Sometimes you urgently need to register on some network. Take, for example, VKontakte. She and many like her ask for their number.
But what if you don't want to provide your number? Or has it already been used for registration (two accounts cannot be registered for one number)? Or maybe everything is so urgent that there is no time to buy another SIM card?
Whatever the circumstances, there is always a way out:
- You can ask friends or neighbors for the number. But they may not always have a free number for VK. And if it turns out, they may lie or ask for money. In addition, if they keep the number, they can easily change the password for your account;
- You can use a free disposable number to simply receive an SMS with a code;
- You can register in the IP telephony system and buy a number from them.
What is IP telephony?
IP telephony is a technology for using regular telephony via the IP protocol. Since Internet traffic is cheaper than using telephone networks, IP telephony is also cheaper. In addition, a virtual phone number is created for free. Although regular numbers are connected for a fee.
In addition, the flow of information is transmitted digitally and is necessarily compressed in order to save traffic and not transmit information garbage through channels.
You can use this number both from a computer and from a smartphone. You just need to install the application and you can start writing SMS or calling. There are also stationary devices for IP telephony. Virtual numbers are also connected to them.
Why are virtual numbers used to receive SMS?
To register on the services you need: social networks, trading platforms such as Avito, Yula, Messengers, etc. In the foreseeable past, spamming, mass following and mass liking on VK gave certain results, so dozens of accounts were needed. Now Facebook is the most relevant - numbers are used to register accounts on it. And, given the constant moderation of FB and constant bans, new accounts are constantly needed. Consequently, the services of such services for receiving SMS will be relevant for a long time.
Free disposable number for SMS
There are services that allow their users to use a toll-free number to receive an SMS with a code. It seems convenient, but there is one “but”: there are few free numbers.
You go to the service page (for example, tempsms.ru). Usually the numbers are immediately shown on the main page. And on the same page the SMS received to them is shown. That is, everyone can see your code. This is not the safest option.
The second significant drawback is that you must register before no one takes the number. Numbers may change every day or several times a day. From a budget point of view, this is not bad. From the point of view of anonymity too. Because if a whole bunch of people use one number, it will be difficult to track down any specific one. Especially if you use the number only once and with a proxy.
If you need a one-time account and don't want to spend a penny, this is ideal. But if you need a VK profile for a long time, this option will not work - if you need to receive another SMS, you will not receive it. Because the number will most likely change already. Especially considering that this SMS may only be needed months later.
Free registration by invitation
This method is perfect if you need to create a second page in VK for one number. You can send yourself an invitation by email and, using one trick, create another profile (for example, a fake one).
The invitation is a link to register a new user. It can only be sent from an existing page.
By the way, when you send an invitation, your mobile phone is not attached to it. This means that you will receive a new page that is not tied to any number.
How to register by invitation (without phone)
1. Follow the link vk.com/invite.
2. Enter the information for the future account, your email and click “Send an invitation”.
Confirmation of the action may be required. It happens like this: the system calls the mobile phone linked to the profile from a random number. You will need to indicate the last four digits of this number.
A letter from the social network will be sent to the specified email address. Don't pay any attention to him.
3. Open a new window in your browser in Incognito mode. This can usually be done through the menu or via the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+N.
4. In Incognito mode, go to the vk.com website and click “Forgot your password?”.
5. Enter the email address to which the invitation was sent and click “Next”.
The site may ask you to enter the First and Last Name that was indicated in the invitation.
6. Go to your mail and open the password recovery email. It will contain a link - open it in Incognito mode
. This can be done via the right mouse button.
7. Enter your email and desired password to log into VK in the window. Click "Submit".
8. Using the “Incognito” mode, go to the website apidog.ru and enter your data – the email address where the invitation was received and the assigned password.
9. Then go to Settings → Account and click Save.
That's all! Now you can fully use this page - open it from a computer, smartphone or tablet. You can log in both through the vk.com website and through the mobile application.
On a note. The only disadvantage of this method is that when using the page, the social network will periodically require you to enter a captcha.
Personal virtual number
It will be safer to get a virtual number for your own use. So that only you can read your SMS. Fortunately, creating a virtual phone number for free for 10 minutes is not so difficult and is still anonymous. Just don’t forget to cover the webcam with tape so that the recording of your face doesn’t get to intruders)
There are several services that do this:
- www.smstools.online
- onlinesim.ru
- qealty.ru
It is important to understand the subtle point of telephony terms, what is what. What is needed is not a virtual number, which in most cases has a reduced or missing function for receiving SMS, but a full-fledged “universal” number that allows you to receive SMS. Or a virtual number specifically for SMS.
Countrycode.org
Countrycode.org is the last IP telephony service in our review, which has a huge number of contacts in its database in all countries of the world.
The service can be used free of charge for 10 days and during this period you will be allowed to spend no more than $4 on communication.
Let's figure out how to create a virtual phone number for free using Countrycode.org:
- Select the country you are going to call. If you need a phone number just to receive an SMS to register on the site, you can specify any one.
- On the next page, in the “Get a virtual number in” window, again select the country and region where you want to get a virtual number, and click the “Instant Free Trial” button
- Next, click “Free Trial” again.
- After this, you will be asked to create an account on the service. Registration is normal: you need to provide personal data and email address, as well as why you need a virtual number - for commercial purposes or for yourself.
- Oh and click the “Continue” button.
- Next, you will activate your account using the link that will be sent to your email, and you will find yourself on a page where you will be asked to “stake out” the selected number before purchasing it. If you do not intend to use it in the future, click the red button; if you do, press the green button and indicate the method in which you will pay for the service.
- Having done this, you will find yourself on your account page. At the bottom of the window there will be a list of your virtual numbers (if you haven’t added others, you have one number). Now you can use it to register on websites.
- To read SMS, click "Manage Phone Numbers". virtual number for free.
- In the next window, in the “Call Action” column, there is a “View message” button. By clicking it, the sent message will open to you.
Note! Note! If there is no such button, it means that it does not support SMS reception and you need to replace it with another one. This can also be done without payment.

Which of these services is better?
Considering the difficulties with authorization on TextNow and the excessive overload with Countrycode.org windows, Twilio seemed to us the simplest and most convenient.
But you, of course, may have a different opinion.
Number for ten minutes online
There is another useful service that is simply ideal for registering on VK or any other network - sms–reg.com. It's paid, but no one will read your messages. There are several payment options:
- Payment for the time of use (3 hours or 24 hours);
- Payment for account activation.
The second is what interests us. That is, you pay once to receive SMS and activate your profile. Prices are low. For example, an SMS from VK costs 12 rubles. There are also smaller ones (2 rubles for Telegram, 1 ruble for WhatsApp).
For lazy people there is a separate service - ready-made accounts. They will register everything for you, but it costs more (VK registration for 25 rubles). This way you can create accounts simply in batches.
Virtual number for VK page on Twilio
It is also necessary to mention foreign services that provide online telephony services. Twilio is such a service.
Button to register on Twilio
As in many others, most of the services here are paid. But for our case, a trial account will be enough.
Here we also have to register:
- To do this, click the red “Sign in” button in the upper right corner.
- Enter your first name (First Name) and last name (Last Name) in the form.
- You must enter your email address below. It is preferable to use email from Google.
- Below, enter your password (Choose a password) and on the right, repeat it (password, again).
- Since such platforms are most often used by application developers, there is a field for choosing a programming language. Here you can select the first item - “I’m a not developer” (I’m not a developer).
- And click the "Get Started" button.
After registration, you will be asked to check your mobile phone. It will need to be entered and confirmed. In the main menu, select the SMS & MMS section and the function of renting a virtual online number for your new VK page. If you have problems with English, you may need the help of a translator. Google Translate is great for this.
