📞 Dial 1-800 number for ChatGPT

Think AI is only for the tech-savvy? Think again. OpenAI is bringing ChatGPT to your fingertips — or your rotary dial.

What’s New?

This week, OpenAI unveiled two new ways to chat with ChatGPT, blending old-school and modern communication:

• 1-800-CHATGPT: U.S. users can now call ChatGPT directly for voice conversations. Each month includes 15 minutes of free call time.

• Works Anywhere: From your smartphone to your grandpa's vintage rotary phone, ChatGPT is now accessible, no cutting-edge tech required.

• WhatsApp Integration: International users can text ChatGPT via WhatsApp, although it runs on a simplified model with daily caps. Upgrades like image analysis could come soon.

Why It Matters

AI isn’t just for apps and gadgets anymore. By launching a phone line and a global WhatsApp service, OpenAI is bringing advanced tech to places and people that didn’t have access before. It’s a modern hotline — no operators, just AI.

Whether you’re tech-savvy or a landline loyalist, AI just got a lot closer.
