ChatGPT
Phone verification is no longer required for new OpenAI account creation or ChatGPT usage.
API
Phone verification is now mandated on platform.openai.com for generating your initial API key, though not for any subsequent API key generation after that.
Our default drop-down is set to the United States.
If WhatsApp verification is available for the country you select, the screen may tell you that your one-time code will be sent to your number on WhatsApp.
After the code is sent, enter the code from WhatsApp to continue.
