This is the number you should save in your contacts to start chatting

OpenAI has captured attention this Wednesday with a rather interesting move. On its tenth day of news, the company led by Sam Altman has announced that ChatGPT already has a phone number. This allows us to incorporate the famous artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot into our agenda to interact with it through new media.

If you are in the United States, you will have the option to make a phone call with ChatGPT. This is possible thanks to the voice functionality that we have seen in the past. If you are anywhere else in the world, after adding it to your calendar, it will appear among your WhatsApp contacts. And you can start a text conversation at any time.

OpenAI has published the number 1 (800) 242-8478, which will be useful if you are only in the United States. If you are outside the North American country, you need to add the US country code so that WhatsApp can find the contact. So if you want to use the function from, for example, Spain, you must save the contact +1 (1) (800) 242-8478.
