Can I keep using WhatsApp on my phone?
Yes. If your number is on the WhatsApp Business app, it can stay there: messages show on the phone and in the inbox, and replies typed on the phone appear in the inbox marked as sent from the app. Open the app at least every 14 days or Meta disconnects it.
Can I use my personal WhatsApp number?
No. Move it to the free WhatsApp Business app first. It keeps the same number and your chats.
Will my old WhatsApp chats show up?
When you connect a WhatsApp Business app number, Meta offers to share your recent chat history once, roughly the last 6 months. If you agree, those chats are added to the inbox. Older chats stay on your phone.
How long does setup take?
About 40 minutes the first time. Most businesses let us do it with them on WhatsApp, and paid setup packages are available if you want contacts, pipeline and templates done for you too.
How much does it cost?
Starter is $29 a month for 1 WhatsApp number and 3 people, Growth $59 for 2 numbers and 6 people, and Business $99 for 3 numbers and unlimited people. Paying yearly costs 10 months. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.
Do we pay WhatsApp for messages?
Replies inside 24 hours of a customer’s message are free. Meta charges for template messages you start, at its rate for the customer’s country, billed to your Meta account and not part of the EliteTeQ price.
Can we send a broadcast to everyone?
Not yet. You send approved templates to people one by one, and only to customers who agreed to hear from you. Mass messages to people who didn’t ask get numbers reported and limited.
Is there a WhatsApp CRM for businesses in Liberia?
Yes. EliteTeQ Inbox is a WhatsApp team inbox and CRM that businesses in Liberia use with their own +231 WhatsApp Business number. Staff in Monrovia, Paynesville or anywhere else answer from their own logins, every chat becomes a lead on a pipeline, and Facebook and Instagram messages land in the same list. Plans start at $29 a month with a 7-day free trial.
Can our team reply to customers in English?
Yes. Replies inside WhatsApp’s 24-hour window can be in any language, so your team answers in English the way customers write. Template messages, for customers who haven’t written in 24 hours, can currently be created in English.
