Does WhatsApp Business work with every number (and why not with 088)?

WhatsApp Business works with your Rinkel landline number. Find out which numbers you can use and what to do if you have an 088 number in the Netherlands.

Written by Shay Phan

WhatsApp Business works with your Rinkel landline number, such as a national or local number. WhatsApp Business comes free with every plan.

Which numbers work in your country:

🇳🇱 Netherlands
An 085 number or a regional number such as 010 or 020. WhatsApp doesn’t support 088 numbers when you verify your account. That’s down to WhatsApp, not your Rinkel settings. Have an 088 number? Add an extra 085 or regional number to your plan for €5 a month and use that for WhatsApp Business.
