How to create WhatsApp Business account with a landline number


WhatsApp Business does allow landline numbers, however there are a few factors to consider: 

  1. Only your own landline number may be registered. 
  2. The number you are attempting to register must be able to accept calls or SMS. 
  3. Landline numbers that are already linked to WhatsApp Business App or WhatsApp Messenger cannot be used. 
  4. A forwarded landline number cannot be used. Prior to connecting the number to WhatsApp, the forwarding code needs to be removed. 
  5. Landline numbers that are toll-free or have an IVR are not usable. 
  6. All call-blocking settings, programs, and task-killers need to be turned off. 
  7. The verification code will be sent to your landline number. 


NOTE: Getting a code might take up to 24 hours after requesting one. 
 
Setting up WhatsApp Business with a landline phone may be done by downloading the WhatsApp Business app from the Google Play Store or iOS App Store.

Decide It is necessary to alter the number at the bottom of the screen.

Verify your phone number by entering it.
A verification code will be attempted to be texted to you via WhatsApp.

Click Call Me if you can't get SMS messages on your landline.

Please enter the verification code when asked.
