but requires a phone number!

Not for everyone it seems. I didn't have to enter it when I first registered. Living in Germany btw and I did it at the start of the chatgpt hype.

In the USA, you can't even use a landline or a office voip phone. Must use an active cell phone number.

Personal data 😍😍😍

Maybe it depends on how or when you signed up. I never gave a cell number and I can use 3.5.

I think so too

didn't have to enter while creating my first account (which was created before chatgpt)
but they added the phone number requirement ever since chatgpt came out

Ah ok, makes sense. I think I created mine for dalle.

Not anymore. Only API keys require phone number verification now.
