WhatsApp issue

[Muhamma_2616072]

I transferred this number from three to smarty. I am unable to use this number on WhatsApp whenever I try to register just get message that temporarily unavailable please try in an hour time, cant register

Same here have never been able to use SMARTY sims with WhatsApp ; smarty just blame WhatsApp and vice versa . Neither ever fixes it .

I am getting exactly the same issue, did you manage to resolve?

What are you trying to do ?

If you have switched from another network to Smarty and ported your number to Smarty, there is no need to register another WhatsApp account, as your number will already be registered with WhatsApp, which doesn’t care or know which network you are using.

@Muhamma_2616072 I'm not sure that is linked to Smarty in any way. If you already have a WhatsApp account, is there a reason why you are trying to register? Shouldn't you simply log in?

Is it possible that WhatsApp already recognises an account with those details and so is not letting you register again?

Because like me the person probs has yes got a WhatsApp ac .  ON A DIFFERENT number . 

some sites members say oh hang on that’s not the same number as in your main texts ? And all hell breaks loose . Smarty is fantastic value but at mo I have WhatsApp running on a giffgaff sim number !! It doesn’t half complicate life I can tell ya .

Correct, nothing to do with Smarty @MSF 

@Muhamma_2616072 I notice you posted this yesterday, when WhatsApp and other services owned by its parent company, Meta, were experiencing an outage :
