Whatsapp allows its users to integrate their one mobile number with it to setup an account. Each device can only have a single account and if any user wants to create more than one account , he has to buy a new smart phone or delete his previous account.

If you are facing the same kind of problem, then here is a perfect solution. Recently I came across an android app OGWhatsapp which is designed by a windows and android app developer Osama Ghareeb. It is a modded version of whatsapp, which allows you to use two accounts in the single real time.
