Registering a second Vkontakte account

Those who run business online or want to get higher anonymity on the net, often face the need to create another account in Vkontakte. But what to do if you need to confirm your identity via your phone when logging into VK? We will tell you how to create an additional online account without any difficulties.

Rules and limitations introduced by Vkontakte when registering multiple accounts

There is no accounts' number limit for one person in VK, but there are some rules:

1. Don't re-add your mobile phone number several times without a necessity.
2. Remember: you are allowed to re-add a number for a few times only.
3. When repeatedly binding and unbinding a number or transferring an account to friends, you can lose your VK page.

Alternative ways to register VK accounts without a personal number

Mandatory condition: to complete the login to Vkontakte, you need to pass identity verification through a contact mobile number. If it has already been used to create an account, it would not be possible to bind it for the second time.

In this case, there are at least three ways to register another Vkontakte account:

1. Buy another SIM card (expensive and inconvenient, so not everyone wants to buy two or three SIM cards to go through verification);
2. Borrow a contact mobile phone number from a friend who is not going to register a profile in this social network (unreliable, since this friend may change their mind);
3. Purchase a virtual number, for example, using the SMS-Activate platform (using this method, logging into VK will be much easier and safer).

Advantages of using a virtual number for VK

To avoid possible blockings and protect data when logging in to your account, it is more reliable to purchase a temporary contact mobile number to create an additional account. It does not need a SIM card or a specific device, as communication is carried out via the Internet with the help of special software.

Advantages:

1. You don't need to buy an additional SIM card to register a new account on a social network.
2. You can safely create accounts for your business, to sell them on stock exchanges or for personal purposes, such as getting promo codes.
3. You can use a temporary contact phone number from another country to create a profile on a website or in an app that has geographical restrictions.
4. You can remain anonymous on the Internet.

Step-by-step instructions on how to register a second VK account with a virtual number

Let's take a closer look at how to register one more online profile through the SMS-Activate service. You can choose the time period of purchasing a number on the website - 20 minutes (activation) or a certain number of hours, days, weeks (rent). It takes a few minutes to create a new account, so it's worth choosing the activation service. But if you want to be sure that you can restore access to the account at any time, we advise you to rent a contact phone number for a long period of time. During the rental time, the number will be assigned only to you.

Next steps:

1. Pass authorization in the personal account: sign up or log in using mail or Telegram.
2. Top up balance with the necessary amount.
3. Find the social network by searching for services.
4. Choose a country.
5. Specify how many temporary numbers you want to purchase and add them to the cart by clicking on a special icon. Data will appear in the "Activations" tab.
6. Open VK in the mobile application or browser.

7. Leave the old page by clicking on "Sign in to another account".
8. Enter the digits of your virtual number in the line of login to VK by phone number.
9. The system will make a call to this number and ask you to enter the last digits. There is a service called "Verification by number" on the SMS-Activate platform, but this type of mobile data is issued only for 5 minutes. This time may not be enough to finish registration. So, in this case you should wait for a couple of minutes when the option to send SMS appears. Click on the corresponding button.
10. Verification code will appear in the activation card. Enter the code for verification. If for some reason it does not arrive within 20 minutes, the money will be returned to your balance.

11. Perform further actions.
12. Go to the settings, click the "Protect your account" button to enter a new password.
13. Enter the received code.
14. Create a password.
15. Your account is successfully registered! Now you can log in to Vkontakte using your phone number and password.

Some recommendations that will help you avoid a ban:

• don't buy existing accounts;
• clear the cache in your browser;
• open another browser, but not the one you use to access the main page;
• after creating an account, try to fill out the information in it as detailed as possible;
• do not perform any mass actions within the first 24 hours.

Selecting a virtual number: what to pay attention to

• Determine what purpose you need another Vkontakte account for: short-term or long-term use, to conduct and expand your business or for personal tasks.
• ВChoose the service that provides temporary numbers, which has good reviews and rating, which means that a platform values its reputation.
• Pay attention to the cost of a number and its functionality. Is it possible to access the necessary site? Is it possible to verify the account by different methods?

To test the functionality of the SMS-Activate service, just try free numbers. But do not use them for important accounts! The code from SMS is sent to the same tab where all numbers are published, so all users can see the info of free numbers.

Thus, if you want to create an additional VK account, then the easiest and safest way is to buy a temporary contact phone number, for example, using SMS-Activate. Using our tips, you will quickly create an account when logging into Vkontakte by phone number and password and will be able to fully use your new page.
