Watch Kinopoisk for free

There are movies that are available to watch exclusively on certain online movie theater sites. But not all people have an opportunity to purchase a paid subscription. What to do if you want to watch Kinopoisk for free? There is a way to save money.

Watch Kinopoisk without a subscription: an overview of possibilities

Previously, there were several ways to watch movies on the service for free, but now only one is still working seamlessly:

1. Use the lifehack with “ss”, “gg”, “free” and “top”. The method worked as follows: users inserted one of these combinations of letters in the address bar right before kinopoisk.ru and got free access to videos. But over time, the method either stopped working completely, or was active only for a small part of the Kinopoisk movie library.
2. Join a friend's subscription. Using the Yandex.Plus account, which includes access to Kinopoisk, you can add up to three people. This will allow four people to use the capabilities of the movie service at once. But the method is also not reliable enough: you may not have a generous friend or they may change their mind in the future to give you one of the free spaces.
3. Buy a virtual number for registration on a special service, for example, SMS-Activate. This way you can watch movies on Kinopoisk legally and practically for free: you get a trial period of 30 days, after its expiration you buy another number, create another account and extend the use of online cinema. Details can be found below.

Benefits of a virtual number for accessing Kinopoisk

A virtual number is a temporary phone number that doesn't need a SIM card or a specific device to register a new account on a desired site via an SMS, voice bot or call.

What's the advantage of using a disposable number to access an online movie theater? It will help you save money and stop torturing yourself in trying to figure out how to watch free video content on Kinopoisk. You pay only for the purchase of a number (its cost starts from 1 ruble), and get a trial period of 30 days for free. If you change your account every month, it will allow you to spend much less money than if you buy a full Yandex.Plus subscription with access to Kinopoisk for 299 rubles.

In addition, a disposable number purchased on SMS-Activate may be needed for:

• mass creation of accounts and selling them on a special exchange;
• commercial mailings and promotion of goods and services online;
• receiving bonuses, promo codes, discounts;
• registering on different sites, such as Netflix;
• maintaining anonymity.
