You can optionally have virtual phone numbers such as Zadarma or OpenPhone There may be places where we need to use these numbers. Is a Phone Number Required when Establishing an LLC Company? We talked about the necessity of this type of phone numbers in the article.
So, can we use IP-based phone numbers with this type of SIP protocol for WhatsApp? We will talk about this in this article.
By connecting Whatsapp to IP-based phone numbers, we can set up a Whatsapp support line on your website or use it as a contact via WhatsApp button on your Facebook page. At this stage, since you already use standard WhatsApp with your normal number for your personal business, you can use Whatsapp business to both create a corporate environment and benefit from other advantages.
First, get the mobile application on the platform where you provided your virtual number, make the SIP settings of your IP number and make the number usable through the application.
When you configure the application and log in, you will be able to have an application like the one above. Thanks to such applications, you can receive and make calls from your phone number.
So, does Whatsapp business work on these types of numbers?
Yes, it works, you will be able to use this feature when you follow the steps below.
- the Whatsapp business version compatible with your phone from the application stores.
- Once you download and run the app, enter your virtual phone number.
- At this stage, you will be asked to verify your phone number. There are two methods for this: SMS and Phone call.
- These types of phones do not receive SMS for Whatsapp verification. To continue verification, select the verify with voice call option.
- The Whatsapp robot will send you a call through the application and read your confirmation code.
- Write down the confirmation code somewhere and end the call and enter it in the verification code section in the WhatsApp business application.
- After entering the code, your number will now be confirmed.
After installing and confirming Whatsapp Business, you can view the settings section and take a look at the business tools. In this area, there are different tools specific to businesses that are not available in classic WhatsApp. You can review these.
The chat screen is like the classic WhatsApp, but there are some special areas where you can categorize your customers by colors. There are some features such as adding products, receiving and processing orders, especially for businesses that take orders via WhatsApp.
Additionally, as I mentioned at the beginning of the article, you can connect your Whatsapp business number to your Facebook fan page and select it as a communication button, and you can use your Whatsapp business number as a communication tool for the Facebook messaging ads you place.

Greetings, is it possible to WhatsApp with Talku number, I tried but it didn't work. I wonder if I did something wrong
Hello, unfortunately it is no longer possible to get WhatsApp approval with these types of numbers.
Thanks for the detailed explanation. I just wanted to ask because it was on my mind. When I asked Zadarma and Sonetel, they said that they do not allow using the numbers on WhatsApp, otherwise they freeze the account. I bought a number from Sonetel because I thought it was safer. There is an explanation on their website regarding the subject.
“No, we do not allow our phone numbers to be used for identity verification on any 3rd party services such as Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter or similar. Doing so may cause your account to be frozen.”
I wonder how you overcame this problem?
You're welcome
We have many numbers on Sonetel and Zadarma and they all have WhatsApp installed. We have been using it for about 2 years and there has been no feedback and it has not been cancelled.
There was no need to overcome it because it was not a problem.
