On your mobile device, open WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business.
When prompted, select the country of your chosen number and enter the number you selected.
WhatsApp will then ask you to confirm if the entered number is correct.
Check for Validity
If WhatsApp is able to send a code, it means the number can be activated for WhatsApp and you can proceed with the purchase.
If WhatsApp displayed this error message, it means the number won’t work on WhatsApp Messenger or Business and you’ll need to find an alternative number.
Proceed with the Purchase
Once you've confirmed that the number is valid for WhatsApp, return to the 2chat purchase screen and click the cart icon next to the number.
The number will be reserved for 10 minutes. Complete the purchase within this period. After 10 minutes, availability is no longer guaranteed, and you might need to select a new number.
