A prerequisite for creating a page in the most popular social network among Russians, VKontakte, is linking an account to a real mobile number. This measure was invented by the site administration for a reason. Firstly, linking the page allows you to reduce the number of fake profiles, of which there are quite a lot, and secondly, if the user forgets the password from the VKontakte website, then it will be much more convenient to restore it using SMS messages. The measure, it would seem, is quite justified. However, users no, no, yes, the question arises: “How can VKontakte untie a page from a number, and is it possible at all?”

- Deleting/changing a mobile number is possible only if one is available.
- In the process of changing the number, both phones must be turned on andactive.
