For the 10th day of OpenAI’s “12 Days of Shipmas” event, the company decided to go a bit old-school by launching a phone number for people to call and speak with ChatGPT.

U.S.-based users can call 1-800-ChatGPT (1-800-242-8478) on any device that can make calls — including a rotary phone — as OpenAI demonstrated in its live stream. If you have an international number, you can message ChatGPT using WhatsApp.
