Step 1: First, WhatsApp on your device.
Step 2: On the Chats tab, tap the New Chat option.
Step 3: On the select contacts page, tap New Contacts; it will take you to your phone's address book.
Note: Alternatively you can directly open your phone's address book to add the number.
Step 4: When adding an international number, start by entering a plus sign (+).
Step 5: After that enter the country code, followed by the full phone number.
Always remember that a country code is a numerical prefix that must be entered before the full national phone number to make a call to another country.
In case, if you don't know the country code, you can simply search online and find the country code you need.
For example: If any of your family member or friends stay in the United States (country code "1") has the area code "408" and phone number "123-4567", you'd enter +1 408 123 4567.
Important pointsJust make sure you don't forget to remove any leading 0s or special calling codes. However, if you meant to add a local phone number, enter the number as if you were calling your contact on the phone.
According to WhatsApp official website, "all phone numbers in Argentina (country code "54") should have a "9" between the country code and area code. The prefix "15" must be removed so the final number will have 13 digits total: +54 9 XXX XXX XXXX.
Phone numbers in Mexico (country code "52") need to have "1" after "+52", even if they're Nextel numbers."

How to make a free international call on WhatsApp (Android and iOS)
To make a call on the WhatsApp mobile app, go to the contact you wish to call.
In the top right-hand corner, you’ll see icons for phone and video. Tap on the one you want to use. If this is the first time you’re making such a call, your phone will ask permission to access and use your camera and microphone.
The call will then start ringing. You can switch between audio and video calling at any time by tapping the video and audio icons. You can also mute yourself using the microphone icon.
How to make a free international call on WhatsApp (desktop app)
First, we should clarify that this is for the desktop app, not the web app. WhatsApp Web does not provide a call feature.
On the desktop app, go to the contact you want to call. In the top right-hand corner, you’ll see phone and video icons. Click on the one you want to use. If this is the first time you’re using the call function, your computer will ask you for camera and microphone access.
Once you click either the phone icon or video icon, it will ring. Even if you chose the phone icon, you could easily switch to a video call by clicking the video icon on the far left.
Clicking the microphone button will mute you.
FAQs
Currently, WhatsApp Web does not have phone and video calls baked in.
If the person you’re calling is already in your phone’s contact list, then they’ll also show up on WhatsApp. If you don’t wish to put them in your phone’s contact book, we have a handy article on circumventing that requirement.
On the mobile app, go to Settings > Storage and Data. Toggle the option Use Less Data for Calls. This will lower the amount of data taken from your internet plan when you make WhatsApp phone calls. However, the downside is that the call quality may suffer slightly.
Yes. For WhatsApp to know the origin of the country of the person you’re calling, it needs the country’s dialing code. If you don’t know the country code, you can look it up here. Note that instead of the 0 at the start of the dialing code, you must instead type a +. You can accomplish this by holding down the 0 key on a mobile device.
WhatsApp calls are free of charge. The amount of data deducted from your monthly internet data plan is the only real “cost.” This is not an issue if you have an unlimited data plan.

There are 7 MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Operators) in New Zealand.
Virtual operators can receive either a special MCCMNC code or just a white-label from one of the operators, without a mobile network code.

- 2FA (two -factor authentication)
- OTP (disposable password) A24 application)
There are 2 different types of MVNOs: independent networks with their own network code and call routing, or a network with a basic carrier SIM only with a different design.
MVNOs have their own autonomous network for sending shorter messages (including RCS and SMS) and use their carrier's parent network.
Users usually don't understand the difference between MVNOs and major brands of operators - they just compare rates.
MVNO tariffs are very favorable locally, but roaming tariffs are even more expensive, which are more expensive than those of the parent operator.
MVNOs also change brands a lot, and in the table column "Other names" you will see the previous names of the virtual operator (if any).
Sometimes an operator acquires an MVNO solely on the basis of its network. They then combine their own brand with the new one they have acquired. When this happens, the MVNO no longer exists as the splitter operator, and an entirely new entry is added to the MCCMNC network that the operator has.
