Registration on Instagram using a virtual number

When your real phone number has already been used, but you need a second account in the popular social network, then a virtual number comes to the rescue. We will tell you how to create a new Instagram account without buying one more SIM card.

Official and alternative ways of registration on Instagram

Users register on Instagram in different ways. Some of them relate to the official ones. You can easily find them by visiting the website of the social network. Other methods are called alternative ones. You can find out info about them only from aware people.

There are also partner software for Instagram, such as InstaRegByDelar and RkBox from SMS-Activate. The first software has a lot of advantages: working with a large number of threads at the same time, registration with real mail, automatic generation of names and surnames, saving accounts in a variety of formats and some more. The second one will be especially useful to recruiters, as it automates recruiting via VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Telegram, thus increasing the flow of candidates. Moreover, it does not require installation.

Registration via email and social networks

It is possible to create an Instagram account using your phone, email and an existing account. For the latter two methods, you need to select the “Add email address” option. You can also use a Facebook account.

But when using a mailbox, the system will periodically ask you to add your phone number. This is the only way that will help you maximize protection from hacking and blocking. If this is not an appropriate option for you, you should take a look at the following method.

Using virtual number services

This method is an alternative one and it is able to make the life of social network users easier. You can buy a disposable number for OTP on such a platform, which guarantees a lot of advantages that are not available when registering in the official way.

Why should one use a virtual number for Instagram?

Many Internet users have had an account for a long time, since this social network was created more than a decade ago. Unfortunately, no one is insured against blocking or losing access to the old account. In this case, it is necessary to create a new one, but what to do if there is no possibility or desire to use the real contact info? A temporary virtual number was invented for this purpose.

What a virtual number is and its advantages

A virtual number works via the Internet, so it does not require buying a SIM card or using a specific device. All you need to do to use its functionality is to copy the number in the box and confirm your identity using the required method - via SMS, call or voice bot.

Advantages of a virtual number for registration on social networks

What can you do with it?

1. Create a lot of accounts. The goal is to separate personal and work spaces or to promote business accounts to increase the reach and, consequently, sales. You will get conditionally free traffic from social networks for arbitrage. It means you can implement mass mailings, draw users' attention to products and applications with a referral program. Using multiple accounts will help to create activity in the comments. In addition, the amount of advertising will increase, because it can be placed on several platforms.
2. Keep privacy on social networks. This is necessary for those people who want to visit any groups and a personal account of any user without any restrictions. It also gives complete freedom of action in terms of comments, likes and more.
3. Return to the social network, if you got banned, as there is no other way to restore access.
4. Get bonuses and promo codes on marketplaces and services.
5. Bypass geographical restrictions and register on inaccessible sites.

Step-by-step process of creating an Instagram account with a virtual number

The first thing you need to do is to buy a number on a special site, for example, on SMS-Activate. Choose the purpose of the purchase in advance: short-term or long-term use. In the first case, the activation service will be suitable. In the second case it is better to choose the rent service.

1. Go to your personal account on the SMS-Activate page.
2. Top up your account's balance.
3. Find Instagram in the service search line and choose the quantity of numbers you want to purchase. You can also choose a country of the number.
4. Click on the cart icon to make a purchase. The "Activations" page will be immediately updated.

Registering an Instagram account with a virtual number

To create a new Instagram account, your further step-by-step order of actions should look like this:

1. Go to the main page of the social network, having enabled VPN beforehand (otherwise nothing will be loaded).
2. Click on the button to create a new account.
3. Enter your username, think of a password.
4. Go back to SMS-Activate and copy the contact phone number from there. Paste the number into the corresponding field.
5. Confirmation code will appear in the card on the site. Type it on the Instagram registration page.
6. Now your account is activated! All that remains is to fill in the rest of the information.

Can I use disposable mail and phone numbers for Instagram?

SMS-Activate service provides an opportunity to buy temporary mail addresses as well. To do this, enter the site for verification in the field and choose a domain. But we remind you that if you add only mail, the data will not be well protected.

Benefits and risks of using temporary data

Thus, despite the presence of advantages (anonymity, creation of multiple accounts, etc.), temporary data carry serious risks: loss of access to the profile, leakage of information with insufficient protection, blocking.

Therefore, try to protect your account and avoid registering important accounts related to work, documents and information transfer.

Managing multiple Instagram account with one virtual number

Now it has become easier to manage multiple accounts in the Instagram app. Everything is thanks to a special panel where you can switch between profiles without entering login data. This is convenient, since you do not need to spend time on authorization, remember the passwords. But the social network has restrictions not only on likes, subscriptions, comments, but also on the number of accounts.

Instagram limits and restrictions upon the number of accounts

You can create up to five accounts on one same device with one phone number. But since a number from SMS-Activate is not connected to the device and you can buy several of them, the number of accounts increases. Also, if you can't add an account through the quick toggle panel, where there are already five accounts, then do it through the button in the settings and Instagram Account Center.

Solving typical problems with virtual numbers

1. No SMS for confirmation is delivered. Check if the number is spelled correctly. If everything is written correctly, but the code does not come within 20 minutes, then use another phone, and the money for this unsuccessful attempt will be returned to your balance in the personal account. Also a possible solution can be to disable VPN or change the browser.
2. The system says that the phone is already being used. This is possible, as mobile operators reissue numbers, which had been used before, but then they were abandoned. In this case contact the customer service providing screenshots.

Registration of a new user on Instagram can cause difficulties if there is no possibility or desire to enter personal data. In this case a temporary number will come in handy ensuring full privacy of actions and providing a lot of advantages.
