ByGet a Fake Number for WhatsApp in 5 Easy Steps
WhatsApp is a free messaging app that lets users take advantage of multiple platforms to make voice and video calls. They can send texts from phones or laptops, making the service very mobile. To use WhatsApp, you will need to provide your for verification purposes. Many people are uncomfortable sharing their private numbers or other personal information and want to find other solutions for the verification process.
Why People Use Burner Phones
Protecting your personal information is essential to most people. However, when you sign up for services, they require a phone number for verification purposes. These services may include:
- Messaging apps such as WhatsApp
- Dating apps
- Chat rooms
- Social media accounts
- Free trials or subscriptions
WhatsApp has been known to use spam communication to get personal or financial information. Some people use burner phones or fake phone numbers to avoid these issues.
Why WhatsApp Asks for Phone Verification
WhatsApp collects your for verification that you are indeed a human, not a robot. Since WhatsApp is not only used for personal use but also by businesses, they want you to feel assured that your photos, documents, personal information, and messages are safe. The purpose of verification by phone number rather than just a username is to confirm that the person assigned to the account is real.
Other Ways You Can Avoid Phone Verification
Research shows that more than 80% of Americans are hesitant about providing personal information online because they are afraid it will lead to spam, unwanted ads, and data leaks. To avoid giving out their phone number, many people find other ways to bypass the phone verification process.
| Purchase Burner Phones | These cheaper, out-of-date phones are usually a pay-as-you-go service used to conceal your identity and be untraceable. However, you could be throwing your money away if you purchase a burner for verification purposes, especially if you register multiple accounts in one app. |
| Use Google Voice or Get a Temporary Number from Google | It enables the users to have a single virtual phone number that connects all their devices. It is free and can be used within the U.S. without buying a separate device. However, you will still need a valid cell phone to sign up for Google Voice. |
| Use Someone Else's Phone | It kind of defeats the privacy protection purpose, right? But if your friend doesn't mind and doesn't have an account with WhatsApp, this is an option. |
