Recently, OpenAI has unveiled several new features and improvements for ChatGPT, and they’re not done yet. The latest addition is a fascinating capability: users can now call ChatGPT through their phone lines, eliminating the need for cellular data.
ChatGPT has its own dedicated phone number
This announcement was shared by OpenAI during a live YouTube stream, showcasing their technology in action. Now, anyone in the US can dial 1-800-CHATGPT (1-800-242-8478) to interact with ChatGPT and receive the same sophisticated responses available on the web. This telephone access leverages Advanced Voice Mode technology, facilitating a natural dialogue with users.
The primary goal behind offering ChatGPT access via a standard phone line is to enable communication with the chatbot in locations where internet access isn’t available. In their demonstration, OpenAI illustrated a scenario involving travelers on a road trip who may want to inquire about something they see without needing to share a photo or video.
For users worldwide, OpenAI also announced the availability of ChatGPT on WhatsApp. Users can now send text messages to the chatbot using the same phone number mentioned earlier (1-800-242-8478). OpenAI is reportedly developing a feature allowing users to log into their ChatGPT accounts through the WhatsApp bot.
Additionally, OpenAI recently made ChatGPT Search accessible to all users for free. ChatGPT Search allows individuals to pose questions and receive answers based on real-time internet data. The company also added video functionality to ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode, enabling users to engage in natural conversations via video chat.
Moreover, with the recent release of iOS 18.2, iPhone and iPad users can now communicate with ChatGPT directly through Siri.
The ChatGPT app is available for free on the App Store, requiring an iPhone operating on iOS 16.4 or newer.
