Can we still use whatsapp with a UK number?  I notice the option for United Kingdom has been removed when registering a new number. 

If so, how do I do it?

Thanks in advance, 

Mark

Yes, Chip = SIM Card.

If it's a number where you can setup WhatsApp then it should work. I'm not sure you'll be able to have WhatsApp enabled on the business number.

    Yes, you can buy a UK chip and use Whatsapp + Manychat with your number.

    Thanks for the reply. 

    Can you explain how?  Do I sign up with a US number first and change it, or do I buy a number first.  Not sure what you mean by “chip”.  I am looking to use a business number, eg an 0330 number, not a mobile number so there won’t be a sim if thats what you meant by “chip”.

    Can I use a WhatsApp number from Mexico?

    I did not see the option to select country code, only Canada, Puerto Rico, USA, and I believe the other choice was from Netherland.
