Quick Replies keep demanding customers (and yourself, for that matter) happy. With WhatsApp Business increasingly dominating interactions between customers and businesses, now is a great time to set yours up and start using them.

Don’t forget that because you can’t use the same number for WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business, you’ll need a virtual number to have both apps on the same phone. Our virtual WhatsApp Business number service offers a cost-effective, flexible solution that’s inexpensive and easy to set up: you’ll be on the go within minutes.
