How to register on the overseas social platform VK (VKontakte), registering a VK account takes only 60 seconds!

VK (VKontakte) should be quite familiar to everyone. Unlike other overseas social platforms, VK is directly accessible in China. Additionally, VK and Telegram are from the same founder. Currently, VK has over 400 million daily active users, mainly concentrated in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and other countries. Below, I will explain some of the registration processes for VK.

How to Register a VK Account

Registering a VK account is quite simple, just directly through VK's official website. It is important to ensure that your phone number has international roaming activated, otherwise, you may not be able to register normally.

Visit VK Official Website

Open VK's official website (https://vk.com/) or VK's email official website (https://vk.mail.ru/inbox). Here, using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser is recommended. When registering using the second URL, the system will create both an account and an email. Using the first URL will not automatically generate an email, and you will need to apply separately.

Enter Phone Number

It is important to note that the default area code starts with +7. Be sure to change the prefix to the area code of the number you are using, as shown in the picture.

Receive Verification Code on Mobile

When registering a VK account, you will receive a call from the UK. You do not need to answer this call, and international calls can be expensive. Just remember the last four digits of the incoming phone number, which will be your VK registration verification code.

Fill in Personal Information

The name can be freely set, but it is recommended that both the first and last names contain at least three letters, otherwise, the registration might fail due to the name being too short. Fill in other information according to actual circumstances, and make sure the date of birth indicates an adult.

Set Login Password

The password can be freely set.

Set Email Name

You can set an email ending with @vk.com, which looks better, like this email format phy2021@vk.com. The format is the first letter of the name plus the year, which is both aesthetic and easy to remember.
