A few weeks ago, WhatsApp introduced a feature called WhatsApp Channels. To access this feature, ensure that you have the latest WhatsApp version installed. Now, you might wonder if you can create WhatsApp Channels using a Pakistani phone number. The answer is affirmative; it is possible. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Firstly, you’ll need WhatsApp Business installed.
You’ll also need a USA/UK/UAE phone number to create a WhatsApp Business account (preferably a new one).
Sign up for WhatsApp Business using a number from an eligible country like the USA, UK, or UAE.
Once successfully signed up, go to the Channel tab and create your channel.
After creating the channel, navigate to WhatsApp Settings > Account > Change Number, and input your Pakistani WhatsApp number where you want to receive or transfer the WhatsApp Channel.
Complete the OTP verification process.
To retain your previous chat history and more, log in to your Pakistani WhatsApp on the mobile device where it was previously logged in (this step is optional).
That’s it! You’re all set.
Remember to back up your Pakistani WhatsApp as this process will reset your business profile information such as description, website, email, and business hours. This method has been tested successfully using USA and UAE numbers.
Feel free to express your gratitude once you’ve completed the process.
