without a phone number?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s important to clarify one thing: a phone number is required to use WhatsApp, as it&#8217;s a phone-based app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, you can use a different number, i.e., a virtual phone number, and get access to benefits such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Avoid SIM swap attacks:<\/strong> If your SIM got cloned, not having a phone number will prevent unauthorized access to your WhatsApp account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Convenience for international <\/strong><strong>travellers<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> If you decide to use WhatsApp without a real phone number, it&#8217;s easy to keep access to your account without worrying about roaming charges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Privacy and security protection:<\/strong> WhatsApp scams are increasing rapidly, and not linking your real phone number to your account reduces risk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Managing multiple WhatsApp accounts:<\/strong> Each number is attached to one account. If you decide to use a virtual phone number, you can create different accounts and duplicate WhatsApp on your phone and manage them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Options-for-using-WhatsApp-without-a-phone-number\"><\/span>Options for using WhatsApp without a phone number<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WhatsApp requires a phone number for verification purposes, but it doesn&#8217;t have to be your personal number. This also works when <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/how-to\/email-without-phone-number\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">creating an email without a phone number<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, you can choose a virtual phone number or an eSIM like Holafly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using a virtual number for WhatsApp<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to use a virtual phone number, you can choose an app that works from Australia, like Burner or Hushed. They&#8217;ll give you a US, UK, or Canadian number, which is fine for WhatsApp, since it just needs to receive the SMS or call verification code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s how you do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose your preferred virtual number service.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sign up and purchase an available virtual phone number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Download WhatsApp and start registering a new account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter the virtual phone number and receive a code via SMS or phone call.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete your WhatsApp account setup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tip: These apps can help you create an account on other services, like creating a <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/how-to\/google-account-without-phone-number\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google account without a phone number<\/a>, as you won&#8217;t have to use your personal information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using an eSIM for WhatsApp while travelling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to use a different WhatsApp account while abroad, an <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/how-to\/what-is-esim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eSIM<\/a> can help you out. These offer international data, and you can choose a Holafly, which includes a virtual phone number to complete the setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check whether your <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/how-to\/esim-phones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">phone is eSIM-compatible<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose an eSIM provider like Holafly, which offers a virtual phone number with its <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/plans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">monthly eSIM subscription<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose the Unlimited Plan and complete the purchase to receive the QR code.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Install the eSIM and turn on data roaming to get your eSIM working.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Activate the eSIM, and when travelling, use your virtual phone number to complete the setup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-manage-WhatsApp-without-showing-your-real-number\"><\/span>How to manage WhatsApp without showing your real number<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can keep your WhatsApp account safe even if you&#8217;re not using your real phone number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adjust WhatsApp privacy settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WhatsApp has different privacy settings you can manage from the &#8220;Privacy&#8221; menu, which include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Silence calls from unknown numbers:<\/strong> You can avoid possible scam\/spam calls by silencing calls from unknown numbers. These are still shown on the &#8220;Calls&#8221; section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Change your account privacy:<\/strong> You can change your profile picture, stories, last seen, links, and statuses so they are only seen by your contacts or no one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Turn off reading confirmations:<\/strong> You can turn off the reading confirmations so no one knows whether you&#8217;ve read messages, listened to voice notes, or watched pictures\/videos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use WhatsApp Business for separation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to keep your personal account private, get a virtual phone number and install WhatsApp Business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creating an account follows the same step-by-step process as WhatsApp, and while it offers business features, you can still use it as the standard WhatsApp version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep your account secure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WhatsApp has pretty solid security standards, which is why it&#8217;s not possible to use an account without a phone number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you opt to use WhatsApp with an alternative number, go to Settings &gt; Account and activate the following features to keep your account secure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>2-step verification:<\/strong> You can create a unique 6-digit code that you&#8217;ll need to enter when opening your account on a different device.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Email address:<\/strong> You can add an email address that also needs verification, so it can be used if you have issues accessing your account or if WhatsApp needs to contact you regarding safety or client support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Passkeys:<\/strong> Enable your password or biometric settings for use when signing in to your WhatsApp account for added security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alternatives-to-WhatsApp-for-users-without-a-number\"><\/span>Alternatives to WhatsApp for users without a number<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WhatsApp&#8217;s solid security makes it impossible to use its services without a phone number. But similar to using an email without a phone number, there are alternative apps to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Telegram:<\/strong> You can <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/en-au\/blog\/how-to-use-telegram-without-a-phone-number\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">use Telegram without a phone number<\/a> in a similar way to WhatsApp. Get a virtual phone number and activate your account to start using the app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Signal:<\/strong> Another safe messaging app with high-end encryption protocols. Same as WhatsApp and Telegram, you can create an account with a virtual phone number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Session:<\/strong> While less popular, it is a messaging app you can use without a phone number by creating a unique account ID.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wire:<\/strong> Supports sign-up via email address instead of a phone number, making it a straightforward alternative for users who want to avoid phone-based verification entirely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you still need to use WhatsApp for personal or work purposes, get <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/plans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Holafly Plans<\/a>. You get unlimited data, 5G speeds, and a virtual phone number to create an account without issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On top of that, you get the <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/always-on\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Always On<\/a> perk, which gives you 1 GB of backup data each month with every eSIM purchase. Simply keep your eSIM installed and stay connected whenever you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n  <div class=\"sidebar-blog banners-blog-wide invert-banner\">\n    <div\n      class=\"sidebar-blog-widget text-color-white \"\n              style=\"background-color: #E12B57\" >\n      <div>\n                              <div class=\"illustration\">\n              <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.holafly.com\/sites\/1\/2024\/11\/locked-CTA-illustration.svg\" alt=\"\">\n            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n      <div>\n                  <div class=\"title\">\n            <p>Get an unlimited data eSIM<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n                          <div class=\"description\">\n            <br \/>Use code MYESIMNOW5 for 5% off at checkout<br \/>          <\/div>\n                                              <button class=\"btn-primary-l cta-primary\">\n              <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/\">Explore Holafly eSIMs<\/a>            <\/button>\n                                <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  \n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently-asked-questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1793168210458\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use WhatsApp on WiFi without a SIM card?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes.
