OpenAI has recently launched ChatGPT on WhatsApp, allowing users to interact with the AI chatbot through the phone number 1-800-242-8478 (or 1-800-CHATGPT). This service is available globally for messaging, while users in the United States and Canada can also make voice calls to this number for up to 15 minutes per month without needing an account or subscription[1][2][4][6].

- No Account Required: Interaction does not require a ChatGPT account, making it accessible for more users.
- Usage Limits: Voice calls are limited to 15 minutes per month, and messaging may have daily limits that will notify users as they approach these thresholds[3][6].
How to Use
