Why am I unable to install Whatsapp for 3G on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 with KitKat?

Whatsapp for 3G enabled Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 with KitKat

I cannot install whatsapp on my Samsung Galaxy tab 4 as the Google play page says that it is not supported for the current version.

My device has a slot for a SIM card but I haven't inserted one yet. Is it because of that, or whatsapp is not available on this device?

Thank you

It's probably not compiled to run on that device with that version of Android. (Most apps come in a few flavors, and the Play Store sends your phone the one it needs - which, btw, is one reason to not install apps from anywhere but the Play Store or Amazon's App Store. Installing an apk file that won't run on your device could leave you with a non-running device.)
