Steps to Get Whatsapp on Tablets

Download the Latest version of Whatsapp in your Tablet. You can download it from the WhatsApp website.
Install it on your tablet by following the steps.
Be sure that you have enabled the Unknow Sources installation. To check this, go to Settings > Security > Unknown Sources on your tablet.
Now, launch the app in your Tablet and follow the onscreen instructions.
Give the new sim card number as you Whatsapp contact.
Once you reach the Authorization screen, it will not authorize automatcailly because there is no sim card on the tablet. So, input the code that you have received in the smartphone which has the sim card inserted.
Once, you have successfully entered the correct code, you will get a normally functioning Whatsapp on your tablet.

Now, you can peacefully enjoy the Whatsapp on your tablet without a sim card. No limitations will be there for the tablet version even you are using it without a sim card inserted.

Once you need to do some account related tasks or configurations, you may again need to insert the sim card in some other smartphones to receive messages. Be sure to keep the sim card activated by making some calls or messages at least once a month. As it is a non-used sim card, there is a big chance for you to avoid it completely. Doing so may be not good for future Whatsapp account operations. So, be aware.
