The root comment on this thread resolves that distinction: it might make sense from a UX perspective to block calls that are known in advance not to be workable. WhatsApp can sensibly be reacting to something that occurs once a session is in steady state.

Sure, though I think there's still merit in the OP's request for WhatsApp to detect when a customer with a Saudi number is actually in another country and allow the call to go through (though I don't know how easy it is to detect that).
