WhatsApp

Post by Mr Onion »

OK, this has both of us stumped. Not that either of us want WhatsApp but Mrs O's nieces have set up a family WhatsApp group and she has spent the whole afternoon not joining it.

The phone number is entered correctly but gets a message about the number being incorrect (and yes its being inputted as +44 7xxxx xxx xxx) and the automated "we will call you" crashes as soon as she hits "press 2 to continue"

Other than a big hammer has anyone any ideas?

Have the nieces posted anything on the Group? Mrs O should receive that if they have her number right and she can then respond or post.

Well we give up. Another days swearing at the iPhone and we are no further forward. She can not activate WhatsApp on her phone. She had a friend who has more knowledge of iThings than either of us around and shes stumped as well.

I can get it working on my Samsung phone without a problem (not that I want it) so its got to be her iPhone not liking WhatsApp (or WhatsApp not liking her iPhone) Either way we are forgetting all about it.

Oh, and WhatsApp help was no help either, just a series or automated responses.

That's a shame though. WhatsApp is basically free calls to anywhere in the world even if you don't use groups. Useful for MMS too as most networks charge for that.

You are not going to believe this, but she said "Right, I'll try once more then its going in the bin"

I think it heard her as shes has now activated it using the exact same information and method that failed previously. Sodding computers xss09 xss24

Computers are one thing, smartphones are another and there is only one way of dealing with them
