WhatsApp is basically designed to be used on Mobile Phones with an active Phone Number. However, it is also possible to Use WhatsApp on PC without Mobile Phone.

There are multiple ways to use WhatsApp on PC or Mac, each method has its own advantages and disadvantages as listed below.

1. Android SDK: Installing and setting up Android SDK takes time and uses a good amount of resources on your PC.

2. Android Emulators: Android Emulators like “BlueStacks” or “Andy” create an Android like environment on your PC, allowing you to run Android Apps, including WhatsApp.

3. Third Party Software: There are some third party programs that are designed to run WhatsApp on PC. However, we are unable to recommend any of them as we haven’t tried any of these programs.

4. WhatsApp Web: Using the Desktop or Web version of WhatsApp is the official way to Use WhatsApp on PC.

However, this method still requires you to have a smartphone with an active WhatsApp Account running on it.

Before we move to any of the two methods, you will need to go through the following prerequisites for using WhatsApp without phone number and SIM card.

  • Download WhatsApp to your tablet, phone or PC if you already haven’t.
  • In case you have already installed WhatsApp to your device, check whether or not you have verified WhatsApp yet.
  • If you have already verified WhatsApp, then delete your current number from WhatsApp by uninstalling the app and reinstalling it back.

Use TextNow to Verify WhatsApp (Method#1)

The first method involves downloading a messaging app called TextNow to your phone. This messaging app gives you a unique phone number which you can enter into WhatsApp and use to verify your account.

1. Download TextNow to your device

Download the TextNow app to your device from the Google Play Store, iTunes App store or the Windows Phone Store. If you are trying to use WhatsApp on PC then you need to open your Android emulator and search for TextNow in it.

2. Open the TextNow app & Note down Your Number

Once the TextNow app is downloaded to your device, open it up and complete the setup process. Once the app is setup note down your number.

In case TextNow does not show you your number or you forgot to note down your number you can find out your TextNow number by following the steps below.

  • Android: Once the app opens on your Android phone click on the 3 line icon located in the top left corner of your Android device and you should see your phone number.
  • iPhone: Click on the 3 line icon which is located in the top left corner of your iPhone, iPod or iPad. Once you click on the 3 line icon you should be seeing your phone number.
  • Windows Phone: Once app is open navigate to the People tab and you should see your phone number.

3. Open up WhatsApp and Verify Number

Once you have noted down your TextNow number, open up WhatsApp on your phone, tablet or PC and follow steps 3.1 to 3.5 below.

3.1. Enter your TextNow Number into WhatsApp

Once you agree to the terms and conditions of WhatsApp you will be prompted to enter your number. When prompted to enter your number select your country and enter the TextNow number.

3.2. Wait for SMS Verification to Fail

Wait 5 minutes for SMS verification to fail. After SMS verification fails you will be prompted to call your number. Click on the Call Me button to receive an automated call from WhatsApp.

3.3. Get your WhatsApp Verification Number

Open the TextNow app on your device and you should be receiving a call from WhatsApp. Answer the call and an automated message from WhatsApp will be repeating your verification code numerous times. Note down your verification number.

3.4. Enter Verification Code in WhatsApp

Now, enter the verification code that you received from the automated call into WhatsApp.

3.5. Finish Setup

Finish the setup process in WhatsApp after entering your verification code. You have now successfully created a WhatsApp account without a phone number.

In case this method did not work for you, you can try using another app called textPlus or you can use the second Method below.

Use Existing Landline to Verify WhatsApp (Method#2)

The second method will be using your existing home phone/landline number to verify WhatsApp. Just follow the steps below to use WhatsApp without a mobile phone number or SIM card.

1. Open WhatsApp on your phone, tablet or PC

Open up the WhatsApp application on your phone, tablet or PC.

2. Enter Your Home Phone/Landline number

How to use WhatsApp without a smartphone

If you want to use WhatsApp without a mobile phone, there are various options for this. We present you with two options for using WhatsApp in this way.

With WhatsApp Web, you can use the corresponding messenger not only on your smartphone, but also on your computer. However, your phone must always be on the same network as the PC. You can do without a smartphone at all, but this will be discussed in the next chapter, which is about the second option.

  1. When you open WhatsApp Web, you will be shown a large QR code just to the left of the center of the screen. If you don't want to log in again every time, activate the "Stay signed in" option.
  2. Now launch WhatsApp on your smartphone and find in the menu that appears after clicking on the three dots in the upper right corner, the item "WhatsApp Web".
  3. Click on "WhatsApp Web" and select the "Scan QR code" option.
  4. Bring your smartphone to the screen of your computer with the camera and scan the code. After that you will be logged in.
  5. Note: There is no longer a need to log in to this computer. However, the PC and smartphone must always be on the same WLAN network.

If you want to do without a smartphone, this is also possible. However, you will need a telephone number for this, which may belong to a landline telephone network.

First download BlueStacks App Player for Windows or Mac OS and install this software.

  1. At the top left, click on "Search" and enter "WhatsApp" there. Then select the appropriate search result.
  2. You must now sign in with your Google account. If you don't have one, you can very easily get yourself a Google account.
  3. Download WhatsApp and wait until the installation process is complete. Now you can run the application.
  4. To register, you will need a mobile or landline number that has not yet been used for WhatsApp. After that you will receive an SMS.
  5. If you cannot receive SMS, you should use a phone call. In this case, the code will be dictated to you by a computer voice.
  6. After all this, you can use WhatsApp as usual, but on a computer.

How to use WhatsApp without a phone number

Whatsapp is a widely used texting, voice calling and chatting application used by many users around the world. Whatsapp messenger is a complete messaging application that allows you to send text messages, photos, media files for free. There are versions of WhatsApp for iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Phone and Nokia, and these phones can save all your contacts and chats! WhatsApp uses the same data transfer scheme over the Internet that you use for email and web browsing. This allows you not to spend money on messages and stay in touch with friends.

Since many users use devices that do not have a SIM card like a mobile phone (for example, a tablet or desktop PC), the problem is that in order to use WhatsApp without a phone number, you need to use one trick. It happens that you cannot use your smartphone due to a breakdown. And although some service centers repair mobile phones in front of the client, troubleshooting may be delayed.

Today we are going to show you how to use WhatsApp without a phone, so you can install and set up WhatsApp on your tablet or other device without a SIM card. Follow the guide to use this hack.

First, download the latest WhatsApp from the mobile app store. We wrote earlier how to install WhatsApp for Symbian. If you are an old user, you can restore WhatsApp chats to Google Drive later. Once the download is complete, install WhatsApp on your smartphone, tablet or PC and then close it. Don't move on to the next step.

Now you will need to enter the mobile phone number to which the application will send an SMS message with a verification code. There are several free virtual number registration services on the Internet for verification in various online services. We note right away that most of them, in our case, will not work. Firstly, some services use the same number for everyone, and secondly, WhatsApp itself checks the validity of the number you enter. It is difficult to say which parameters are estimated by the messenger algorithm, but out of several inputs, it accepted only the one that was obtained using the method described here.

So, in order to successfully check the mobile phone number, you need to install applications called "Virtual SIM". This must be done, as the program will provide you with a virtual mobile phone number, to which WhatsApp will send a verification code. After registering on WhatsApp, you can delete it. As a bonus, after installing Virtual SIM, you will receive 0.
