How to filter WhatsApp numbers for Guadeloupe? First, unify the numbers with 590 followed by 9-digit E.164 format, then filter for activated and active numbers. Includes number format table, CSV examples, common errors, and compliance considerations.
Guadeloupe island number rules: How to use 590
Guadeloupe is an overseas department of France, but its international dialing code is not 33, it is+590First, remember two key numbers:
- Domestic format (including leading 0): 10 digits, such as
0590 XX XX XX(fixed),0690 XX XX XX(Move) - International format (E.164): 9 digits after 590, a total of 12 digits, such as
+590690000001
Guadeloupe shares 590 with French Saint Martin and Saint Barthelemy, which is the easiest pitfall to fall into.
| Type | Domestic format (including leading 0) | International format (E.164) |
|---|---|---|
| Landline | 0590 XX XX XX | +590590XXXXXX |
| Move (Common) | 0690 XX XX XX | +590690XXXXXX |
| Move (Common) | 0691 XX XX XX | +590691XXXXXX |
Publicly available information shows that common prefixes for mobile numbers are 690 and 691, and common prefixes for landline numbers are 590. The main verifiable operators are Orange Caraïbe, Digicel (French West Indies), SFR Caraïbe, and Dauphin Telecom, which covers Saint Martin/Saint Barthelemy; the operator does not determine WhatsApp filtering results, as long as the number format is correct.
Number Standardization: Transform messy numbers into E.164 starting with 590
Clean before sieving. Target format:After 590, follow with 9 digits, remove spaces, parentheses, and hyphens, remove leading 0, replace 00 with。
| Original input | Standardized results | Processing Instructions |
|---|---|---|
| 0690000001 | +590690000001 | Remove the leading 0 from the mobile number |
| 0590000001 | +590590000001 | Remove the leading 0 from the fixed number |
| +590 690 00 00 01 | +590690000001 | Remove spaces |
| 590690000001 | +590690000001 | replenish |
| 00 590 690 00 00 01 | +590690000001 | Replace 00 with |
Excel cleaning logic reference (adjust function names according to your language version):
- Remove spaces:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","") - Remove hyphens/brackets: continue nesting
SUBSTITUTE - Starts with 00: Determine whether the first two digits are
00, then replace with+ - 0 at the beginning to be converted to international format: Check if the first digit is
0, if so, remove it and add in front+590
Final verification rules:+590It must be 9 digits, not 8 digits, and not 10 digits.
Input example: How to prepare CSV
It is recommended to put phone numbers in the first column of the CSV in plain text format. The following is sample data,All are example numbers and not real users:
phone,country_code,note
590690000001,GP,Mobile 690 prefix
590590000001,GP,Fixed 590 prefix
590691000001,GP,Mobile 691 prefix
Enter directly in Excel+590...At times, it may be recognized as a formula and disappear. The solution is: first select the column and set it to ‘Text’, or use Excel’s ‘Data → Import’ function to import the CSV and specify the column as text. A TXT file with one number per line can also be uploaded directly.
Screen Open: Which numbers have registered on WhatsApp
Sift open to solve a problem:Is this number registered with a WhatsApp account?In the WhatsApp ecosystem, the number existence check only returns the registration status.
Taking the AppShai AppShai type of number screening platform as an example, the operating procedure is:
- Upload the standardized number list (CSV/Excel/TXT)
- Select the ‘WhatsApp’ platform
- Create ‘Enable Filtering’ Task
- Export the results after the task is completed
The output fields usually include: number, whether it is activated (activated/not activated), and detection time. Numbers that are not activated are filtered out directly, and activated ones proceed to the next step of active screening.
Screen active users: find target people among the numbers that have been activated
Activated ≠ Active. Many numbers remain unused for a long time after registration; this is what screening for activity is about.Filter out target accounts with recent online signals from the accounts that have been activated。
A common practice is to set a time window, such as ‘online within 7 days’ or ‘online within 30 days.’ Activity determination is based on observable signals (last online time, online status, online duration, etc.) and is affected by users’ privacy settings.Cannot achieve 100% accuracy, nor is there the term ‘permanently active.’ The activity results you see on the platform should be understood as activity estimates based on visible signals.
The platform supports enabling filters such as selection by activity, selection by online status, and selection by online duration, among others. The specific capabilities and thresholds are subject to the descriptions on the product page.
Results Explanation and Common Errors
A typical output result (sample values):
| phone | registered | active | last_seen |
|---|---|---|---|
| +590690000001 | yes | yes | 2025-06-10 14:32 (UTC) |
| +590690000002 | yes | no | 2025-01-02 09:00 (UTC) |
| +590691000001 | no | – | – |
registered=yesThe number has registered an account on WhatsAppactive=yes: Online signals observed within the detection windowlast_seenEmpty: The user has hidden their last online time, or privacy settings make it impossible to verify
Common mistakes:
| Phenomenon | Reason | Handle |
|---|---|---|
| Bulk display not activated | The area code is written incorrectly (such as mixing in 596 Martinique, 594 French Guiana numbers), or the digits following 590 are incorrect | Recheck according to 590 9 digits |
| The number disappears in Excel | Excel treats it as a formula | Set the cell to text format, or use the CSV import function to specify text columns |
| Number with spaces/hyphens causes unrecognition | Not standardized cleaning performed | Uniformly convert the format before uploading |
| The number of active users is very low | The number list is too old, the account has been deactivated | Update the data source, or relax the active time window |
Local WhatsApp Usage and Compliance Considerations
Verifiable fact:
- Guadeloupe uses the French numbering plan,WhatsApp supports registration with 590 numbers, the user can verify with a local mobile number.
- In French Caribbean regions such as Guadeloupe, Martinique, and French Guiana, WhatsApp is one of the common cross-border communication tools.
- There is no reliable public data on the specific user scale, penetration rate, or usage preferences, so this article does not make any assumptions.
In terms of compliance, it is necessary to pay attention to:
- Guadeloupe belongs to the outermost regions of the European Union.GDPR applies to the processing of personal data。
- Number Checking is only allowed to be used for legally obtained data (proprietary CRM, user-authorized data, publicly available business information, etc.).
- Screening results are not to be used for unsolicited bulk messaging, harassment, or spam marketing.
- You must not attempt to bypass WhatsApp’s platform security mechanisms, message frequency limits, or verification processes.
Distinguishing Relevant Countries and Area Codes
590 is shared by three French territories, and there are several nearby area codes that are easily confused:
| Region | International dialing code | Relationship with Guadeloupe |
|---|---|---|
| Guadeloupe (French) | +590 | Area code of this article |
| French Saint Martin | +590 | Shares the area code with Guadeloupe |
| Saint Barthélemy (French) | +590 | Shares the area code with Guadeloupe |
| Martinique (French) | +596 | Neighboring islands, easily confused |
| French Guiana (French) | +594 | French territory in South America, easy to confuse |
| Dutch Sint Maarten | +1 721 | The Dutch part of the island of Saint Martin,Not 590 |
| Dominic | +1 767 | Neighboring independent countries |
| Antigua and Barbuda | +1 268 | Other countries in the same archipelago region |
Quickly determine whether a number belongs to the Guadeloupe target range: first, check if it starts with 590, then see if there are 9 digits after 590, and finally confirm whether the mobile prefix is within common ranges such as 690/691. Following these three steps will basically avoid mistakes.
