I have a whatsapp phone number for a business, but for the life of me I cannot work out how to use it within the app. I can't use their landline as I have no signal. Does anybody know the craic please?

I think they have to have whatsapp, I don't think it works for landlines?

If you've had a whatsapp conversation with them then you just hit the phone icon for that person. Did exactly that inadvertently yesterday and phoned The Lad over whatsapp rather than the mobile network.

>> I can't use their landline as I have no signal.

So the phone doesn't have Internet access - unless you're using WiFi?

Isn't the phone number associated with a WhatsApp account the user's mobile number?

All I know is that they 'offer' a whatsapp number which seems to be a mobile. I entered into online chat with them and they were as perplexed as I.

Anyway I forgot (age) that I have BT SmartTalk on the 4s which works via our home line if you have wifi access. So, I successfully called them via that app and as they say....Bob's yer Uncle. Job done.

Yep, app accesses your own contact list to make calls (just tested it).

I still use Blackberry10 as my OS and WhatsApp technically is not supported anymore but it still seems to work without issues, I use it because I don't pay for sharing pictures unlike if I send a standard text.
