Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone can help me resolve this issue:
-
I had a WhatsApp number registered in ManyChat, but my channel was deactivated due to insufficient funds.
-
I’ve since added credits, but when trying to reconnect, WhatsApp requires SMS/call verification.
-
The problem: I purchased this number directly through ManyChat, so it can’t receive SMS or calls (no physical SIM access).
-
I already removed it from Meta Business Manager, but it still won’t verify.
Has anyone experienced this? Is there a way to:
-
Get ManyChat to verify the number without SMS (e.g., via email or manual approval).
-
Migrate the number to an SMS-enabled provider (like Twilio).
-
Or am I forced to use a new physical SIM number?
Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
