Using Zoom number on WhatsApp

So, other virtual phone companies with more attention answered this:

"I'm sorry but since WhatsApp, same as other communication apps require you to get an OTP or One-time PIN code or verification code when registering, you cannot use our phone number to register.

VoIP numbers cannot receive OTPs, Verification Codes or security codes."

Opened a thread with Zoom and still no answer. Shaming them via twitter to see if that gets something going

It doesn't move beyond this point -  "This is not a valid phone number for US".
Call or SMS option will come after this only.

I can call and text internationally and I get the "This is not a valid phone number for US". What's your Zoom account plan? Maybe you're paying for a higher tier. 

Has anyone figured this out yet? Seems like this should work since we can get sms texts on our paid zoom phone subscriptions

It seems Zoom doesn't have any solution how to get message to activate Whatsapp as they can see these discussions but no responses yet.

As per the WhatsApp Help Center, they consider VOIP numbers unsupported; therefore, their platform blocks VOIP numbers during registration. You can refer to the WhatsApp Help Center for more information: https://faq.whatsapp.com/684051319521343/?cms_platform=android

No, you can’t use a Zoom number to register on WhatsApp. WhatsApp requires a mobile number that can receive SMS or voice calls for verification, which most Zoom (VoIP) numbers do not support.
