# How many phone numbers can I connect under one BAN?

|| Info
Quick answer: The number of phone numbers you can connect under one MyOperator BAN depends on your account-verification status and Meta’s global phone-number limits.

## When to use this guide?

* Centralised billing: One BAN simplifies billing across all connected numbers and accounts.
* Scalability: Easily expand into new regions or teams without opening separate business entities.
* Flexibility: Manage multiple WABAs for different brands, regions, or service lines under one FBM.
* Control: Each number maintains its own messaging tier and approval process, giving granular scaling.

## Key Limits and Structure

| Element | Limit / Capability |
| --- | --- |
| Phone numbers per Account | Up to 20 (each must be individually onboarded and verified via FBM) |
| WhatsApp Business Accounts | Multiple WABAs can be created and linked under one BAN |
| FBM–BAN relationship | One BAN is tied to one Facebook Business Manager (FBM). A single FBM can manage multiple WABAs, all connected under the same BAN. |
| Messaging tiers per number | Each phone number has its own messaging limits (tiers) that scale independently |

## What Meta officially allows (phone-number limits)

* By default, when you first register, a business portfolio is limited to **2 registered WhatsApp business phone numbers**.
* Once your Business Manager account is **verified**, Meta typically allows **up to 20 phone numbers** to be registered under the same Business Manager / WABA account (multiple WABA accounts can be created under 1 BAN).
* If you need more than 20 — it may be possible to request an increase from Meta, especially for high-volume businesses, though approval is discretionary.

Therefore — under normal circumstances — a single business account under MyOperator should support **up to 20 phone numbers**.
