Do you want to expand your operational business and acquire new numbers for individual employees and locations for use with the WhatsApp Business App?
Virtual phone numbers are the solution for this.
What is a virtual Phone Number for WhatsApp Business?
Virtual phone numbers are an alternative to classic phone numbers.
These are internet-based and do not come from a classic mobile phone provider.
Accordingly, virtual phone numbers are neither linked to a specific location, nor to a specific end device or a specific SIM card.
The underlying technology here is called Voice over Internet Protocol.
The Voice over Internet Protocol (short: VoIP) is used to host telephone numbers online and to forward telephone calls to end devices via the Internet. Various end devices can be reached and used - whether computers with an internet connection, smartphones, software-based smartphones or landline telephones. Communication works in both directions. With VoIP, your employees can just as easily reach people with traditional telephone numbers.
What are the Advantages of virtual Telephone Numbers for Businesses?
Virtual telephone numbers are not subject to any physical restrictions and are significantly more flexible than conventional telephone numbers. This results in the following advantages for companies:
- Low costs - Expenses for the procurement, installation and maintenance of physical telephone systems are eliminated.
- Easy to expand - You can obtain virtual telephone numbers with different country codes via dedicated providers.
- Can be used globally - Virtual phone numbers can be used worldwide and are not subject to local restrictions of the respective mobile phone provider.
- Separation of private and business - With virtual numbers you clearly separate both worlds.
Where can you get virtual Phone Numbers for use with WhatsApp Business?
There are various providers for cloud telephony and virtual numbers. Well-known providers here are, for example, Twilio, Zoom Phone or Placetel.
However, the use of such cloud systems and the purchase of new phone numbers is only suitable to a limited extent for the extended use of the WhatsApp Business app.
Limitations and Alternatives
No matter how many virtual numbers you purchase for employees or locations via the providers mentioned - the WhatsApp Business App can only be used on four desktop devices and only one mobile device at a time.
You cannot circumvent these restrictions with any cloud telephony systems. Such platforms do not support the use of WhatsApp Business.
The solution here is messaging solution providers. With software solutions from such providers, you are able to exploit the advantages of WhatsApp Business and virtual phone numbers and:
- Use WhatsApp Business with any number of users and devices in compliance with the GDPR.
- Acquire new virtual numbers and expand the use of WhatsApp Business.
You can order new numbers and users for WhatsApp Business directly from the software. 👇🏼
