Set up WhatsApp on a UK number

  1. Buy a UK number

    Sign up at callmins.com, top up $5 or more and buy a UK number ($3.00/month, no setup fee).

  2. Enter it in WhatsApp

    Install WhatsApp (or WhatsApp Business) and enter your callmins number with its country code.

  3. Enter the code

    Choose to receive the code by SMS. Open Messages in callmins and type the 6-digit code into WhatsApp.

  4. Lock it down

    Turn on two-step verification in WhatsApp (Settings → Account) so a PIN is needed to register the number again.

Keep the number while you use the account

WhatsApp can ask for a new code when you change phones or log in again. If the number lapses, it can later be given to someone else, who would receive that code. Keep renewing, or move WhatsApp to another number first.
