How to use WhatsApp with your landline number

How to use WhatsApp without your mobile number

Step 1

Of course, you are first supposed to download and install the regular WhatsApp or its Business app. Then, open the WhatsApp app on your mobile phone, tablet, laptop or any other WhatsApp compatible device.

Step 2
The WhatsApp app will then prompt you to select your country code and accordingly register a 10-digit mobile number. Here, you can also enter a landline number.

Step 3
The app will then verify your number either by calling or SMS method. It will first send a verification message to the entered number. But, as you will be adding your landline number, you will not receive any message. You then have to wait for a minute, after which the verification by SMS will fail. You can then opt for the other “Call Me” option. You just have to tap on that option to get a call on the landline to complete the verification process.

Step 4
Once you tap on the call option, you will receive a call on your landline number, and an automatic voice will spell out a 6-digit verification code, so that you don’t miss any number.

You then have to type the same verification code into the app to access WhatsApp with your landline number. Once the verification is complete, simply complete the regular setup process, including setting up your profile photo, name and more.
