5 practical methods for 2025
- Use a USA virtual number from SMSPVA for WhatsApp verification. This method lets you receive the OTP by SMS on a temporary number. See USA WhatsApp numbers for details.
- Use a landline or voice option if supported by WhatsApp during verification. Select “Call me” to receive the code by voice. This works with numbers that can handle voice calls.
- Try a reputable online number provider like Google Voice or TextNow where available. These services can deliver OTP to your number for verification where permitted.
- Use a dedicated testing number provided by a WhatsApp API sandbox or developer account, where permitted, for verifying flows during development.
- Combine with a temporary number to verify WhatsApp during onboarding, then switch back to your primary privacy strategy if needed.
