We know that WhatsApp only allows mobile phone numbers for registration. However, WhatsApp Business also allows registration with landline numbers, but excludes VoIP numbers, which are not compatible with WhatsApp’s registration process. The platform states that it only accepts mobile and landline numbers linked to local areas, and on top of that, WhatsApp can detect the use of VPNs, adding further restrictions. This is why VoIP providers cannot guarantee the compatibility of a virtual number for WhatsApp.
It is important to keep in mind that WhatsApp follows a set of strict requirements. While users may attempt to register using VoIP numbers, WhatsApp’s policy prioritizes mobile and landline numbers for registration. Therefore, it is not advisable to use virtual numbers for WhatsApp registration.
What other options do we have with VoIP numbers?
Although virtual numbers are not very useful for registering on WhatsApp, there are many other viable options for communication. VoIP numbers offer businesses flexibility and the ability to manage communication channels effectively. They also provide access to features and tools that are highly beneficial for managing business communication, such as call forwarding, welcome menus, scheduling, call transfers, and more.
