In the past 2 months, I've bought over 5 simcards, all which have been blocked by WhatsApp. It happens that after some minutes of setting up my account and I proceed to chat with some friends (though they aren't in my contact list, but I have their numbers off hand). Viola, next thing I'd get is a message to verify my number and after that fiam my line is banned from using Whatsapp.. that's after it has been reviewed.

Yesterday, it was an old Airtel line. I had just finished setting up my account and was already chatting with 2 people when the message came. I even used FMWhatsapp to open the account o, as I can't have 2 GBWhatsapp in my phone cos I use the later in my main line.

Pls who else has experienced such thing before?

You still dey use GB and fm

Franklyspeakin:
You still dey use GB and fm

I use the former on my main line for over 5 years and there have been no restriction so far.

I don't know if there are some banned words that keeps getting my accounts terminated. I thought FM is as strong as GB but now I know better.

Happened to me a couple of times after this rubbish yahoo boys hacked my WhatsApp via a link someone sent to me to check for a review on …the hacker kept sending spam messages to foreigner numbers em large quantities to numerous numbers… I got to know about this when I linked my WhatsApp to my laptop via WhatsApp web.


The solution...
Reset and format that phone to clear it of the installed bug...you might have unknowingly entered a link you shouldn't have and bug fixed in your phone where by someone has or is in charge of your WhatsApp..no matter the amount of sim cards bought WhatsApp will keep banning you.

My wahala with WhatsApp.
I sent WhatsApp numerous mails and query them on why they will have me ban for what I do not know about..mine was a permanent ban thou on those four numbers..I used this word to get some reason response back.."They were infringing upon my right to free communication"..that I think gave them a soft pedal..and I left them for a while.
Got a new phone and tried all three numbers and viola they all have been unrestricted and back to what's..the ban was lifted..thou I gave them evidence of what was happening and how I am not aware of it happening from my end.

Best of luck.
Contact WhatsApp and drag the case with them
