Open WhatsApp

- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Barbados costs $0.20 for WhatsApp, against $0.65 here.
- Turn on two-step verification (Settings → Account) so nobody can re-register your number.
Why use an El Salvador number for WhatsApp?
WhatsApp is the first app most people in El Salvador open every day, so a +503 number is what contacts, shops and services there expect to see on your profile.
Surf City stays: Surfers in El Tunco and El Zonte book rooms, boards and transfers with local hosts over WhatsApp.
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.
