Can I use “WhatsApp” facility in my number, which I already transferred the ownership to MyOperator?

Quick answer: Yes. You can continue to use WhatsApp (personal or business) on your number even after transferring ownership to MyOperator.



How It Works


  • OTP delivery: To activate WhatsApp, you’ll need a one-time password (OTP). Since SMS from the SIM is restricted after transfer, the OTP will be routed to you via MyOperator support.
  • Multi-device login: If your WhatsApp is already linked on other devices (e.g., WhatsApp Web or companion mode), those connections remain active.
  • Business API compatibility: WhatsApp Business API continues to work with your number after ownership transfer, provided you authenticate once through the OTP process.



Steps to Activate WhatsApp After Transfer


  1. Install or open WhatsApp (personal or business) on your device.


  1. Enter your number that has been transferred to MyOperator.


  1. When prompted for OTP, contact MyOperator Support:



  • In-app chat support


  • Use this template:


     Subject: OTP Request for WhatsApp Activation

     Hi Team,

     Please share the OTP for WhatsApp activation on [your number].


  1. Enter the OTP received from MyOperator into WhatsApp.


  1. WhatsApp will confirm activation once verified.



Important Notes


  • Existing chats & media: All your existing WhatsApp chats and backups remain intact.
  • Restrictions: You cannot directly receive OTP via the old SIM after transfer. MyOperator handles OTP routing securely.
  • Multiple logins: If you were already logged into WhatsApp Web or multi-device mode before transfer, those sessions stay active until you log out manually.



What You Can Expect


  • Smooth continuation of WhatsApp services post-transfer.
  • Ability to use both personal WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business / API.
  • A clear OTP flow managed by MyOperator.
