Many businesses print their landline everywhere. WhatsApp Business can be registered on a landline, so customers can message the same number they already know.
How verification works
- Install WhatsApp Business on a smartphone.
- Enter your landline number with the area code.
- When SMS verification fails, choose the option to receive a verification call.
- Answer the landline and enter the code you hear.
Steps may vary; check WhatsApp’s help centre if you have trouble.
Pros
- One number for calls and WhatsApp.
- No need to share a staff member’s personal mobile.
- Continuity if staff change.
Things to consider
- The account runs on a smartphone or linked devices, not the landline itself.
- Someone must manage the phone or desktop app daily.
