  1. Ok, when app asks for a phone number to verify and we do and get a message from whatsapp on our phone, then what? The app does not open on the tablet. How does one open the app on the tablet, because the app just takes u to the screen where it just asks for the phone verification as before?

      • Imran, you are not understanding the problem ‘man’. His device of choice for installation is an android tablet and not an android phone. The SMS device could be received on his phone, but what is required is a method of inputting that received SMS code into the tablet. Whatsapp only provides an SMS or voice call service and you need to clarify how this code could be inputted on his tablet device.

  2. I tried 7 numbers very time the same thing , couldn’t send SMS then couldn’t call and wait for 59 mins. I got the numbers from apps like text plus magic jack and else. This is frustrated . plz help if there is any way!

    • Kindly Download Mobogenie and install Once complete open your Mobogenie App (Same Like Store) and download whatsapp messenger. This will work 1000% Inn Sha Allah.

  4. Thank you so much, I joined! I just have question: will I be charged for the data usage of my phone? The number I used is not a smart phone.

  5. It installed without a hitch. First when Whatsapp request cell # called my cell, but at first did not open to enter “verification number”, then second time, I get a call with the verification # and it opened in my tablet (4.2.1). It worked fine until I used my cell and request verification again with a statement ” WhatsApp can only be installed on one device per phone number”….so I either use it in my cell with it will be 99% of the time or the tablet. So I will stay with the cell until another way appears….thanks for all the hints!

  6. Hi
    I want to use Whatsapp on my son’s Samsung galaxy tablet but I currently have the app on my mobile phone. If I get a spare SIM card with a different number on it and use that number on the tablet would it work without being charged?
