WhatsApp is a free and popular messaging service used by millions of people around the world. To use WhatsApp, users need to receive a verification code through their mobile phone number to activate the account. While there is no formal way to bypass verification codes, it's easy to generate an alternate toll-free number to complete the activation process. This is quite useful if you do not have a phone or do not want to use your mobile number to sign up for WhatsApp. This wikiHow teaches you how to activate WhatsApp without a mobile number on any iOS or Android device, and how to activate your account on a Windows PC without a phone.
