WhatsApp doesn’t work for a fixed line or a business phone number

I use my Skype credit when abroad and making local calls so this is quite painful

Try sending a WhatsApp message to the business's phone number. 9 times out of 10 it will work.

Airlines, insurance, ikea, … basically everyone who redirects you to a bot menu can’t be reached by WhatsApp

In many countries that'll be ~0/10.

A 90% success rate isn't even acceptable for an entertainment website, so definitely not good enough for this.
