About WhatsApp numbers in Costa Rica
WhatsApp sends its 6-digit code by SMS first; if nothing arrives it may offer a voice call, which one-time numbers do not answer — so request the SMS variant. Codes expire after about 5 minutes. WhatsApp is strict about number reuse: a fresh, never-registered number has the best acceptance rate, which is why single-use numbers work well here.
Costa Rica numbers are issued in the +506 mobile format and can receive SMS from 411 services. For WhatsApp, this country currently ranks 12 of 181 available countries by price.
