Sometimes you may need to use a second phone number Whatsapp account. I must warn you however before proceeding please understand that according to the official Whatsapp help page regarding second accounts says this about using dual numbers.
Warning from Whatsapp Regarding Multiple Accounts
Your WhatsApp account can only be verified with one number on one phone. If you have a dual SIM phone, please note that you still must choose one number to verify with WhatsApp. There is no option to have a WhatsApp account with two phone numbers.
If you attempt to frequently switch your WhatsApp account between different devices, at a certain point, you may be blocked from re-verifying your account. Please don’t repeatedly switch between different devices and numbers.
