WTF..I am using a 3g modem with dashboard.My laptop is a glorified cellphone.Can someone shed some light on this.

[DJ...]

Seems your laptop is running Android, which requires the Youwave emulator. That emulator is not supported by whatsapp and therefore whatsapp will not work...

Did you do something naughty? Use some unlicenced software? Friend uses YouWave on his PC and says it works quite well, if a bit buggy

[abzo]

Did you download whatsapp directly or just installed the APK?

[Park@82]

They are probably trying to stop potential fake accounts? How does the emulator recognize the sim/cell number, or doesn't it?

Yes it work well,afaik the program is legal.I am only using it for whatsapp

I downloaded the apk from the site and loaded it on the emulator,installed it and did the registration.
I entered the 3g modem cell number,Got problems receiving the 3 digit code and proceeded with emails to helpdesk..

Perhaps if you had install and register on a mobile first and then just install and log in on the emulator it would work?

No issues on my side.

i'm 99.8% certain that it should work.

[Fudzy]

Perhaps this is a silly question but why don't WhatsApp create a client for non-GSM devices? Ie. PCs and Wifi tablets? You could marry numbers to an account easily couldn't you? It's not using some special network protocol is it?

[dablakmark8]

Ok nothing is working yet,i uninstalled the darn thing.

[dablakmark8]

SOLUTION:Installed bluestacks program,all working and using my 3g modem number for whatsapp.
The gods looked upon me and saw it was all goooooooood(gegedeegedeeerr)
