# Add the country code to numbers saved without one

> In SkedX Flow, a phone number saved without its country code (10 digits or fewer, or written with a leading 0) cannot be reached on WhatsApp. Contacts shows one line while any exist: “N numbers have no country code. WhatsApp can’t reach them as saved.” with Add +<your code> to all N and See them. The code is your company’s, from its country in SkedX accounts (+91 for India). See them filters the list to those people (filter “No country code”). Add +91 changes only those numbers, only when pressed — Flow never rewrites saved numbers by itself — and needs permission to edit contacts. A number that would become one another contact already has is left alone and counted (“2 would match another contact — merge those instead”). New numbers get +91 as they come in (import, Add contact, the API) for a company in India; adding a contact by hand shows “Saved as +91 …” under the phone field, and a +91 number of the wrong length says how many digits it has. API: GET/POST /api/contacts/phone-fixes/, GET /api/contacts/?phone=no_country_code.

Numbers saved without their country code never reach WhatsApp. Contacts counts them and adds your code to all of them in one click — only when you press it.

## Step 1: See how many, and who

Open **Contacts**. While some numbers have no country code, a line above the list says how many, with **Add +91 to all**. **See them** lists only those people — the filter reads **No country code**.

## Step 2: Add your code to all of them

Press **Add +91 to all** (1 in the picture above) — your company’s own code. Each number gets it, with a 0 in front dropped (098110 00999 becomes +91 98110 00999), and the line then says how many were changed. A number that would become one another contact already has is left as it is: the line counts those — merge the two contacts instead.

## Step 3: New numbers get it as they come in

You won’t need this line again for new people. When your company is in India, Flow adds +91 to a 10-digit mobile as it comes in — an import, **Add contact**, or the API. Typing a number in Add contact shows what will be saved under the field, or how many digits a +91 number has when it is not 10. See [Import contacts](https://skode.ai/help/flow/contacts/import-contacts-into-skode-flow/#verify) for the sheet.

## Common questions

### Does Flow change my numbers without asking?

No. Saved numbers change only when you press **Add +91 to all**. New numbers get +91 as they come in, and the import sheet shows it before anything is saved, with Undo.

### Some of my contacts are in another country.

Press **See them** and edit those numbers on the contact with their own code first; then add yours to the rest.

### I don’t see “Add +91 to all”.

Your role needs permission to edit contacts, and your company needs its country in SkedX. Without them the line still offers **See them**, and you can edit each number.
