Open WhatsApp
Go to the first screen after installing WhatsApp (or WhatsApp Business) — “Enter your phone number”.
Enter the +966 number

WhatsApp sends a 6-digit code by SMS, or a voice call if the SMS does not arrive. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +966 number; type the code into WhatsApp to finish.
Tips for Saudi Arabia numbers
- After +966, Saudi Arabia mobile numbers begin with 5 — a quick check that you pasted the whole number.
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Syria costs $0.18 for WhatsApp, against $1.01 here.
- Turn on two-step verification (Settings → Account) so nobody can re-register your number.
Why use a Saudi Arabia number for WhatsApp?
WhatsApp is the first app most people in Saudi Arabia open every day, so a +966 number is what contacts, shops and services there expect to see on your profile.
Umrah and Hajj pilgrims: Pilgrims heading to Makkah and Madinah use a Saudi number to coordinate with group operators, hotels and transport.
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.
