If you use Paige, you never need this site. Everything you need is in Settings → Numbers and Settings → WhatsApp. This page is here so you know what the site is when an email links to it, and what to do if you registered a number somewhere other than Paige.
One account, two sign-ins
The site uses the same email address and password as Paige. It is the same account, so the numbers and payments you see there are the same ones you see in Settings → Numbers. Signing in is separate, though. Signing in to Paige does not sign you in to the Numbers site, and signing in to the Numbers site does not sign you in to Paige. You sign in to each one on its own.- Already have a Paige account? Sign in on the Numbers site with the email address and password you use for Paige. You don’t create a second account.
- No account yet? You can create one on the Numbers site with your name, email address and a password, and confirm your email address with the 6-digit code that is emailed to you. You can also continue with Google.
- Sign out is in the menu behind your picture or initials at the top right. There is no separate account page.
What you see there
Before you sign in, the site shows what a number costs (R90 a month), how it works, and the numbers that are available. Once you sign in, the home page has the same layout as Settings → Numbers in Paige, all on one page:- The three setup steps: accept the terms, your details, and verify your WhatsApp number.
- The numbers you can buy. Buy this number stays greyed out until all three steps are done. Ask about a number is below the list if you need more numbers or a different one.
- Your numbers, with your payments and invoices.
What is different from Paige
The site is built for someone who registers the number in their own WhatsApp Business account, or with another WhatsApp provider. So a few things work differently.Confirming a number you registered yourself
If you register a number outside Paige, nobody can see that it worked except you. So on the site you tell us: open the number and click I’ve registered this number, then confirm. That stops the 3 day countdown. When WhatsApp sends its code to a number that is not connected to a Paige project, you get one email about 30 minutes later asking you to confirm, and reminders about 24 hours and about 6 hours before your time runs out. The button in each email opens the site at your numbers.What happens when a subscription ends
The rules are the same wherever you manage the number. Once a subscription has ended, the number is cancelled with the mobile network, and that cannot be undone.- A number you registered in your own WhatsApp Business account keeps working in WhatsApp for as long as it stays registered there. It can never be verified again, so you cannot move it to another provider or recover a lost two-step PIN.
- A number connected to a Paige project is lost. WhatsApp on it can stop at any time and cannot be recovered.
