Yes. ChatGPT requires you to verify your phone number when creating an account. Even if you use Microsoft or Google account, it is mandatory to verify your phone number.
Why does ChatGPT need my phone number when creating a new account?
According to the official documentation on OpenAI, ChatGPT requires a phone number for security reasons.
They state on their official document:
- When you sign up for our platform, we do require a phone number for security reasons.
- This allows us to verify your account and ensure our platform remains secure.
- We don’t use your phone number for any other purposes, and we take your privacy very seriously.

You can use the same phone number to verify 2 different accounts at most.
Does ChatGPT send the verification code via voice/email?
Phone verification can only be accomplished through a text message via SMS (or WhatsApp if it is available in your country). The code cannot be sent via email or phone call.
Why is ChatGPT always down?
Because ChatGPT got popular very quickly and the developer company seems to struggle to scale their servers to adapt. They also serve the whole world and experience very high demand. It seems that this causes their server couldn’t respond very well to new circumstances from time to time.
How to log in when ChatGPT is down?
If you are struggling to log in to ChatGPT because it is down, there is actually not so much thing to do by yourself. The only free thing that is worth doing is to log out and try to log in.

How to Upgrade ChatGPT account to Plus?
ChatGPT Plus is a paid subscription service that provides users with faster response times, priority access to new features, and access to ChatGPT even during high-demand periods. ChatGPT Plus members also have the added benefit of being able to use the latest GPT-4 model.

Do ChatGPT Plus members experience errors too?
