Tips for Tuvalu numbers
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Kiribati costs $0.20 for WhatsApp, against $0.43 here.
- Turn on two-step verification (Settings → Account) so nobody can re-register your number.
Why use a Tuvalu number for WhatsApp?
WhatsApp is one of the most used apps in Tuvalu, alongside Facebook and Messenger. A local +688 number makes reaching customers, family and a business audience in the country look native rather than foreign.
Collectors of rare numbers: With around 11,000 people, Tuvalu has one of the smallest pools of phone numbers of any country.
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.
