Virtual number for WhatsApp
WhatsApp sends a registration code by SMS. You can receive that code on a private Inbox Number number you keep, so you can verify again later. WhatsApp may refuse some virtual numbers, so it won't work every time.
Get StartedDelivered and managed by Inbox Number: one account, one bill, one support team.
How it works
Get a US, Canadian, UK or Australian number, enter it in WhatsApp, and the code appears in your Inbox Number inbox. Keep the number active so you can receive future codes.
A private number, not a public inbox
Free receive-SMS websites post every message on a public page, so anyone can read the codes sent to those numbers. With Inbox Number the number is rented to you alone and only you can read its messages.
WhatsApp's rules
Use one number for one account you own. WhatsApp's terms prohibit automated or bulk registration, and WhatsApp decides which numbers it accepts.
Good to know
- Keep the number: WhatsApp may ask for a new code later
- Some virtual numbers are refused by WhatsApp
- For one-off codes, a one-time OTP number is refunded if no code arrives
