For businesses that frequently use WhatsApp for marketing, you already know how strict the platform’s account management rules are—for example, registering a WhatsApp account requires a valid mobile phone number for verification. Below are methods to use WhatsApp without a physical phone number:

Method 1: Link a Landline Telephone

How it works: This is a simple method that requires no mobile number, SMS, or verification code—just a landline number.
Limitation: Each landline can only be linked to one WhatsApp account, making it unsuitable for bulk use.
Best for: Businesses needing a single account with access to a landline.

Method 2: Use TextNow (Free Virtual Number, US Only)

Tool: TextNow (Android/iOS app offering free US virtual numbers and SMS services).
Steps:

  1. Install TextNow: Download the app, enter a US area code (e.g., 212, 310), select a generated number, and complete setup.
  2. Register WhatsApp: Install WhatsApp and enter the TextNow number. Keep TextNow running in the background.
  3. Verification:
    voice call verification (if not shown, wait for the SMS timer to expire and switch manually).
    -Receive the verification code via TextNow’s call or SMS.
  4. Complete Setup: Enter the code in WhatsApp to activate the account.

Method 3: Use Google Voice (Free Virtual Number, US/CA Only)

Tool: Google Voice (free US/Canada virtual numbers, requires a Google account).
Steps:

  1. Set Up Google Voice:
    -Download the app or visit voice.google.com, sign in with your Google account.
    -Choose an available US/Canada number and complete verification (may require a US IP or address).
  2. Link to WhatsApp: Enter the Google Voice number in WhatsApp and check the Google Voice app/website for the verification SMS.
  3. Verify: Enter the code to start using WhatsApp.

Method 4: Get High-Quality Accounts via iMX

For: Businesses needing bulk, multi-region WhatsApp accounts with advanced marketing features.

  • Account Sourcing: Provides global WhatsApp accounts, purchased in bulk to avoid resale risks from third-party sellers.

  2. In the iMX dashboard, connect with suppliers to purchase accounts based on region/type.

Notes:

  • Virtual numbers may face WhatsApp’s anti-spam restrictions—pair with legitimate content and account nurturing.
  • When using third-party platforms (e.g., iMX), ensure compliance with WhatsApp’s terms of service and verify account authenticity.
