Not sure when this happened but the CIDR list is no more [WayBack] https://www.whatsapp.com/cidr.txt:
Dear partners, Please note that we have migrated the latest IP pools of WhatsApp to Facebook Mobile Partner Portal. Feel free to browse to the Settings page of the portal and download the latest WhatsApp IP pool: https://fb.me/mpp_support Further IP pool updates are also done through the portal and are no longer distributed via email or through WhatsApp web site.

Not without reason there is a FAQ: How do I move my chat history over to my new Android phone?
