WhatsApp on PC and phone simultaneously?

Hello all,
I need to install WhatsApp on my phone and PC at the same time, I manged to get it run from the PC using android emulator but I had to re-verify my number, also when you want to use it on your phone back you have to re-verify your number (WhatsApp may block your number for service abuse) I want to know how does WhatsApp identify the way I am connecting I think it is not through the IMEI because when we change phones we don't have to re-verify it ("I think" because I didn't try it so I am not so sure) and I don't think it is through the SIM data, so what parameter makes my phone different from my PC so that I will try to make it the same in both (if applicable)?
I have alternatives:I can use other texting service which I normally don't use on my phone ex: Viber but my contacts should have Viber installed
and I can use one of my parent's phone numbers for WhatsApp on my PC but if one saved this number as me then he would by mistake call my parents instead of me
the reason why I am looking for this is that I find it distracting to work on the phone and PC at the same time so I prefer to centralize my work (on phone when using it and on pc when using it)
anyone knows where can I a SIM reader/writer or a SIM modem?
thanks

I think this should be in the mobile section but I didn't know where to post it so I posted it here

Re: WhatsApp on PC and phone simultaneously?

WhatsApp uses the XMPP protocol, below you can find a link to the open repository for 2 WhatsApp web interfaces using PHP or Python your choice.

https://github.com/venomous0x/WhatsAPI

I think you can write an ajaxified version with the above as its backend code, of course you need to add all the functionality to it and communication with the client side, but it's definitely doable in a couple of days.

The reason why the above works is because of whatsapp's very unsecure authentication method. Indeed it uses IEMI as password

Fork the repo and if you can come up with something interesting, please share :)

Use your land line number, when it fails to send the SMS, press "Call Me" and verify like that.

Go to Settings > Applications > and tick "Unknown Sources" and try again. If it doesn't work, download it from Whatsapp.com

I have installed Whatsapp on tablets billions and billions of times .
You can try your luck on Google or something. I confirm that it works though.

it is not a verification issue only it is identification too (WhatsApp will identify that it is working on 2 devices) did it work for you-since I don't have a land number to try it or you are just creating a second account?

I have zero background in programming but I am willing to learn when I finish my graduate studies so I think I can't do that, thanks for your help

You can't use the same number on 2 devices. You need to get a second number in order to use it.

Re: WhatsApp on PC and phone simultaneously?

Yes you can. After setting up Whatsapp with your landline number, you will have to enter a verification code that is supposedly sent by SMS, this will fail, and you will ask them to call you. When they call you, you will get the verification code. Enter it and proceed.
