How to register on Yandex Taxi without a phone number

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.

What Is a Virtual Number for Yandex Taxi?

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.

Advantages of Registering for Yandex Taxi Without a Phone Number

Here are the key benefits:

1. Bypassing Blocks
   Some users may have been banned from the system. With a virtual number, they no longer need to purchase a new SIM card from a mobile operator to register a new account.
2. Multiple Registrations
   Need to create multiple Yandex Taxi accounts without a phone number? Virtual numbers allow you to create as many accounts as you need.
3. Protection Against Data Leaks
   It’s no secret that user data often leaks online. Even if your data is uninteresting, you may still end up in call lists for various companies. With a virtual number, this problem is avoided.
4. Anonymity
   This advantage stems from the previous point. Personal data remains securely protected since a virtual number cannot be linked to a specific individual.

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. By creating new accounts, you can repeatedly use this bonus. The registration process with a virtual number takes just a few minutes. To receive additional bonuses, set your birthday to a date a few days ahead.
