They installed BlueStacks which is an Android emulator which runs on Windows. This means you can install and run any Android App within it. nice_lady - 2020-11-16 18:14:00 |
| 6 | https://www.alltechbuzz.net/use-whatsapp-without-number-sim- method three looks like the go. Enter a landline number, wait 5 minutes for the SMS verification to fail, and then choose to call you with an automated message and code. No idea if it actually works though... king1 - 2020-11-16 18:53:00 |
| 7 | Thanks king Anyone any other ideas? lilyfield - 2020-11-16 21:34:00 |
| 8 | You do not need bluestack etc. Just download the Windows App. I am pretty sure you need a mobile number. You can buy a sim for $2 from the local supermarket and temporarily put it in a mobile phone to get the code. duncb - 2020-11-17 13:01:00 |
| 9 | @lilyfield - it is WhatsApp, and sounds like you are trying to use the online version: https://web.whatsapp.com/ Bad news is that this does not work. You need a smartphone and SIM. When I used the web version, the phone had to also be connected; the web version would stop working after a while until you re-established the link. I have used the Windows version of WhatsApp a lot as working in SE Asia, pretty much all the people I worked with used WhatsApp as it is encrypted, cross platform and you can set up teams of people across various companies. Good messaging product (though I am over having to use Teams, Skype, Slack, WhatsApp, SMS, Messager, Linkedin, Google Hangouts/Communicator etc and trying to remember where a message somebody sent me 3 months with details I need might be) Not sure exactly why you are trying to use an app without the mobile phone component, but only thing I can recommend is what duncb is saying - you will need a throwaway SIM at least and borrow a phone. If doing that, I would just get a very low end android phone for $50 and just use that for WhatsApp + use the Windows webapp version for keyboard and large screen gblack - 2020-11-17 14:25:00 |
| 10 | I have a very cheap phone, no money on it. Only useful for 111 calls that need neither plan nor simcard. Never ever use one to call people or text. So it looks like back to skyping.Once I have fiber installed that should improve the buffeting.only want occasional contact with sister in Germany, of course free if possible. lilyfield - 2020-11-17 16:17:00 |
| 11 | There's endless ways to video chat thru the internet. What type of connection do you currently have? nice_lady - 2020-11-17 16:41:00 |
| 12 | Standard copper line, average downspeed. lilyfield - 2020-11-17 19:58:00 |

Then yeah your current chances of good video chat aren't good. Fibre will cure that for sure. nice_lady - 2020-11-17 20:28:00 |
