About WhatsApp numbers in Ethiopia
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.
Ethiopia numbers are issued in the +251 mobile format and can receive SMS from 679 services. For WhatsApp, this country currently ranks 126 of 181 available countries by price.
