WhatsApp Question

[flynempire]

Have not posted here for some while but hopefully I can figure out a solution I could not find online.

Family member came over to visit from Peru. She has a new phone but whatsapp was erased somehow before she came. I reinstalled it but the obstacle is the verification code. I wish it could be sent by email but it is probably due to security.

I can't get the code because she is not connected to her cell provider from Peru here so the code by phone call or text will not arrive. Is there another way around this so she can connect from Miami to Peru using her actual cell phone number from over there?

Google searches lead me to try somethings that did not work.

I appreciate any info on this matter

It sounds like roaming is disabled or the Peruvian carrier does not have a roaming partner in the US.

 

Whatsapp suggests checking the voicemail for the code: https://faq.whatsapp.com/en/general/30025981

Roaming... I forgot about that thanks! I dont think she enabled that with them when she left. Will find out if they have a partner here and if she can get access to her voicemail.

 

Thanks
