This is why many people and companies have chosen to make WhatsApp their main channel of communication with customers. However, they realized that WhatsApp alone is not enough and that, by using this app for the aforementioned purpose, has its drawbacks. For example; the lack of a developed platform to manage inquiries, sales and organize customers.

What is the WhatsApp Business API?

The WhatsApp Business API is completely different from the WhatsApp Business app. It is specially designed for companies with an interesting number of consultants or collaborators. This version offers special, advanced and unique features and it is optimized for the corporate environment, a feature that cannot be found in normal WhatsApp Business. One of the main features is the ability to add the green sign to your WhatsApp profile allowing you to be verified as a legitimate and trustworthy company.

Any company wishing to obtain the WhatsApp API’s services will have to request or use the services of a Business Solution Provider (BSP) and a WhatsApp partner such as Callbell. In order to give you access to the API, WhatsApp requires approval of your account, which is only possible thanks to your BSP partner.

Like any other service, these have to be paid too, but investing in them is extremely worthwhile, since they allow you to get features that no other WhatsApp account that is not API has. With Callbell, you will get multiple additional benefits: these include state-of-the-art process automation and contact synchronization, shared team mailbox, centralized dashboard, automatic conversation routing, specialized metrics for sales and support teams, labelling customers and much more. Callbell gives you access to all these features.

What is WhatsApp Business?

WhatsApp Business App is a messaging application developed for companies in order to be able to open a professional, practical, safe and effective contact channel within the same WhatsApp platform. This messaging option offers several additional features than what we already know.

WhatsApp has improved this Business app by optimizing it both for the sale and for the communication of companies to their users, giving the possibility to view elements such as catalogues, company information such as address, category, activity, logo, company account verification and much more. As you can see, this app is not only for sending messages, it is a powerful and useful tool for sales, but it also has its limitations.

What are the differences between WhatsApp Business API and WhatsApp Business?

We know that WhatsApp has two versions: the normal one as the Business offers applications that can be used on both Android and iOS devices. The WhatsApp Business API does not have a true mobile interface; this means that unless BSP company provides one, you will not be able to enjoy a mobile interface on any operating system. In this case, Callbell offers a mobile application that will allow you to communicate with your customers even when you are away from a computer.

WhatsApp Business limits us the files’ size; however, in this case in the API it is our BSP that takes care of adjusting the maximum size of each file. This allows you to send unlimited messages. Generally, each BSP charges their own fees, you can see this information about Callbell here.

There is another difference between WhatsApp Business and WhatsApp Business API. The first allows you to make voice and video calls through its application, while the latter generally has no calling capability. Finally, the WhatsApp Business API used with Callbell allows you to view specialized metrics for the sales and support teams, automatic routing for your conversations and many other features that will help you sell more via WhatsApp using Callbell.

In February 2019, we implemented WhatsApp Business on our Customer Service landline number and, a bit later, on our Sales Service number. Up to this point, we have been interacting with clients on WhatsApp for several years, periodically this communication was carried out from the service mobile numbers of our managers.

As a result, our clients had different contact details of our company on their phones, while our correspondence with clients was in different accounts. But the main thing is that the correspondence in WhatsApp had to be initiated by the employees themselves, and when receiving a message from an unfamiliar mobile number, the client first of all had a completely logical suspicion that this message was from scammers.

After the implementation of WhatsApp Business with support for the official city numbers listed on our website, the number of requests from customers began to grow exponentially. The speed of solving any issues has also increased - after all, the client could simply write from his smartphone, without wasting time logging into mail services, dialing a number and waiting on the line.

All the customer needs to do is save our company's official Support/Sales Service number in their directory and send WhatsApp messages to us as needed.

Is it possible to install WhatsApp on two numbers?

WhatsApp is considered one of the most popular instant messengers (messaging programs). So, it is twice as popular as Viber and about ten times more than Telegram in terms of the number of users. With it, you can send each other text and voice messages, as well as photos and short videos. Today we will find out if it is possible to put WhatsApp on two numbers at once.

To learn how to correctly register WhatsApp, read our other article.

If your phone has two SIM cards, then, for sure, you have encountered one of the most common inconveniences of most such programs - you can only link an account to one of them. But, this problem, in fact, can be solved using some third-party programs. Below is the basic information on this subject.

According to official answers from the developers of the messenger, it is impossible to do this. One application supports the activation of only one SIM card.

But what about people for whom this is really very important? How to make WhatsApp can be installed on 2 numbers in one phone?

You can solve this problem by installing a special application on your phone and setting it up accordingly. For phones using different operating systems (for example, Android, Apple, Windows), the solution will also be different.

Also, you should be aware that transferring your WhatsApp account from one device to another too often (with a constant change of smartphones, for example) may result in blocking your account. The system perceives such actions as suspicious and temporarily freezes.

But, there is an interesting possibility to use one WhatsApp account on two different devices. Of course, this method was also not provided by the developers, but the craftsmen were able to get around this obstacle.
