Can I get a WhatsApp code on a UK number?
Yes. PVA Codes has UK numbers that receive WhatsApp verification codes, from $0.70 per delivered code. The number is assigned to you alone, the code shows on screen as soon as it lands, and nothing is charged unless it does.
Why WhatsApp needs a UK number
WhatsApp verifies every new account by SMS and checks which ranges it accepts. UK +44 7 mobile numbers that pass WhatsApp verification are useful for a UK-facing account without a UK SIM.
The number is the WhatsApp account. After registering, set a two-step verification PIN and an email address so the account stays protected once the number is released.
How WhatsApp uses your number
WhatsApp has no username or password: the phone number is the account. It sends a six-digit code by SMS when an account is registered, and again whenever that account is set up on another phone.
WhatsApp numbers are currently listed for 188 countries on PVA Codes, with 2 separate UK options live for this combination right now. Stock and pricing move with demand, so the figures on this page are read from the live catalogue each time it loads rather than being typed in by hand.
What people use it for

WhatsApp tips that save a second attempt
Turn on two-step verification straight away
In Settings → Account → Two-step verification, set a PIN. Once the number has been released, that PIN is what protects the account if anyone tries to register the number again.
Add an email address to the account
WhatsApp lets you add a verified email under Settings → Account. It gives you a second way to confirm the account and a way to reset the two-step PIN.
Choose SMS, not a call
Only SMS codes can be received on these numbers. If WhatsApp offers a voice call, wait for the SMS timer instead of choosing the call.
What a UK number looks like
10 digits after the country code (the leading 0 is dropped internationally)
UK mobile numbers begin 07 nationally, written +44 7... in international format. Only 07 ranges receive SMS.
Writing the number as +44 07..., keeping the trunk 0 after the country code, is the usual reason a correctly-owned UK number fails to receive a code.
When a WhatsApp code does not arrive
A WhatsApp code that never lands on a UK number almost always comes down to one of the causes below. None of them cost you anything, since an order that receives no code is never charged. Knowing which one you have hit simply saves repeating the same attempt.
WhatsApp offers a voice call instead of an SMS
Wait for the SMS timer. Only SMS codes can be received on these numbers.
The code arrives but WhatsApp says it is wrong
Use the newest code on the order page. Each new request replaces the previous code.
The number was entered in the wrong format
Writing the number as +44 07..., keeping the trunk 0 after the country code, is the usual reason a correctly-owned UK number fails to receive a code. The number is shown on your order page in the form +44 7XXX XXXXXX. Copy it exactly as displayed.
The number is not a UK mobile range WhatsApp accepts
UK mobile numbers begin 07 nationally, written +44 7... in international format. Only 07 ranges receive SMS. Services also filter ranges they classify as virtual, which happens at the gateway rather than on the form, so a number can be accepted on screen and still receive nothing.
Compared with the alternatives
| Option | Cost to get one code | Needs a local SIM or ID | Pay if no code arrives |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVA Codes (this page) | from $0.70 | No | No |
| Prepaid SIM bought in UK | Price of the SIM plus credit | Yes, usually in person | Yes |
| VoIP or app number (+44 range) | Often free or a monthly fee | No | Yes, and often refused outright |
| Public shared inbox | Free | No | No, but anyone can read the code and the number is usually already registered |
If a free public inbox suits your purpose, we run one too: see free SMS numbers. It is free and shared with everyone, which is exactly why it will not work for WhatsApp.
