# Android Emulators

To register a WhatsApp account, you need to be able to receive a verification code via SMS or phone call. The easiest way to do this is, of course, on a physical device. However, it's not always possible to use a smartphone. There are various solutions, including cloud services, that are ready to use for hosting your phone number. Below, we will list a few options for setting up an account without a physical device.
