Join The Brand New DansDeals WhatsApp Community, Where Your Phone Number Remains Private!
WhatsApp has rolled out its newest feature ‘Communities’ which finally allows us to send deal alerts to your WhatsApp without you having to share your number publicly. With groups people can see your number and lead to spam and stalkers as has happened before.
Use this link to join the community and to share with friends so they can join as well.
We will be sending all of our deals to our new WhatsApp community. It is capped at 2,000 members and since launching it a day ago we already have 11,000+ members signed up, we will add more communities as needed.
In order for the links we share to be clickable, you will need to save an admins phone number to your contacts. Please save 216-302-4839 or any of the other admin phone numbers in the community.

Of course Dan got a 216 *770* number…
LOL!
How did you finagle 2 of those?:)
Not sure if it was planned this way, but the phone numbers for the community admins and creator are viewable.
Oh cool. Just realized it is 770 twice in each number..
Now that is really cool:)
Google Voice FTW 🙂
Google Voice allows you to choose a custom number?
Sure
Why is this different than the broadcasts whatsapp had till now?
Broadcasts has limits to how many messages can be sent per period of time. It is totally non feasible for a large following.
How does this thing help if it is capped at 5,000 members? You guys have tens of thousands of followers.
5k followers per community, they will create multiple communities
Just watchin’ that number climb… And climb…
I just signed up. Will you be making a second group with an additional 5,000 people to join if the first one fills up ? I’m trying to contact my friend. Lol
Done, links in this post have been updated.
Is this in place of the way we are currently receiving alerts from Dans Deals?
Nope, everything will continue working as it has been.
is this just a better way to receive deals? As groupme doesnt always sent texts
Yes. You can disable your GroupMe SMS.
Baruch HaShem!
Is one faster then the other? I like group me but if it’s delayed in comparison I would switch
Can we unsubscribe from GroupMe and regular text messages now? We will get all the same updates?
Yes.
THANK YOU DAN!! finally a good reason to abandon twitter notifications….
Now pay $8
lol 🙂
But I can’t afford $8, Im only worth 500 million dollars
I’m trying to but says loading
Keeps on saying ‘loadings’ I selected the link provided here
I selected the link provided here and it keeps on saying ‘loading’
Copy past this link into a whatsapp chat and click it there https://chat.whatsapp.com/DLxoDqaa2K96IHQ2aItcF4
It worked, thanks.
For those wondering who want to disable messages from groupme. Just go to your sms message and send the text #mute
And that should make it stop sending messages from the sender.
why not just exit the group via groupme
Thank you. Many don’t remember how they signed up for groupme so this is helpful.
lol. got it
It says can’t join because you were removed.
I have a what’s app business app because of filter issues with regular app and link takes me only to regular what’s app. Is there anything I can do ?
Yes, turn off defaults for links to open that whatsapp. It’s in android app settings.
Link just loading?

Thank you Dan!
Will this mirror the telegram alerts?
Is it better than telegram? Delete telegram?
It is better for those who don’t use Telegram
Is Telegram better if you use both a Telegram and WhatsApp?
Will Telegram still work or do I need to swtich?
Telegram and Twitter will remain the same as before.
Will the same things be posted on the WhatsApp as the Telegram account or does one still need both to ensure receive the most current info in real time?
The plan is to have them be the same. If WhatsApp works out will be known with time.
Btw, the whatsapp notifications are coming in a bit after Chrome notifications (Chrome was already slow).
Also, I’m able to click links without saving admin #.
I clicked the link, and it is telling me that I don’t have whatsapp installed on my phone…and I definitely do.
How do I get the WhatsApp notification to display graphics, not just text?
Thank you for setting this up!!
When attempting to join this new dansdeals community using the above link, WhatsApp is trying to force me to move my WhatsApp number to “WhatsApp Business”. Why and that on earth?!
Either you are using business on your phone or you have both in which case you say open in WhatsApp after that
Your hyperlinks are not active in WhatApp Desktop
In order for the links we share to be clickable, you will need to save an admins phone number to your contacts. Please save 216-302-4839 or any of the other admin phone numbers in the community.
I DIDNT SAVE ANY NUMBER AND WORKS FINE
Telegram is better
How so?
Are you already on your second or third group of 5,000?
Hey Dan, any new talk about making an app for apple?
Apple would then demand a fat slice of all income brought in through usage of the app… #oligarchs
Any chance of breaking these out, so you only get alerts on travel?
That would be fantastic
agree, it would be great if we could limit the types of notifications either by category or at lease between time sensitive or just informational
Posted into a whatsapp message & Tried clickling the Join Group link but whatsapp says “Something went wrong try again later”
Whatsapp says “Can’t Join group b/c its full”
Will this be replacing telegram?
No.
Will the Twitter alerts be going away or can I just stay with those?
Twitter and Telegram are the most reliable alerts we have! Definitely keeping those.
Awesome. Thank you.
Group# 3 is full
gropu 3 is full, can you send group 4?
