Virtual Number for ChatGPT and OpenAI Phone Verification
OpenAI's phone requirements have changed over time. Early ChatGPT sign-ups required a phone number; today most accounts are created with email or a Google, Microsoft or Apple login, and a phone may be requested only in some cases, such as certain new accounts, sign-ups its systems flag, or the API platform. When OpenAI asks, it sends a code by SMS. Noir SMS rents you a carrier mobile number for 20 minutes and shows the code in your dashboard, refunding you automatically if it never arrives. OpenAI may also limit how many accounts one number can verify.

- US · Canada · UK
Quick answer
Usually you won't need one: most new ChatGPT accounts sign up with email or a Google, Microsoft or Apple login without a phone. If OpenAI does ask, for example on some new accounts or on the API platform, rent a US, Canada or UK number on Noir SMS, enter it, and copy the code from your dashboard. No SMS within 20 minutes means an automatic refund.

How to get your ChatGPT code
Rent and enter the number
Choose ChatGPT (OpenAI) in Noir SMS, select a country, and enter the number on OpenAI's verification screen.
Enter the code
Type the code from your dashboard. If OpenAI resends it, the new SMS arrives on the same number while it's active.
Before you verify ChatGPT
Organization verification is separate
Access to some advanced API models and features may require verifying your organization, which involves an ID check rather than a phone code. A virtual number doesn't satisfy that requirement.
Secure the account with MFA
In ChatGPT's security settings, turn on multi-factor authentication with an authenticator app and keep your login email current. The rented number won't be available for future codes.
Supported countries still apply
OpenAI serves only supported countries; the US, Canada and UK are among them. The number's country doesn't change where OpenAI considers you to be located.

ChatGPT virtual number: FAQ
Does ChatGPT require a phone number to sign up?
Usually not anymore. Most people create a ChatGPT account with an email address or a Google, Microsoft or Apple login. OpenAI may still ask for phone verification in some cases, and requirements change over time. If you see the phone step, a Noir SMS number can receive the code.
Why is OpenAI asking me to verify my phone number?
OpenAI may request phone verification for some API platform accounts, for sign-ups its systems consider risky, or in other cases it decides. The requirement can differ between users and change without notice. If it appears, a number that receives SMS completes the step, and Noir SMS refunds you if no code arrives.
Can I use a virtual number for ChatGPT verification?
Yes. When OpenAI asks for a phone, it sends a code by SMS, and Noir SMS numbers are carrier mobile numbers that usually receive it. OpenAI can still reject a number. If that happens or no SMS arrives within 20 minutes, the charge goes back to your balance automatically.
OpenAI says my phone number has already been used. What should I do?
OpenAI may limit how many accounts can be verified with one number, and a recycled number may have reached that limit. Cancel after 2 minutes for an instant refund and try another. Don't use multiple numbers to collect extra free credits or get around usage limits, which breaks OpenAI's terms.
Is it allowed to verify OpenAI with a rented number?
For your own account, yes. OpenAI's terms and Noir SMS's acceptable use both prohibit creating accounts in bulk, sharing or reselling access, fraud and getting around suspensions. Use the number for a single verification and secure the account with your own email and MFA.
