How to use WhatsApp with no SIM card
WhatsApp can be used on your Android tablet, iPad, or PC.
These devices are not equipped with a SIM card. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t use your account.
You can use your existing landline to use Whatsapp even without a SIM card.
To do so:
- Open WhatsApp on your device.
- Enter your landline or home phone number
- Wait for the SMS verification to confirm that it has failed. This should take no more than five minutes
- You can select the option ‘Call me’ after an SMS failure
- You will receive a call from your landline phone when you click it
- An automated call will give you a verification number and repeat it six more times. Make sure you keep it in mind
- You can enter it in WhatsApp
- You are available to send and receive chats as well as make calls
How to set WhatsApp up with a VoIP number
A VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol) is a protocol that allows you to make and receive calls using an internet connection.
It doesn’t take a phone number or a computer to reach someone. All you need is an internet connection.
This is mainly used by businesses as they will have many calls coming in from overseas numbers. Therefore, it may be more practical to use a Voip than a landline.
You will need a VOIP phone system before you can set up WhatsApp. This can be purchased at tech shops like Currys or Argos.
You are now ready to setup WhatsApp. With the VOIP, WhatsApp Business can be downloaded.
To do so:
- Open WhatsApp on your device
- Enter the VOIP that you’ll use
- You can choose to receive a call instead of SMS
- You will receive a code for verification.
- Once verified, you are ready to use WhatsApp
