Before you start
What you need to activate WhatsApp
A 2Chat account
Sign up for free and keep the 2Chat web app open on your computer during activation. Your code arrives there.
WhatsApp on your phone
WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business installed. A fresh install works best because it clears previous sessions.
Mobile data connection
Turn off any VPN and prefer mobile data over WiFi while you verify. It reduces failed attempts.
Step by step
Activate WhatsApp on a virtual number in five simple steps
The whole process usually takes less than 10 minutes, from buying the number to sending your first message.
Buy your virtual number on 2Chat
Create your 2Chat account, pick a country, and buy a virtual number. 2Chat shows you if the number is compatible with WhatsApp before you pay, so there are no surprises.
Browse numbers by countryOpen WhatsApp and enter your new number
On your phone, open WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business and register using your new virtual number, including the country code.
Request the verification code
WhatsApp first tries to send the code by SMS. If your number doesn't support SMS, wait for the timer, tap "Didn't receive code?", and choose the phone call option instead.
Receive the code in 2Chat
The code arrives in your 2Chat inbox: as a text message if your number supports SMS, or as a phone call you answer from your browser. Make sure you appear as available in 2Chat.
Enter the code and start chatting
Type the 6-digit code into WhatsApp. That's it: your virtual number is now a working WhatsApp line for your business.
Verification code
OTP by SMS or phone call, depending on your number
Not every number type supports SMS. 2Chat handles both delivery methods, so you can always complete the WhatsApp verification.
By SMS
If your number supports SMS, the WhatsApp code lands in your 2Chat inbox as a regular text message. Copy it and paste it into WhatsApp.
By phone call
If SMS is not supported, request a call from WhatsApp. Answer it in 2Chat from your browser and write down the code you hear. The call option can take a few minutes to become available; that wait is normal.
One last tip: warm up your number
WhatsApp watches new numbers closely. Start slow: chat with people you know for a few days before sending campaigns. This helps you avoid temporary blocks on a brand new line.

Frequently asked questions
Do all virtual numbers work with WhatsApp?
Most do, but not all. 2Chat shows WhatsApp compatibility for each number before you buy, so you always know what you are getting.
How do I receive the WhatsApp code on a virtual number?
By SMS if the number supports it, or by a phone call you answer in 2Chat from your browser. Either way, no SIM card is needed.
Can I use WhatsApp Business or the WhatsApp API with a virtual number?
Yes. Virtual numbers from 2Chat work with the regular WhatsApp app, WhatsApp Business, and the WhatsApp Business API (Cloud API).
The SMS never arrived. What should I do?
That is expected for numbers without SMS support. In WhatsApp, tap "Didn't receive code?" and request a phone call instead. The option can take a few minutes to appear.
How long does the whole process take?
Usually less than 10 minutes. Buying the number takes a couple of minutes, and the WhatsApp verification takes just a few more.
