Tips for Mexico numbers
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Barbados costs $0.20 for WhatsApp, against $0.45 here.
- Turn on two-step verification (Settings → Account) so nobody can re-register your number.
Why use a Mexico number for WhatsApp?
WhatsApp is the first app most people in Mexico open every day, so a +52 number is what contacts, shops and services there expect to see on your profile.
Selling on Mercado Libre: Sellers reaching Mexican shoppers on Mercado Libre and via WhatsApp catalogues use a +52 number to handle customer questions and verification.
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.
