Hi everyone!!
I am after some DESPERATE help if possible as I am locked out of my WhatsApp account and WhatsApp's customer support isn't providing the help I need in order to sort my issue out.
So basically I setup a WhatsApp account many years ago using a virtual number. At the time of registration I could receive calls to the number from WhatsApp to obtain the verification but upon updating my phone recently I cannot receive calls to the virtual number and is NOW classed as invalid by WhatsApp.
I should have been notified by WhatsApp to inform me that this number will no longer be supported and to tell me to change the number to one that has a supporting physical SIM card.
My various emails to WhatsApp support has expressed my desperation to get the account back up and running even if that means that I am given a code just to reactivate the account and change the number to a compatible number / physical SIM card mobile number then I am happy to do that.
Failing that, I also said that I am to obtain a new number with a physical sim, but I would need it linked to the virtual number account so that I can retain my chat history etc.
Finally, the handset I want to use the WhatsApp account is now rooted if that helps and I have the full backup of the account locally and on Google drive..
If anyone has a solution for this, I WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL!!
I await your reply and thanks in advance..

Hey all, I already asked this in an older but related thread, and received no replies, so I'm hoping the more specific topic here will help.
Why can we not copy from received gtalk messages? Isn't part of the point of a smart phone that we can copy say, an address someone sends us into google maps? Or a phone number?
This is the one major area of android that I believe is lacking behind WinMo. Is there an app that will allow me to copy from a gtalk message, or some system setting i can change with root?
Thanks all,

Same with the gmail app - its a big gap in functionality as far as I'm concerned.
You need to call someone who has their phone number in their email sig - you have to write it on your hand and then dial the number
I know, I had to do it the other day
I am using Dual Sim China clone phone of HTC Incredible S (Model No. S710F). The OS is android 2.3.9. The problem is described below:
All my contacts are stored in international format. ie. with country code (eg. +1 xxxxxxxxx). when I receive any call locally, it display only the number of the caller. His number already available in the contacts with country code, but he is calling locally (from same country). But if I receive any call from abroad, it displays the contact name correctly.
I am residing in QATAR. Is it related to the service provider? Is there any fix available to solve this issue?
It would be very much appreciated if someone help me.
Thanks in advance.
Can you provide screenshot?
Understood your problem. Just wanted to see more clearly
Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
I am having the same issue, but reversed.
I have contacts saved in my phone without the country code (+61 here in Australia)
Incoming calls and texts on the latest ROM I'm using MIUI V4 ICS (SGS2) don't display the contact, just the number including the country code.
In my last ROM which was MIUI also but 2.3.7 all contacts where recognised fine but regardless of country code or not but now it wont.
Is there a known fix for this, short of updating all my contacts manually.
Or is there a way to batch change all my contacts?

Part of your problem is that there was no android version 2.3.9. That is a custom knock off version that tends to come on those types of phone.
As for these issues best bet would be to ask on MIUI site as no development for MIUI is done on XDA.
First of all sorry if this thread is not in the right category..
Now moving on to my question
I have two mob numbers viz 9969 n 9664.. I used to use 9664 but I stopped using that number sometime back... However that number is still used by me for WhatsApp(the simcard being used is 9969 though)
The telecom Co. Of the 9664 number is shutting down this month end.. So I am under dilemma whether to port that number out to a different service provider (and still not use it) so that It can be used to verify on WhatsApp (I got a re verification req last week, what if it happens after the number is shut down) or shall I change my number itself on WhatsApp.. Now here's what I want to know, if I change my number on whatsapp, will it clear all my conversations incl groups? If not then will the existing convos continue on the same chat heads or different one?
TLDR version : does changing number on WhatsApp erase chats?
Particularly when others change their whatsapp number, this will start a new chat on my phone.
However, I wanted to keep the history in one single chat as it is the same person only with a new phone number.
Thanks for helping!
I just bought s9+ and this my first ever Samsung phone. been using stock android ever since. in stock phone asked which number i want to dial. google account setup and synced. no sync errors.
I have several contacts with 2 or 3 numbers saved under one name. problem is contact list one shows one number only. is there a way to get the rest? I'm stuck without a way to contact people because some people use their personal number after working hours etc...
Please help me. thank you
What version of the phone do you have, and where are you seeing only one number? My Sprint 9+ shows all numbers I have for a contact when I view it in the Contacts app.
