OpenAI tests letting users sign up for ChatGPT with only a phone number | TechCrunch
Briefly

OpenAI has introduced a phone number sign-up option for new users of ChatGPT in the U.S. and India, facilitating easier account creation.
However, users signing up with a phone number cannot access premium plans or utilize multi-factor authentication without verifying a valid email.
Recycled phone numbers can lead to errors, and OpenAI advises users to contact support for resolution, with no workaround available currently.
Despite significant user growth, OpenAI reported a loss of approximately $5 billion in fiscal year 2024, highlighting ongoing financial challenges.
