Yandex Taxi is a popular online taxi booking service that allows users to order a car through a mobile application. It offers various classes of vehicles, including economy, comfort, and business, as well as additional options. The service is available in many cities across Russia and some CIS countries.
To register, users are required to provide a mobile phone number. This requirement can limit the possibilities for some users. In this article, we will explore how to create a Yandex Taxi account without a phone number. We will also discuss the advantages of this approach.
The main difference between a virtual number and a real phone number is the absence of a physical SIM card. A virtual number allows you to receive SMS with activation codes directly over the internet, significantly enhancing the convenience of interacting with the service.
It is not possible to register for Yandex Taxi without a phone number through any other method. This is a mandatory part of the account creation process. However, it is important to note the limitations of virtual numbers. Their validity period is limited, but this is not an issue since the funds are returned to the user's account upon expiration. Additionally, a virtual number can only receive SMS during the registration process. Afterward, it becomes unavailable, increasing the security of the created profile. To ensure the ability to recover your account in the future, it is recommended to link it to an email address or use another suggested method.

Additionally, registering for Yandex Taxi without a phone number allows you to continuously receive discounts. The service offers discounts ranging from 300 to 500 rubles on the first rides.

To receive additional bonuses, set your birthday to a date a few days ahead.
