Why WhatsApp may refuse a free number
- The number is shared, so someone may already have used it with WhatsApp.
- WhatsApp can block VoIP numbers and numbers that many people have used.
- Codes, including account recovery codes, can reach anyone who reads this number.
Didn't get the code?
Free numbers are shared, so a code can fail to arrive for reasons nobody here controls:
- Someone else may already have used the number to sign up to WhatsApp, so it refuses the number.
- WhatsApp can block VoIP numbers and numbers that many people have used, and every public number here is used by many people.
- Some services only send codes to certain countries.
VoIP and non-VoIP numbers
A VoIP number runs over the internet. It is cheap and quick to issue, and many apps reject it for verification. A non-VoIP number belongs to a mobile carrier and is tied to a SIM card. Apps accept it more often, but none of them promise to.
A private number is used by you alone, so nobody else can read your codes or reuse the number.
You'll continue on app.privasto.com to choose a number and pay. The app shows whether a number is a virtual (VoIP) line before you buy.
How to use a temp number for WhatsApp
- Pick a number from a country listed under "Countries where WhatsApp codes arrived this week".
- In WhatsApp, choose that country, enter the number without its country code and ask for the SMS code.
- Open the number's inbox here and press Refresh until the WhatsApp message arrives.
- Enter the six-digit code in WhatsApp.
Frequently asked questions
Does WhatsApp accept virtual numbers?
Sometimes. WhatsApp decides number by number, and it often refuses numbers that are shared or that it has seen before. The codes above show which public numbers it accepted recently.
Can I use an American number for WhatsApp?
Yes, if WhatsApp accepts the number. Choose United States in WhatsApp and enter the ten digits after +1.
What happens if someone else registers the same number?
WhatsApp moves the account to whoever verifies the number last, so on a public number you can lose the account. Use a private number for an account you want to keep.
Why didn't the WhatsApp code arrive?
WhatsApp may refuse a shared number or one it has seen before. Try a number from a country listed above, or a private number from $0.36.
Is it allowed to use a temp number for WhatsApp?
That depends on WhatsApp's own terms, which you should read. TemporaryNum does not help anyone get around an app's rules.
