Manage and Configure Your WhatsApp-enabled Twilio Numbers To manage your own templates and your WhatsApp profile, go to Messaging > Senders > WhatsApp Senders in the Console. Here, you can see the list of your WhatsApp-enabled Twilio phone numbers (senders) as well as any templates that you have submitted for approval.
In addition to the WhatsApp conversation charge, customers will continue to incur the Twilio flat fee of $0.005 per message. Your first 1,000 conversations each month won't incur any WhatsApp fee (Twilio per-message costs still apply). These free conversations can be both business-initiated and user-initiated.
