ChatGPT is Now Accessible by Phone

OpenAI introduces a new way to connect with ChatGPT: by phone. Users in the U.S. and worldwide can now enjoy a short chat of up to 15 minutes by calling 1-800-CHATGPT. This feature also extends to WhatsApp, further promoting natural interaction with AI.

Guess what? OpenAI just rolled out something pretty cool—a way to chat with ChatGPT over the phone. Yep, you heard that right. Just dial 1-800-CHATGPT (that’s 242-8478 for those who hate memorizing letters) and you’re in for a 15-minute monthly chat with everyone’s favorite AI. And hey, if you’re not in the U.S., no worries. You can still hit up ChatGPT via WhatsApp. It’s all part of OpenAI’s grand plan to make talking to AI feel as natural as chatting with your barista.

Now, if you’re the type who loves diving deep into all the bells and whistles, the ChatGPT app is probably your jam. But this phone thing? It’s a game-changer for folks who might not be as tech-savvy. And before you ask—yes, OpenAI promises these calls are just between you and the AI. No sneaky training sessions with your convos.

This little experiment is part of OpenAI’s ’12 Days of Shipmas’ (because why not have some fun with it?). Sure, it might seem like a quirky marketing move at first glance, but it’s also a brilliant way to get more people curious about AI. And if you ever miss the full experience, the app’s always there, waiting with open arms (or code, whatever).
