ChatGPT is now accessible via phone through a new initiative called 1-800-ChatGPT. People in the US and Canada can call or message the service on WhatsApp without needing an account. This makes AI more accessible by removing the need for apps or websites—just use a phone to connect.


How to Use It

  • Phone Calls: Dial 1-800-CHATGPT (1-800-242-8478) to start a voice conversation with ChatGPT.
  • WhatsApp Messages: Send a text to the same number via WhatsApp, and you’re instantly connected.
  • No login or account creation is required, and the service is free for users aged 13 and older.


ChatGPT On WhatsApp: Features and Limitations

  • Usage Caps: Users get up to 15 minutes of free voice chat per month and daily text limits on WhatsApp, depending on capacity. Notifications will alert you when you’ve hit the limits.
  • WhatsApp Limitations: Only text conversations are supported—no images, videos, or advanced features like personalized responses or search functions.
  • Knowledge Base Cutoff: ChatGPT’s knowledge is current up to October 2023, so it won’t provide information on events or updates after that date.


ChatGPT On WhatsApp: Tips for Smooth Usage

  • Minimize background noise for better voice recognition.
  • iPhone users can enable the Voice Isolation feature for improved clarity.
  • Using headphones or earphones is recommended for calls.


ChatGPT On WhatsApp: Why It Matters

  • Wider Access: Offering ChatGPT via WhatsApp and phone calls reaches users who prefer not to use apps or create accounts.
  • Convenience: Accessing AI is now as simple as dialing a number or sending a message.
  • Real Conversations: Voice interaction brings a natural and conversational feel to AI communication.

This initiative is a step forward in making AI tools more user-friendly and widely available.
