Expand your business horizons by obtaining a virtual UK WhatsApp Business number. This allows seamless connection with UK clients, enhances customer service, and broadens your market reach, making it an invaluable tool for US businesses aiming to tap into the UK market efficiently.
Why should I buy a virtual UK number for WhatsApp?
If you run a business in the US that also serves clients in the UK, getting a virtual UK number for WhatsApp Business can be hugely helpful to improve communication with your UK clients. By having a local number, a US business can facilitate seamless and more direct interactions, helping build trust and credibility among UK customers, who often appreciate having local touchpoints.
A UK WhatsApp Business number can significantly enhance customer service. It allows US businesses to offer real-time support in a time zone that aligns more closely with their UK clients’ schedules, boosting customer satisfaction and loyalty. This local presence can also simplify transactions, as clients are more likely to engage with businesses they perceive as being closer to them geographically than those that are all the way across the Atlantic.
Having a UK number as a US business provides a competitive edge by showcasing a genuine commitment to the UK market, suggesting that the business is well-versed in local market dynamics and consumer preferences, positioning itself as a serious contender in the region rather than just a US focused firm that “happens” to also sell in the UK. This offers the chance to easily differentiate from competitors without this option, and a virtual number for WhatsApp Business lets your business take advantage of the many benefits of this platform while also still reaching new target markets.
Why should I choose YourBusinessNumber for my Virtual WhatsApp number?
Great question! The reality is that very few suppliers currently offer a service similar to YourBusinessNumber.
With us, you can get a virtual UK cellphone number to use for verification on any of the popular instant messaging apps, without needing a specific phone number app installation.
Other providers will require you to install a separate phone number app into your phone to access the service – but with YourBusinessNumber, you don’t have to worry about that. It couldn’t be easier.
Sounds great. So how can I buy a UK number for WhatsApp?

Install Dual WhatsApp Apps On Your Phone
The first step is WhatsApp registration.
You’ll need to install and verify both WhatsApp Messenger and WhatsApp Business on your phone.
The process is largely the same whether you have an Android device or iOS device. iOS users can download from the App Store, while Android users will need to use the Google Play Store.
Each WhatsApp app will require a separate number for verification purposes, so if you use your current cellphone number for the WhatsApp Messenger app (for private use, contacting family and friends), you will need to use your new virtual phone number to create a new WhatsApp account for the Business app.

Use your new virtual UK number to verify WhatsApp
Once you have both phone numbers, you can complete the WhatsApp verification for both apps.
Use your real phone number for WhatsApp Messenger and your virtual UK number to verify your new account with WhatsApp Business.
WhatsApp will send an SMS verification code to confirm your Business account, and once you receive it using the virtual phone number (or virtual numbers) you can complete verification.
Enjoy the advantages of having separate WhatsApps on one device with a genuine UK number
That’s it – you’re ready to go! Next you can set up your WhatsApp profile for the UK side of your business. Include your business name, profile picture (such as a company logo or professional headshot), your business location and a business category. Many users showcase and share their products and services with customers by creating a catalog, visible on your business profile.
There are so many benefits to using dual WhatsApp accounts on a single device, including:
- Saving money. Get all the benefits of having two numbers without needing to purchase additional handsets or pay for costly SIM contracts.
- Privacy. Keep your existing cellphone number private and separate out your personal and professional messages, meaning less risk of accidental crossover.
- Better work-life balance. You can set your Business account to silent during your out-of-office hours, meaning that you can protect your precious leisure time to switch off and unwind.
- Business Tools. Make the most of your new Business account and explore all the tools at your disposal, from Quick Replies and Short Links to Contact Labels and Message Statistics. Find out more here: How WhatsApp Business Helps You Connect With Clients.
- Better visibility of messages. When you’re a self-employed contractor or a busy professional, it can be difficult to keep on top of all your incoming messages – a problem that is significantly worse when messages from family, friends, clients and colleagues are all jumbled up together. By separating them out into two apps and using Contact Labels and Auto Replies, you can easily see at a glance which messages you’ve dealt with and which ones you haven’t.
