And when I contacted them, they said it's because it's a internet number which is against their terms... But wouldn't answer any of my replies to that

Oh boy, it was random or you were trying to install/re-install it?
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

They have 2 types of bans.

Temporary & Permanent. From what you posted it seems to indicate that it's a permanent lock....

Your only option is to contact WhatsApp and try to prove your innocence, and request an in depth analysis of your account...

But FYI, While I can't say with certainty, I've heard from someone that reinstalled WhatsApp with a different # and had all his chats automatically added.. YMMV

The reason was that all the WhatsApp files are on the phone, so it simply considered it the same account...try it you have nothing to lose .

Well, when they are all plugged into the same machine...

Ridiculous. My GV number is my main number.
