VOIP & What's app

[DeltaZulu]

Hi all,

I have an idea that I do not know if it will work.
I want to offer my customers the option send our company What's app messages to our 087 voip no. and reflect on our reception PC screen.

Any idea how this can be put together?
Thanks

If you can receive SMS's on your VOIP line, you may be able to register that number for WhatsApp, using a spare handset, then enrol your receptionist's PC to WhatsAppWeb. The spare handset will have to remain online permanently, though.

There have been some alleged tricks to allow registering a number that cannot receive SMS's. Apparently if you put the phone in flight mode when trying to register, then cancel the outgoing registration message, you can then fake an incoming SMS using a suitable app, and trick WhatsApp into registering with that number. (This may or may not work anymore)
