ChatGPT, a generative AI chatbot, now has phone number and voice capabilities. Users can call or message ChatGPT at 1-800-CHAT-GPT using a U.S. phone number or WhatsApp.
Unlike the online experience, callers do not need to create an account to use this feature. OpenAI announced that the 800 number is an experimental launch aimed at expanding access to chatbots.
Users can interact with ChatGPT for free for up to 15 minutes each month. Daily limits apply to WhatsApp messages.

OpenAI notes that 1-800-ChatGPT works best in quiet environments, and background noise can be mistakenly interpreted as a prompt.
For those concerned about privacy, OpenAI says records of calls and conversations may be stored “for a period of time for security and fraud prevention purposes.”
ChatGPT was released in November 2022 and quickly became one of the most popular AI tools. It can be used for a wide range of purposes, from personal use to business use and entertainment.
