The Complete Guide to Buying an Indian Virtual Phone Number for Whatsapp

Whatsapp is a great platform for businesses to connect with their audiences. Customers almost always use Whatsapp instead of a regular messenger and would love to get updates on Whatsapp that won’t get ignored.

Trainers can form groups and take classes through Whatsapp while therapists and mentors can use Whatsapp to effectively communicate with their clients. Whatsapp is now also being used as an effective method to carry out customer support services.

However, businesses might need more than one number to connect with customers for different results. Promotional content offers, and order updates from different numbers would create a greater impact. Different numbers for different divisions, like the sales and marketing divisions, would also help businesses with their customer outreach.

But, WhatsApp requires a unique number for the creation and verification of a new account.

Now, if you need different numbers for your business, you will have to go and purchase different sim cards and recharge each of them so that they remain activated. Each of these sim cards will be loaded onto a device, and only then can someone access messages and calls through that number. Employees may also leave or become unavailable for a long time which may result in the business losing important conversations that were linked to the sim card that the employee took with them. 

And if a customer has tried contacting you on one of the old numbers there were removed from a device, you could potentially lose that customer. Managing a phone inventory also comes with the hassle of recharging each of the numbers or sharing personal numbers with customers.

Virtual Numbers solve this issue for businesses.

When you get a business account on a platform like Alohaa, you can easily purchase as many Virtual Numbers as you need. Each of these Virtual Numbers is a ten-digit number that can be shared on any platform for creating an account.
