I am integrating Sendchamp Voice API and I want it to call the user in the user's local number and not a US or Canadian number. How do I do that?

Currently, I am using WhatsApp Business api cloud on one of my web project, I would like to register a customer's phone number but via api instead through meta, developer platform like following:
"Here is the image to register customer's number in the meta developer platform"
I want do this:
(managing the phone numbers)
but via api, and later of that send the verification code via api as well.
If someone can help me , telling me if that is possible and sharing documentation or the endpoint I would appreciate it very much, I've been looking at the documentation and postman's examples for 2 days without any success.
I'm sorry I didn't share the pictures directly, it is my first question on Stackoverflow
Thanks in advance,
Greetings!
I guess you are using WhatsApp provided a test phone number in From, you need to read this, https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/get-started#sent-test-message
Enter the recipient phone number you would like to message in the To field. Ensure the number is correct, and that you want to add it to your list of 5 possible message recipients —as you add phone numbers, follow the prompts on the screen to verify you have access to them. Once this number has been added, it cannot be removed from your list.
Note: This limitation is only for WhatsApp-provided test phone numbers. Real phone numbers that you register do not have a limit on the number of recipients.
You don't need to register receivers' phone numbers if you are using your own real business phone number in the sender's phone number.
I'm applying from Twilio to use their WhatsApp API service they are providing to build a WhatsApp auto-reply bot. But the problem here is that they want us to use the phone number they provide to us which we need to buy from them.
I tried using the URL 'https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=15551234567' but it just redirects to a page to send a message which I need to click 'Send' in order for it to submit our message. Besides that, we need to be able to trigger the application that a message is received from a recipient so we still need to access the API.
So how exactly is it I want to build a Whatsapp Auto Reply service to the public if Twilio provides it's own phone number only to reply. I want to reply using phone numbers that my clients register with me which is their own phone numbers.
As we know Whatsapp API is not open for public but how other Whatsapp Auto Reply apps are able to use our phone number to auto-reply to our recipients?
Would love some feedback or solutions from StackOverflow community. Thanks.
Twilio developer evangelist here.
Currently the Twilio documentation on using numbers on WhatsApp says:
Currently, we are unable to enable WhatsApp on non-Twilio numbers; support for this is coming soon and we will update these docs once available.
So this is just a current limitation and will be changed in the future.
I need to do some actions with sip phone from desktop application. The sip service provide api to handle events and send commands to manage calls. To control calls from specific phone device I need to know internal number.
The question is about how to automatically get the internal number attached to users sip device?
Users can change locations and when they logging in I need to detect internal phone number of device that used at this moment.
Does Google's SMS Retriever API get the list of phone numbers from the SIM lines on the user's device (which means that it's similar to TelephonyManager), or from the user's Google Play account?
I'm the product manager at Google for this API. Yes, as of the latest version of Play Services, the Phone Selector shows both the phone number for the device from the TelephonyManager (if it can be parsed as as a valid phone number) as well as recent phone numbers for the active Google Accounts on the device.
This is not directly addressed from the docs but if we infer from this statement in the Obtain the user's phone number:
Often, it is the best user experience to use the hint picker to prompt
the user to choose from the phone numbers stored on the device and
thereby avoid having to manually type a phone number
we can deduce that SMS Retriever API gets the contacts from your device.
Update
Please look at #Steven Soneff's answer
The numbers are retrieved from Smart Lock for Passwords on Android. They are retrieved if the user already stored it using Smart Lock else they will be empty. You may also ask the user to store the number for future use-cases using Smart Lock for Passwords.
I've noticed that my android phone, the iphone, outlook.com, and yahoo mail all can import my friends' email addresses (and sometimes phone numbers) from facebook. However, I don't see anywhere in the documentation of the API to suggest that you can get email.
Do these services have special agreements with Facebook or am I just not finding the specific api for "contact" importing? I've not had any luck using "email" field with friends api.
Any ideas?
These services have some special agreements with Facebook and thus are able to retrieve the Email Ids of the Friends of the User. Most of them don't allow further exporting of data obtained from there directly.
And as per Email Permissions documentation here it clearly states that for App Developers
Note: There is no way for apps to obtain email addresses for a user's friends.
As per the phone number, there is no access to it no matter what permission. You may though ask the user to fill those for you.
