It’s common belief that you need to verify WhatsApp on a cell phone. When you install WhatsApp it requires you to give it a phone number and it then texts you a verification code. But in fact you can use a Google Voice number or have WhatsApp provide the verification by voice call, allowing you to use a landline. So if you don’t have a cell phone or one that doesn’t permit installation of apps, you can install WhatsApp on an Ipad or Tablet and use Google Voice or your landline to verify.
That is, you can’t install WhatsApp on your mobile phone, setup your WhatsApp account, and then uninstall WhatsApp and expect things to work. This is something you might do if you don’t want to install WhatsApp on your phone but want to use WhatsApp on the web ( or set up something like the Facebook Portal which uses WhatsApp to make video calls). Unfortunately it’s not going to work.
