The launch of WhatsApp Business has given the messaging service a completely new dimension<\/strong>. WA Business gives companies and customers an official and secure way<\/strong> to communicate with each other and in the coming months and years; we\u2019ll see all sorts of entrepreneurs using this new facility to sell us their wares. WA Business also brings with it an interesting new function; it allows you to hook up your WhatsApp account using a landline number<\/strong> instead of your mobile number.<\/p>\n

Although WhatsApp Business is designed for use by businesses, anybody can download the app<\/strong>. You will still need a mobile phone to run the app but you\u2019ll be able to register your landline number instead of the number associated with your SIM card.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve downloaded WhatsApp Business all you have to do is tell the app that you won\u2019t be registering your mobile number<\/strong> but rather your landline. Normally WhatsApp sends an SMS to verify your number but for landlines, you\u2019ll have to select the Call Me <\/strong>option.<\/p>\n

After you receive the call and verify your number, you\u2019ll be able to use WhatsApp Business with your landline number the same you use WhatsApp with your mobile number.<\/p>\n
