And yet WhatsApp refuse to allow my work phone access to their network as they don't recognise the phone number as that of a mobile phone. After they asked to see documentation from my phone provider to show that it was indeed a mobile phone contract they ran out of excuses and fell back on "there's nothing we can do"

- nathancahill 9y agoNot all of them. I was lucky because I ported my carrier number to Google Voice, so telecoms still think it's a cell phone number. However, you have to try a number of GV numbers before one sticks now. This is something they've changed recently. Twilio numbers do not work, since they are now sending the verification code from a 6 digit short number, which Twilio does not support. WhatsApp has also cracked down on a number of temporary phone number services including Burner.
