
Linking the phone number of an already registered page to a new one
If during the registration process it is discovered that a contact page is already linked to your phone number, then a corresponding notification will inform you about this. You will have a choice: create new page or switch to the old one. On the previously registered page when you log in, a corresponding message about changing your phone number will appear. You can link to a new phone number or, after a day, re-specify the old one.
When you log in as a new user, you will receive brief instructions by main functions and sections. In total, it will take you only 5-10 minutes to become a user of the largest Russian social network. And to protect your account from hacking, use an antivirus and firewall.
VKontakte is the most popular social network in Russia and the CIS countries. Not only the number of active users is growing every day, but also the number of fake accounts. To solve this problem, VKontakte management decided to link it to a specific phone when creating a page, which not all users liked. How to register in VK without a phone number? Let's figure it out.
What does registration via phone give?
Not everyone understands the importance of linking a phone when creating an account on social networks. The introduction of such a function has two main goals:- Improve security. When you link your cell phone, spam bots will not be able to send “unpleasant” messages to friends from your profile. In addition, this makes it more difficult to hack an account, since login sessions from other PCs are displayed on the mobile device;
- Support mobile version In contact with.
It should also be taken into account that the developers of the social network plan to completely abandon the use of Email to link a profile to increase security.
Is it possible to register in VK without a phone number?
There is no definite answer to the question, since in any case you will have to enter the number or use third-party resources. Of course, the field can be left empty, but then the user will be missing some of the capabilities without which VKontakte cannot be called a social network, namely:- A ban is imposed on sending personal messages to other users;
- It is forbidden to add as a friend;
- Possibility to join groups.
Register on VKontakte without a phone number
There are three main ways to create a VK page for free without linking a number:- “Fake” (unreal) phone ;
- Login via Facebook;
- Via virtual number.
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.
The risk of this method is that if you lose data from your account, it will be difficult or even impossible to recover the password (in the case of a landline number). It is recommended to use the “Fake Phone” method only if the page is not the main one.
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 for foreign residents register on the resource via Facebook. But since we are in Russia, we will have to cheat the system a little. For 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”.
Note: Do not forget that this method requires a Facebook account, for registration you only need an email.
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 will use international servicepringer. com. You cannot make calls through it, but you can receive SMS messages that are necessary to complete registration.
If you have an account on google+, Facebook or Twitter, then to save time you can access the service through these resources.
It should also be noted that the number is issued to you at permanent basis. If you have forgotten your account password, you can request confirmation of the recovery request on your current phone.
You can use not only the Pringer service, but other analogues of virtual cellular (Room5, Kontiki, Bizo, Kendo UI).

These could be programs for downloading music from a social network, settings appearance, browser extensions, etc. It’s always worth checking what programs you install on your computer. One of the pretty reliable ways is search in popular search engines by the name of a particular program.

Usually nothing bad will happen, even if you installed such a program. She may start sending advertisements to your friends on your behalf or simply change your password, but this can be easily avoided if you choose programs responsibly.
