Join The Brand New DansDeals WhatsApp Community, Where Your Phone Number Remains Private!
Our own App, Telegram & Twitter are also excellent ways of getting notifications.
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 we already have 14,000+ 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?
In so many ways, it’s hard to list. But, I only recommend a filtered version of Telegram, such as cloudveil
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?
The link doesn’t seem to be working for me ,
It keeps saying download WhatsApp
Will there be another new group opening?
how do i join the whatsapp group?? not being successful
Not letting me in what am o doing wrong
I like whatsapp status better than alerts. It doesn’t use up space on your phone.
The alerts self-delete after 7 days for just that reason.
Got it. Good to know.
Whatsapp status is where Frum social media is at… ppl are moving away from alerts and groups.
The link is not working for me. It just says loading forever
Same here. Just loads and doesn’t work. Tried copying and pasting that link. Dan please help.
FYI I don’t think it still qualifies as “Brand New” anymore… just my 2c
How do I sign up for sms messages
Thank you for doing this, my chrome alerts stopped working months ago although I tried several times to turn them on/off and to clear my cache and cookies (both on my computer and android phone, dead for me). Twitter alerts not working either. And I hate telegram so will not use that. I hope that I will finally get the deals via Whats App. Thanks again.
Is there a way to skip the Community “page” Every time there is a new post? Thanks
I have the same question. This just started for me a day or two ago and I need to click 2 times to go into the group to see a new post. Before that I clicked once and was in the group. Now it first goes to the community page and then I have to click on my group. It’s very annoying. Anyone know how to fix this?
It looks like the group is full. Already added admin as a contact.
How do I sign up for Chrome notifications? TIA
Link to join community doesn’t work
Not sure where to post this comment… Whats up with the new WhatsApp being subdevided into “communities”. It’s a terrible idea, I only look at deals if I can do it at a quick glance. Now every time it’s 2 steps. I completely stopped looking at the posts.
It’s a whatsapp change.
You can go directly from a notification into the deal though by clicking on it.
Hey Dan, Have you considered a WhatsApp Channel?
Any plans to add a Channel?
Filters will block channels not a good idea to go that route.
Is a channel coming?
Group is full
The group is full it says
Can I get emailed of DansDeals that are not letting me subscribe
I tried joining the community but it’s full
The link takes me to download Whatsapp business (as opposed to regular Whatsapp).
Help?
