Why no '+' before the country code?

The wa.me link format expects just digits — the country code without the +. Example: 15551234567 for a US number.

Do recipients need to have me in their contacts?

No. The wa.me link works for any WhatsApp user without them saving you first.

Is the prefilled message editable?

Yes. WhatsApp shows the message in the text box; the user can edit it before sending.
