Hi @jpgiron, you should set your ‘From’ number as +15089805226 and not whatsapp:+15089805226. If you applied the code block above, it should automatically prepend the ‘whatsapp:’ prefix to your ‘From’ number.

In our case, we have the same twilio number for sending SMS and sending via WhatsApp. If the Contact’s number has a ‘whatsapp:’ prefixed to it, then the code above will prepend ‘whatsapp:’ to the ‘From’ number and sends via WhatsApp, else, it will use the ‘From’ number as is then sends the message as SMS.
