Virtual Number for WhatsApp Business
WhatsApp Business is a separate free app from Meta for small businesses: you get a business profile with hours and address, a product catalog, quick replies, greeting and away messages, and labels for sorting chats. Each copy is registered to one number, and that number can't be active in regular WhatsApp at the same time. Many owners want a second number so work chats stay out of their personal WhatsApp. Noir SMS reserves a mobile number for WhatsApp Business for 20 minutes, shows the code in your dashboard, and refunds you automatically if no SMS arrives. This covers the free app, not the WhatsApp Business Platform (API).

Quick answer
Yes. The WhatsApp Business app needs its own phone number, verified with a 6-digit SMS code, and can run on the same phone as your personal WhatsApp if the numbers differ. Rent a US, Canada or UK number for WhatsApp Business on Noir SMS, enter it in the app, and copy the code from your dashboard. If no SMS arrives within 20 minutes, you're refunded. Customers will see this number, so think about the long term.

How to get your WhatsApp Business code
Register in the WhatsApp Business app
Install WhatsApp Business (it can sit beside regular WhatsApp), choose Use a different number if asked, select +1 or +44 and enter the number.
Verify and build your profile
Enter the 6-digit code from your dashboard, turn on two-step verification, then fill in your business name, category, hours and catalog.
Before you verify WhatsApp Business
Two apps, two numbers, one phone
WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business can both be installed on one phone, each with its own number. Your personal contacts keep your main number; customers only see the business one.
Customers will save this number
A business number ends up on cards, websites and order receipts. A rented number is single-use and recycled later, and it can't take calls. For a business you'll run for years, consider moving to a number you own with Change number in settings.
Lock it with two-step verification
Set a PIN and an email under Settings > Account > Two-step verification. That protects the business account if the number is ever re-used, and it's your way back in after a reinstall.

WhatsApp Business virtual number: FAQ
Can I use WhatsApp Business and personal WhatsApp on the same phone?
Yes, as long as each app uses a different number. Install WhatsApp Business next to WhatsApp, register it to a separate number such as one from Noir SMS, and keep personal and work chats apart.
Can I use a virtual number for WhatsApp Business?
Yes. The app only needs a number that can receive its 6-digit SMS code. Noir SMS numbers are carrier mobile numbers, so WhatsApp usually accepts them. Choose Text, not Call me, because our numbers receive SMS only.
Is this the same as the WhatsApp Business API?
No. This is for the free WhatsApp Business app on a phone. The WhatsApp Business Platform (API) used by larger companies through providers has its own onboarding, which Noir SMS doesn't cover. (Noir SMS does have its own REST API for buying numbers and reading codes from your software: see /api/docs/.)
What happens if I reinstall WhatsApp Business later?
WhatsApp will ask for a new SMS code to the business number, and a rented number may be gone by then. Two-step verification and chat backups help, but for long-term use, switch the business account to a number you own while you still have access.
Is it allowed to run WhatsApp Business on a temporary number?
Yes, for your own genuine business and within WhatsApp's Business terms and Commerce Policy. Noir SMS may only be used for your own legitimate accounts. Bulk or unsolicited messaging, fake businesses, scams and getting around a WhatsApp ban are prohibited, and WhatsApp bans numbers used that way.
