Yes we love Whatsapp, don’t we?
Whatsapp Messenger
As one of the Top Five Messenger applications of 2013 (and the best social app in South Africa), we love to use WhatsApp Messenger to connect to friends and the world.
But there is a challenge. It doesn’t seem to work with these model of phones

Nokia 101, Nokia 110, Nokia C2-06, Nokia C2-03, Nokia 112, Asha 200, Nokia X2-02, Asha 202, Asha 308, Asha 305, Asha 310, Nokia 301. In fact many dual SIM phones in this list don’t seem to work with Whatsapp.
What then is the solution?
Required:
- A nokia Dual SIM phone (also works on any nokia phone)
- An Internet connection (you already have this anyway)
Before you begin, visit http://store.ovi.com/content/172049 or http://store.ovi.com/content/62616 on your browser to see if you can download it directly. If it fails, proceed to the next steps.
- Download Whatsapp Zip package from the link below (click on the arrow)
Unzip it into your computer and transfer the contents (WhatsApp.jar and Whatsapp.jad) to your phone using a USB cable.- Move the app into your the folder called “My Apps“. Be aware though, that this is not the supported version for your phone. We would need to upgrade it
- DO NOT OPEN IT YET!
- Navigate to the “My Apps” folder and on WhatsApp, select the option key and choose “Update Version”. Allow the application to update. Don’t forget to replace the existing version, and to clear existing user data.
- Now run the application and fill in your personal details
- Mission accomplished

Olá Brunelly,
Será que você siga os passos no post?
Será que você baixar o arquivo zip a partir do link?
Eu gostaria de saber onde exatamente você está preso.
(Desculpem o meu Português, é a tradução online)
obrigado
eu não consigo achar a “Versão Update”.
Isso geralmente acontece quando você se esquecer de mover o aplicativo para a memória do fone. Será que você movê-lo (não copiá-lo) para a memória do fone?
