Free with every number

WhatsApp Business on your landline number.

Customers can message and WhatsApp-call your business number instead of your personal mobile. It takes five minutes and costs nothing extra.

NZ$24.99 a monthUp to 120 minutes a month to a New Zealand mobile included, then 20c a minute.

How to set it up

1. Install WhatsApp Business from the app store (it runs alongside your personal WhatsApp).
2. When it asks for a phone number, enter your Landline for Mobile number.
3. Choose “Call me” instead of SMS when WhatsApp offers verification options. WhatsApp will ring your landline number — which rings your mobile — and read out a six-digit code.
4. Type the code in. Done — your business number now has its own WhatsApp.

Good to know

• Calls and messages made through WhatsApp use data, not minutes, so they don't count towards forwarding.
• If WhatsApp only offers SMS verification at first, wait for the timer to run out and the “Call me” option appears.
• Set your working hours in WhatsApp Business too — it has its own away message.
