Virtual numbers are mainly used in the context of WhatsApp marketing, where businesses send broadcast messages or WhatsApp automation to all their customers. This way, you avoid using your own personal WhatsApp number which protects your privacy and anonymity.

Getting a WhatsApp virtual number with NovoChat gives you a verified number so that you don’t get flagged for spam by your customers. Moreover, it only costs $9/month.
