Buy a OpenAI virtual number for OTP verification
OpenAI verifies new accounts with an SMS code before granting access to ChatGPT and the API. An OpenAI virtual number from OTPIXA receives that code online when your own number has already been used or cannot receive international SMS.
How a OpenAI verification number works
OpenAI limits how many accounts a single phone number can verify, which is the reason most people land on this page: a team that already verified one account with a shared office number cannot verify the second. Renting a number for the confirmation is a per-use cost rather than a new mobile contract. Choose OpenAI in the catalogue, pick a country, and read the code from the live SMS panel on the order page.
Developers building against the API frequently need a separate organisation for a client project, with its own billing and its own usage limits, and that means a separate verified account. Researchers comparing model behaviour across regions need accounts created in those regions. Both are ordinary uses that a personal handset simply cannot cover.
You are charged per confirmation from your wallet after seeing the price, and a code that never arrives is refunded automatically when you cancel the order. Because the number is released afterwards, add a strong password and, where OpenAI offers it, an authenticator-based second factor while you still have access. A released number cannot receive a future login code, and support cannot re-associate it with you.
OpenAI declines numbers from ranges it has seen used repeatedly, so a first attempt occasionally fails; another country usually works and the failed order costs nothing. Creating accounts to bypass usage limits, evade a suspension or breach OpenAI's usage policies is outside what this service supports.

OpenAI number questions
Can one number verify several OpenAI accounts? No. OpenAI limits verifications per number, and each rental covers a single session anyway.
Does this give API access automatically? No. It only completes the phone step; billing and API access are set up inside your OpenAI account.
