Use WhatsApp Business with your local UK Cleartone business telephone number
If you want to make use of WhatsApp Business to communicate with your clients and suppliers, then you can do so using your business telephone number with Cleartone Communications. Rather than setting up WhatsApp on your mobile phone and giving your customers your mobile number to connect to you on, you can use your business phone number instead so they will always have the right number to call.
Please note that this service will work with any local UK Cleartone business telephone numbers we provide. It doesn’t matter that the business phone number won’t be a mobile number like normal WhatsApp.
WhatsApp Business is a totally separate app, which can be used exclusively for your Cleartone Phone number. It wont make any difference if you have bought a non-geographical number from us, such as an 0333 number or an 0800 number. Given how useful WhatsApp can be for messaging clients with important information almost instantly, it is a good marketing tool, especially when it is associated with your business number.

What is WhatsApp Business?
WhatsApp Business works in much the same way as WhatsApp. That said, it is a separate app that you will have to download via Google Play or the App Store. Handily, it is free to download onto your phone. Where WhatsApp Business differs from WhatsApp is that it was designed with small business owners in mind. It can be used to connect with current and would-be clients alike, allowing you to bring certain promotions to their attention as well as a range of products, services and even new business opportunities.
You can automate responses and associate all communications via the app with your business telephone number. As such, you can keep your personal WhatsApp correspondence completely separate from your business communications even if you have both apps downloaded onto your device.
Setting up WhatsApp Business to work with your local UK business telephone number
- With the app downloaded onto your device, open it and proceed to the initial user prompt.
- Select ‘Use a different number’ if you already have WhatsApp on your device.
- Input your Cleartone business phone number.
- WhatsApp will send a text message and also call you with an automated voice message that will read out the activation code you will need to enter into the app to get it working.
- Select ‘Call Me’ if you don’t have the verification code you need.
- Note down the code, then disconnect the call and input the code.
- WhatsApp will then give you some further options you can make use of to personalise your service.
- Try an outgoing message from your WhatsApp Business service to make sure it is coming from your business number.
