Open WhatsApp

- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Lesotho costs $0.18 for WhatsApp, against $0.72 here.
- Turn on two-step verification (Settings → Account) so nobody can re-register your number.
Why use a Central African Republic number for WhatsApp?
WhatsApp is the first app most people in Central African Republic open every day, so a +236 number is what contacts, shops and services there expect to see on your profile.
Peacekeeping and NGOs: Personnel linked to UN and humanitarian missions in Bangui use a local number to coordinate with Central African partners.
WhatsApp re-verifies whenever you move to a new phone, reinstall or restore a backup, so a number you keep is the only way to stay in control of the account.
