If they own another phone why do they want to access WhatsApp on their cheapo ones so fervently?

That is what puzzles me most in the article. Unless one phone that can handle Whatsapp is used by several people I do not get what they are trying to achieve here. AFAIK Whatsapp Web needs to have a phone online and is not provided as a standalone web service.

Yeah, that's pretty perplexing to me as well.

They could have used some else's phone to setup the account
