Identify Whatsapp phone number when listing Twilio phone number

问题

When listing our Twilio phone numbers using the Twilio REST API (https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/services/api/phonenumber-resource), a Whatsapp phone number appears as any other phone number.

There doesn't seem to be a specific capability for Whatsapp. We can only see voice, sms, mms and fax capabilities:

"capabilities": {
                "voice": true, 
                "sms": false, 
                "mms": false, 
                "fax": true
            }, 

What info can we use to identify a phone number as a Whatsapp phone number when using the Twilio REST API?

We tried using the Node Twilio module (v2.9.2 and v3.33.2).

Thanks,

I'm sorry to say that there is not currently a way to determine if a number in your account is enabled for WhatsApp. I am seeing if the channels and phone numbers team can collaborate to enable this information in the API, but it is not connected right now.
