Yowsup: All the numbers used are being blocked

[FUNk31r0]

Could whatsapp be blocking because it's not an official app like the whatsapp plus app?

[DagoW]

I ran yowsup-cli just now a was not blocked. Or do I misunderstand?

I think I got disconnected, because a "delivery receipt" was not sent,
but was allowed to reconnect. (due to #1948)

My number has been blocked and I wrote the support. Here is the answer:

Hi,

Thanks for your message.

Your WhatsApp account was banned because you violated our Terms of Service and were using an unauthorized application and/or unsupported device.

Please uninstall your application and install an authorized version on supported devices from:

Your account will be permanently banned if you continue to violate our Terms of Service, and there will be no possibility of an appeal.

Take a look at our FAQ!

Now I can use my number again (on the original client). I think I will not try to use yowsup again in the near future.

Yeah they suck, best to use something like Twilio so you can use throw-away numbers to register with (note that only some countries numbers work).

hii @handflucht ,

how many messages you're sending using yowsup per second? i thought Official WhatsApp detected your number based on messege sent intensity.

anyone here knew the parameter Official WhatsApp ban our number by using this Wonderfull Library?

is WhatsApp verify the IMEI number? or they (i've no idea.........)

[handflucht]

@MuhammadHuzaifah I just send two/three messages, received an error that something went wrong and minutes later I realized on my mobile that my number was blocked.

[mhuzqu]

@handflucht which command to send the message? are you using "python yowsup-cli demos -y blablabla" (yowsup interactive comman line) or using the single command like "python yowsup-cli demos -y -c file-config.config -s 62XXXXXX "your message" "

i am worried about this, cause our mobile number is so spesial :D

[handflucht]

@MuhammadHuzaifah I used the second command.
As far as I understand you can just try. If you get blocked, write the support and they will unblock you again. But after doing so, as far as I understand, a new block will be permanently.

@handflucht till now i've sent hundreds of messages using yowsup-cli demos -c configfile.config -s 8989898xxx "messages" and nothing get bocked. which environment do you use? s40 or Android environment?

[handflucht]

@MuhammadHuzaifah I am sorry, what do you exactly mean with environment in this context?

[mhuzqu]

@handflucht by default, yowsup using s40 as environment. take a look in env directory in yowsup source code.

[FoxMiner]

@MuhammadHuzaifah How do you create the account using android? And to send messages using S60?
What hourly limits do you use to send

thanks

hi everyone,
to register using default environment use command bellow
$ yowsup-cli registration --requestcode sms --phone 49XXXXXXXX --cc 49 --mcc 123 --mnc 456

to specifically using one of environment use bellow
$ yowsup-cli registration --requestcode sms --phone 49XXXXXXXX --cc 49 --mcc 123 --mnc 456 -E android

default environment it setup on /yowsup/env/env.py

import abc
import logging
from six import with_metaclass

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

DEFAULT = "s40" #you can edit to adroid to make it as default

class YowsupEnvType(abc.ABCMeta):
def __init__(cls, name, bases, dct):
if name != "YowsupEnv":
YowsupEnv.registerEnv(cls)
super(YowsupEnvType, cls).__init__(name, bases, dct)

i also still learn about this awesome API.
