Dec 19, 2024, 12:55 PM

OpenAI has introduced a new way for users to interact with ChatGPT by making it accessible through phone calls and WhatsApp messages. Users in the United States can now call 1-800-CHATGPT (1-800-242-8478) to have voice conversations with the AI assistant, receiving 15 minutes of free calling time per month, no account required. Globally, users can message ChatGPT on WhatsApp using the same number. The service is powered by the GPT-4o mini model and is experimental, so availability and limits may change. This initiative aims to make ChatGPT more accessible across various devices, including landlines and mobile phones.
