Yes, you can, but it will not work during the process of confirmation of this number on WhatsApp. This process can take from a couple of hours to a day.
You can also connect landline numbers. The important thing is to be able to get an SMS or a voice call to confirm the number.

Unfortunately, within the framework of the WhatsApp Business API, we are technically incapable of providing a free test period because you can connect our service only after verifying the number on WhatsApp.
