    As per Whatsapp support - https://faq.whatsapp.com/684051319521343/?cms_platform=android

    You’ll need to use a supported phone number. Unsupported phone numbers can’t be registered on WhatsApp and include:
    VoIP
    Landlines
    Note: Landlines are only supported on the WhatsApp Business app.
    Toll-free numbers
    Paid premium numbers
    Universal access numbers (UAN)

    As RC phone number is a VOIP number, Whatsapp doesn't allow to receive verification SMS on RC number. We are looking to check for any other alternatives, but as of now there's no solution as it's blocked from Whatsapp.

    As RingCentral numbers are VOIP, it won't work with Whatsapp out of the box. However, we are trying to figure out on how to support this in future, as this is a popular use case. Will provide an update when we have one.

    SMS for Call Queues is coming-- as in if a text is sent to a call queue number, there will be an inbox available for one agent to respond to those SMS.


    I know the core of this request is to have a shared SMS inbox where multiple people can send and receive SMS from the inbox. Our product teams are aware of this ask, but I do not have more information about if/when this segment of the ask is coming.

    Shared inboxes for SMS can be accessed through the Beetexting add-on, as this feature is not available natively in our apps. For more information or to request a demo, please reach out to your account manager or support team.
