OpenAI is testing a new feature allowing users to sign up for ChatGPT using only a phone number, eliminating the need for an email. This beta feature is currently available in the U.S. and India, but comes with restrictions, such as the inability to upgrade to paid plans without email verification. Additionally, once a phone number is used for an account, it cannot be reused for creating new accounts.
The company aims to simplify access to its services, having previously introduced features like phone-based chatting and integration with WhatsApp. Despite a large user base contributing significantly to revenue, OpenAI faces challenges in achieving profitability, with substantial losses reported in fiscal year 2024. The company is exploring potential price increases for its subscription services to address financial concerns.
