I just realized this. When I got the laptop, the contract with the carrier still had one month left. That’s when I created my WhatsApp account, and I’ve never used the phone number since (guess I really don’t use any other shitty software). Thanks for bringing this to my attention because I would have definitely tried to use it and be very disappointed :)
You need the sim alive to recieve set up and confirmation sms. At least for whatsapp.
