Yup, pretty much what the above person has replied. Whatsapp is actually registered on to your phone number. And how there is smartphone without a SIM slot!
And there are many methods provided here at XDA for making Whatsapp work for Wi-fi only devices, but not sure whether it will work. You can try those, by doing this google search :
Code:
site:forum.xda-developers.com how to make whatsapp work on tablets

Most involve having a phone number. The closest Ive seen is the bluestacks method.

You need a phone number... without a phone number people can't add you to there contacts and can't add you to groups etc. basically you need a number to use whatsapp..

Try this - it works for me

You will need to have a What's app account. Open the app and it will ask if it can send a SMS from your device to confirm the number. If a prompt appears say yes.
Now make sure the number you entered when creating an account is your number and it can be for any other device (even a regular phone will do)
When the app sends a message you'll receive a reply with a confirmation code on the number you have provided to the app.
The app will keep trying to confirm the device number but will fail and ask for the confirmation code. Just enter the one you received:good: on your other number.
I am not sure if it works when creating a account but it sure works with retrieving it:good:

If the phone has a sim card slot and you have any working sim card. Just insert it and do the registration then you can remove the sim card and whatsapp will continue working.

WhatsApp requires a valid SIM in order to access it. You can still access it by bypassing the phone verification process. There are sites which offers virtual numbers using which you can receive SMS; you can make use of those sites to get the verification done.
For more queries do let me know.
Cheers

Easiest Way
This is the easiest way and works for the latest version of whatsapp--
1) Install whatsapp on the device as usual
2) When it asks for number, enter any of your mobile number(non-smartphone)
3) Whatsapp will send a text message on the registered number
4) It will try to automatically verify, wait for the blue progress bar to complete(see timer)
5) Now it will ask you to enter the code sent by SMS on ur number, enter it.
6) If (5) doesn't work, you can touch on the option call me to verify by call
7) As soon as you will enter the code, whatsapp will start setting up
8) Tap continue when it comes
9) You are done !

use one time number apps
You can use an app like hushed or textplus search for it in the playstore. You get a number wich you can use to get an whatsapp account.
Hope it worked :good:

Talkatone works for me with the call function after you've waited 5 minutes

It is very possible
It is very possible to install whatsapp without using your real number, you just need to use a virtual number instead, here is a good guide for that: //whatsappformypc.com/whatsapp-for-pc-virtual-number
follow it up and you will be good to go

I am so lost and any suggestion on how I can activate Viber on my phone?

[GUIDE] whatsapp on tablet s [easy step by step tutorial]

Anyone intertested in installing whatsapp on your tablet s?
- need root and rooted android phone
I know this method from my asus transformer but it works here also now we have root.
- root your phone
- install whatsapp on your phone
- install TB (titanium back up) on your phone
- with TB make a back up of whatsapp
- open file manager on your phone and look for TB folder
- take the 3 files with the whatsapp name in them and move these to your tablet s
- root your tablet
- install TB on your tablet
- open TB on your tablet
- in file manager go to TB folder
- move the 3 whatsapp files taken from the phone and place them in the TB folder
- open TB and "restore" your whatsapp
You now have whatsapp on your tablet s using the phone number of you mobile phone
Whatsapp wont like it when you have 2 sessions with the same phone number so it is a good idea to do this with another sim card in your phone, this than will be your tablet s phone number.
Just tested it and it works great, you CAN see the names of your contacts to if you enable it in menu :
in whatsapp :
- settings button
- settings
- more
- show all contacts
Easy as that
If there are problems just ask
Ive installed whatsapp on my cheap ass qware pro 3 running ics, This must work on other devices aswell i guess.
1) Go to your contact list on your mobile phone, From the menu "import/export" choosse "export to sd".
2)Copy the exported file to your tablets SD card.
3)Install whatsapp on your tablet from the market or the official wbsite.
4)In whatsapp you fill in an old number of a mobile that still works (whatsapp cant be on 1 phone number on 2 devices), Or like i did fill in your "house phone, land line" number.
5)Whatsapp now wants to verify your number. choosse to recieve the confirmation code by phone call.
6)Enter the code and voila a working whatsapp.
7)Import the contact list file you placed on the SD card and you now have your complete contact list in whatsapp.
Happy texting!

Hi, I have tried this method on my HP TP with CyanogenMOD CM9 Alpha 2 , but when I open the program, and click the I agree button, a message pops up and says Whatsapp curerntly doesn't work on Tablets and didn't even gave me e a chance to enter anything. Anyway to get around that?
Everyone! I managed to make WHATSAPP work on my tablet using the following procedure:
1. Registered my no. with whatsapp on my phone.
2. Used titanium backup to backup the app.
3. Restored the app + data
4. When it starts, it may say that the tablet isn't compatible.
5. Kill the app and restore only the data.
6. Run the app and voila!
If you don't have a smart phone how can i install this app on my tablet.
is there a way like getting data out of a virtual android system on PC?
Im managed to run a virtual android system on PC with a working wathsapp and i can talk to my friends because virtual 3G but i want this on tablet to that use only wifi connection.
Root my tablet is atm not possible because kernel 10. (Sony Tablet S)
Well it doesnt matter, smartphone or virtual. If ur tab isnt rooted, you cant do a thing. Use condi's guide to root it. Either use pre-rooted ics or upgrade to 3.2.1r2 which might change the kernel. Then you can do whatsapp on ur tab.
Im not sure if that would be possible to pre root ect. Android 4.0.3 kernel 2.6.39.4 build 9#1 tab comes from USA.

This is already on ICS - currently there is no root for ICS. Sorry.
OM
I gona check out for it.
Whatsapp from Wildfire S running CM7 to Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (rooted)
What would be a strategy to get the Whatsapp app ported from the CM7-based device to an ICS based one? TB has the app disabled (name has a strike-through effect), and it doesn't install onto tablet.
Ideas?
Can I get the messages on both units (phone and tablet)?

[Q] WhatsApp SMS verification failed on custom ROM

I found the WhatsApp failed to work (SMS verification fail) some custom ROMs like below :
http://get.cm/get/jenkins/7080/cm-9.1.0-galaxysmtd.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730954
http://get.cm/get/jenkins/7091/cm-9.1.0-pyramid.zip
and mush more I tested...
"Call me" also does not works as they said voice verification failed too many time.
Does anyone here encounter issue like me ?
Please feel free to share with us.
I have contact WhatsApp tech support mant times but they cannot help. They suggest me to ask the ROM authors. That implies WhatsApp dont like people to use ROM released by XDA experts ?
Can we conclude that : If you like custom ROM, switch to other software like LINE or KakaoTalk ... ?
Without XDA, we cannot have ICS or Jellybeam on our old device like Galaxy S or Nexus One.
Thank for eveybody here.
I got the same problem, cannot verify Whatsapp and their customer service doesn't help at all.
All the email they reply only ask u to reinstall the app which won't solve the problem.
This is really bad and if they start to ask ppl to pay for this app, that's ridiculous.

Maybe a solution
I got the same problem with whatsapp on my rooted Sprint HTC ONE running Benny's 4.3 a couple of days ago. I tried to install viber today and it also said it needs the sms verification. I didn't receive any sms so i used the call option. Once again, i waited five minutes and then uninstalled viber because I am so impatient and then some more minutes later I finally got the call. I wrote down the verification number and then tried reinstalling whatsapp, but this time the sms verification worked instantly! Hope this helps!

HI, i have installed and rstored whatsapp a million times or so, when flashing and switching between roms. last night i tried something funny, and it cost me tooo much.
I tried to install whatsapp for another number(my phone is dual sim), while sms verification was happening, it got registered via my previously registered whatsapp no. Now even after i deleted the new no. account,i am still not able to get my old account back. when i give my old number, it doesn ask for sms verification, and goes to local backup directly, but fails there and throws error. on the other hand, i can verify the account, but cannot restore all my messages.
Please help, as my msgs are quite important..!

that was simple problem, you just need to change your kernel
ID LINE : mcsyber
Line Issue
Register your line while connected via WIFI
I had the same issue. It works fine if you do it that way.
There is no need for a new kernel.
I have used Line on Siyah and Chameleon (Apolo) however after a PIT change I developed issues when going back to Apolo
Hey There,
Same problem for me. Went from an Iphone with a Line account on it, and would like to transfer it to my Android device. Wasn't able to do this so far. I saw some of you might have the same problem.
I did it through WIFI, no change.
How did you guys figure it out?
Thanks!

[WhatsApp] Recovering database / crypt key

Hello folks!
I'm from Brazil and this is my first post here, beside I have been using the forum to read and get information.
I have suddenly and without reason been banned from WhatsApp. I tried to contact support but the ban remains. They said it is unreversible.
I still have the phone and SIM Card where I used the app. I also have the Google Drive backup and the local backup
The local backup is not in the phone anymore. I have copied the files to my computer. Then I have reinstalled WhatsApp with another number and a new Database is in the phone.
I can not copy the databases files from my banned number back to the cell phone. It gives and error.
What I need is to read the messages / get the contacts from the banned number. I will use WhatsApp Viewer for this but I need the key
My phone is NOT rooted. I tried to use WhatsApp-Key-DB-Extractor-master without sucess
I woud like to know if there is any chance to retrieve the backup file, specially the key
Thanks a lot!
