# How to Acquire WhatsApp lines

{{<tags>}}

To activate your WhatsApp line within Truora, you have two options:
1. Activate a completely new line.
2. Go through a migration process from your current Business Solution Provider to Truora.

Below, you will find guides for both processes.

## 1. Activate a New Phone Number
> You will be able to complete this process independently starting from the Truora dashboard.

Acquire a number with a physical or virtual SIM card from your preferred provider or use one you already have.
However, it is important that this number has never been linked to WhatsApp, either with a personal account or a business account.
If the number was previously linked to WhatsApp, it may not be possible to create the WABA line, or you might need to go through a migration process.
For a step-by-step guide on this process, please visit [Activate your line for WhatsApp in Truora](/guides/activate_line_whatsapp/) guide.

## 2. Migrate a Phone Number
> Truora will assist you throughout the migration process. Please contact your sales representative or our support line.

WABA line migration is the process of transferring a phone number from one Business Solution Provider to another or from 
a business to a Business Solution Provider.
