I've turned to WhatsApp for reaching companies and individuals in countries I have a hard time reaching out to through the conventional methods.

My "weapon" of choice is telephone, but the aforementioned difficulty in reaching these companies, along with time zone differences just makes it easier to text.

One early "obstacle" I've come across are durin the tough parts of the conversations like pricing, and other objections. There is a certain "lull" in the flow of the dialogue imo, due to someone continuing the conversation at 01:30 a.m. when I'm asleep.

My question would be do you have any tips on how to best communicate with prospects through SMS/Messaging? This is new to me so any pointers would be appreciated.

If you have a script for how the communication should progress, you can hand it to someone else (like a VA) in another timezone and they can do it as you sleep.

Secondly, if your text communication is similar to a 'conversation' or 'chatting' (conducted in real time), you can make it more asynchronous. Treat it like sending an email and include a lot more info/questions in each message. Possibly, your respondent will reply in the same manner. Just don't overwhelm them.
