  They're right: according to androidcentral.com , you do not need a Facebook account to use WhatsApp. I recommend only installing it on Gail's phone and using a sneakemail address for registration, if you do want to use it.

    Oh, and it says that you can use your landline for the phone number: wondershare.com I recommend that we do that. I was going to do that with Signal, anyway. Certainly, not ideal, but not horrible.
