Does texting people on Whatsapp use up your text messages or just your data?

Â
I don’t think the issue here is down to a faulty SIM.
Is the number you’re configuring in Whatsapp correct and matches the current number?
Have you tried this in another phone at all?
Â
Are you temporarily in the UK or have you moved out of the UK?
Our SIM cards are not designed for permanent residence abroad (which is a separate issue, but figured I would mention this).

Hello,
Â
I am hoping someone can help.
Â
I have a UK sim with ID, i activated whatsapp when i was in UK, I then moved to Cairo.
Â
All was working fine, until i removed my account and installed it again, its been two days now that I am not able to get a verification code or call from whatsapp altough my roaming service is working and i am getting calls and texts on the number.
Â
Does anyone knows, if i need to get a replacement sim and activate whatsapp again in the UK and then have it sent to egypt?
Â
i hope someone knows.
Â
thx
Hi Mohamad,
Â
I have tried it in another phone yes, it did the same issue.
Â
I left UK in mid March but due to corona and family matters, i didnt travel back.
Â
I have another sim with vodafone, i didnt face same issue with whatsapp, i recieved a verification code and call easy.
Â
I agree with u on the residence abroad I faced an issue with the vodafone sim where i could not make calls but i can receive calls. I spoke to them and he said the max period outside UK is 4 to 5 month.
Â
They ordered a new sim and asked to activate it in the UK and then get it shipped to cairo.
Â
I kindly ask for your assistance, as whatsapp is the only means for me to talk to my parents, in Lebanon and UK.
Â
I tried calling you to speak to an advisor but its all automated machines ..
Â
Appreciate your quick reply
Dear Mohamad,
Â
I forgot to mention, that your sim card is actually still working and recieving calls and texts.
Â
I turned on roaming services and international services today but i cant seem to get whatsapp verified on id mobile num
