To use WhatsApp, you need a valid phone number that you can receive an SMS or call on. Download the WhatsApp app, enter your country code and phone number, and then verify it using the code sent to your phone — once verified, your WhatsApp account is created. You can also use a virtual or landline number for business accounts if you can receive the verification code.

You can get someone’s WhatsApp number the same way you get any phone number—by asking them directly. Once you save it to your contacts, WhatsApp will automatically find them in the app.

To‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ have a WhatsApp number it is enough to have an active mobile SIM card, that is simply put the SIM in your phone, install WhatsApp, enter that number and verify it by OTP. If you desire a second WhatsApp number, then you can either use a second SIM, get a virtual number by the likes of TextNow or use WhatsApp Business that supports a different number on the same ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌device.

Another way you can get someone the WhatsApp number is just as you do any other number; by simply asking them. After saving it to the contacts, WhatsApp will automatically locate them within the app.

Here’s the cleanest way to do it:

1. Ask the person or business for their actual phone number.
2. Save it in your contacts with country code (like +1, +91, etc.).
3. Open WhatsApp → tap new chat → refresh contacts.
4. If they’re on WhatsApp, their name appears automatically.

That’s it. The only “proper” way is to get the number from the person themselves or from a publicly listed business page.

The proper way to get a WhatsApp number is to ask the person or business directly and save the number to your phone’s contacts; if they use WhatsApp, it will automatically appear, always get consent and avoid using third‑party tools to respect privacy

To get a WhatsApp number, simply use any active mobile phone number that can receive SMS or calls. Install WhatsApp, enter that number, verify it with the OTP, and it becomes your WhatsApp number. If you need a new one, buy a new SIM card and repeat the setup.

To get a WhatsApp number, first obtain an active mobile phone number from any carrier. Install WhatsApp, enter the number, and verify it using the SMS or call code sent to your phone. You can also use a secondary SIM or virtual number if supported. Once verified, the number becomes your WhatsApp contact identity.

To get a WhatsApp number, simply register using your existing mobile number. Download WhatsApp, enter your phone number, and verify it via OTP. If you need a separate WhatsApp number, buy a new SIM card or use WhatsApp Business with a different mobile number for work or professional use.
