About OpenAI
OpenAI is the artificial intelligence company based in San Francisco that develops ChatGPT and offers its models through the OpenAI API platform. OpenAI can ask for phone verification when you create an account, set up API access or when an account needs additional checks, and it limits how many accounts can be verified with one phone number.
Why People Receive OpenAI Codes Online
Developers often keep separate OpenAI accounts for testing, client projects and personal use. Teams evaluating ChatGPT for a company, students trying the service and people building prototypes use temporary numbers for the phone step so the account is not tied to their personal number.
How to Receive an OpenAI Code Here
Pick a number on our free numbers page from a country where OpenAI's services are available.
Enter it in the verification step with the correct country code.
Refresh the number's inbox after 20–30 seconds and copy the newest code.
Enter it before it expires.
If the number has already been used too often or is not supported, choose another number or country.
Think About What the Account Will Hold
Conversations, uploaded files, API keys and billing details are valuable. A public number is fine for a quick test, but a work or paid account should use your own number, multi-factor authentication with an authenticator app and a secure email address. Do not put production API keys or company data into an account tied to a public number.
Keeping Work and Personal Use Separate
A separate number makes it easy to set up a sandbox account for trying prompts or building a prototype without linking it to your personal phone, while your main account stays separate.
OpenAI and Proxied Mobile Proxies
Proxied provides 4G/5G mobile proxies with real mobile carrier IPs in countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and Spain. Developers who test AI features for users in different countries can choose a proxy in the country they are testing.
