According to PANews, OpenAI has announced that ChatGPT now supports interaction via phone calls for users in the United States. By dialing the dedicated number 1-800-CHAT-GPT (1-800-242-8478), users can engage with ChatGPT using both landlines and traditional mobile phones. This new feature is also integrated with WhatsApp, allowing users to send inquiries through the same number, offering functionality similar to the existing web and mobile versions.
Currently, U.S. users are entitled to 15 minutes of free voice calls per month, although OpenAI notes that specific rules and limitations may be subject to change. The company advises users seeking a more comprehensive experience, including additional features like search capabilities, higher usage limits, and personalized interactions, to continue accessing ChatGPT directly through their accounts. This development marks a significant expansion in the accessibility of ChatGPT, aiming to enhance user interaction through diverse communication channels.
