Geographic Restrictions and Unsupported Regions

Bangladesh
If you are located in an unsupported region, number verification and app functionality will not work. In such cases:
Uninstall the app, as it cannot be used in these regions.
If you travel to a supported country, you can reinstall the app and complete the verification process there.
Limitations on VoIP Numbers
Ring4 numbers are VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) numbers, which are not supported for certain services, such as WhatsApp verification. To register or verify accounts on platforms like WhatsApp, you must use a traditional mobile number from a cellular carrier.
