Enter OTP

Received the OTP using SMS or Voice, enter the code to confirm the migration.

Troubleshooting

Here are some common errors and solutions that you might encounter during the migration process:

This number is registered to an existing WhatsApp Account.

This means that the WhatsApp number was not registered with the WhatsApp Business Platform previously and is registered with a standard WhatsApp consumer App / WhatsApp Messenger. Therefore, it is not required to do the migration flow. Solution: Open the standard WhatsApp consumer app / WhatsApp Messenger on mobile and delete the associated account. Then it will be possible to register the number for the WhatsApp Business Platform.

"Two-factor authentication not yet disabled"

Before migrating a phone number, two-factor authentication (2FA) must be disabled on the existing WABA. 2FA must be disabled from Meta Business manager > WhatsApp Manager > Phone Number

"Register Name should be present and approved"

The Display Name of the account must be approved. Phone numbers cannot be migarted if the Display Name is not approved. In case display name approval is pending, wait until it's approved or contact support.

"This phone number is eligible to be added directly, and does not need to be migrated. Please go to the 360Dialog Client Hub and add it as a new number"

This means that you should not use the migration form to register this number.

"The phone number you are trying to port has already been moved to your destination WhatsApp Account. Please log in to the 360dialog Client Hub to continue."

This means that the number is already available in 360Dialog.

"Something went wrong when trying to migrate your phone number. Please try again after some time. If that does not work, please contact our support via the 360Dialog Client Hub."

This means that an unexpected error occurred. Contact our support team so we can investigate accordingly.
