VK will not let you finish without a phone number. No code, no charge: you pay nothing for a number that never receives one. SMS For U rents you a real one — pick a market, put the number into VK, and the VK code lands in your account seconds after VK sends it. VK is one of 1,400 services in the catalogue, with numbers from Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa.
How you get your code
- Open SMS For U and search for VK.
- Pick a country from the list the app shows for VK right now — that list is VK's own.
- Confirm, and the number for VK is yours straight away.
- Enter it at VK — the sign-up form — and ask VK for the code.
- The VK code appears in SMS For U on its own. Copy it back into VK.
Why a phone number is asked for
VK wants a phone number so the people in a group, server or page are talking to a person rather than to a throwaway account. VK asks for it on the sign-up form, before the account exists at all. The number goes in at: the sign-up form. VK can ask for the same number again later — on a new device, after a password change or during a routine check. Bear that in mind before you tie an account to a number you will not have access to in a month.
What the code looks like
VK sends a short numeric code by SMS, and on some accounts as a voice call instead. You do not have to go looking for it: the VK code drops into your SMS For U account by itself, seconds after VK lets it go. Codes from VK go stale fast; use it as soon as it lands rather than later. One number normally carries one VK account.
What can go wrong
VK accepts numbers from many countries but not from all of them. Which countries work for VK changes over time, because VK adjusts its checks and because the available ranges of numbers change. That is the honest state of it — we can hand you a number, we cannot make VK take it. Nothing on this page is a promise that VK will accept a number, and no success figure is printed here, because any figure would be out of date by the time you read it.
Countries we serve
Below are the 50 markets we hold numbers in, VK included. Treat them as our footprint rather than as today’s shelf: ranges run dry and are topped up again while you read this, so a market listed here may be unavailable for VK within the hour. The country screen in the app is where that question is answered honestly for VK, because it is the only thing that updates as fast as the ranges do.

Common questions
How do I get a VK verification code without my own SIM card?
Open SMS For U, search for VK and pick a country. You get a real phone number, you enter it at VK (the sign-up form), and the code VK sends appears in your SMS For U account by itself. No SIM card is involved, and the VK number is not yours to keep.
How fast does the VK code arrive?
The VK code appears in your account within seconds of VK sending it. How long VK itself takes is up to VK and to the country the number comes from, which is why nothing here is worded as a promise.
What happens if no VK code arrives?
You do not pay for a VK number that brought no code. Cancel the order in the app and the payment is refunded as soon as the cancellation is confirmed. That is the whole rule, and it is why a failed VK attempt costs nothing: no code, no charge.
Which countries can I use for VK?
VK numbers come from the 50 markets listed on this page. Which of them can be picked for VK at this moment is on the country screen in the app: that list moves through the day, and a page in a search index cannot keep up with it.
Can I use the same number for VK again later?
Sometimes. VK can ask for the same number again on a new device, and a used VK number is not reserved for you indefinitely. If you need lasting access to a VK account, use a number of your own.
