In markets like India (one of Whatsapp's largest) landline phones have been obsolete for nearly a decade now. It's not a forward-looking feature.
Tons of businesses in India are already using Whatsapp here in India. It's a huge and critical part of the economy now.
- jeffmould 9y agoI can appreciate that. Unfortunately, here in the US most businesses still all rely on some form of landline number. For many, this is more a virtual number(s) through some VoIP provider. It would be nice to see WhatsApp integrate with some of the players in that market as an "add-on" feature to their services.
- tome 9y agoStaples (UK) didn't allow me to set up a business account because my company didn't have a landline number.
