I can’t sign up for that. I tried authorizing Codex a couple days ago. For some reason, their system says my phone number has been used for verification 3 times even though it definitely has not. I’ve had this phone number for over 20 years. OpenAI support is useless. They just keep repeating the policy without actually helping me.
- jaggederest 1mo agoGet a burner and use it? If you're spending $200/mo on something, $40 or whatever for a burner phone seems like a pretty cheap price.
- paxys 1mo agoYou can get a phone number online for a few dollars.
- jaggederest 1mo agoHistorically those are less useful because some of the verification systems require a real phone number and that your name is associated with the account, depending on what and how they verify. It's annoying, I use a google voice number as my primary, and it often gets rejected.

- fireant 29d agoThere are several tiers to these services, some are selling real us phone number verifications at about 0.5usd/text while others are selling virtual phone number verifications at much cheaper. From some limited experience with the former, there is rarely if ever any problems with rejections.

- weakened_malloc 1mo agoUse TextVerified, load up like $5 of credit and OAI verification is like $1.00. Then when your account is made, ensure 2FA/passkey is setup then you don't need to worry about the phone number.
- stavros 1mo agoThanks for that tip!
- _345 1mo agoYes I filed a support ticket with them and explained that their system is broken and they just did not care. I explained how it was impossible for me to use it 3 times already as I've only made 2 chatgpt accounts EVER, and only recalling entering my phone number for one of the two chatgpt accounts. I told them that this issue locked me out of codex and chatgpt for work and they weren't willing to do anything about it. Totally useless support. I ended up borrowing my gf's phone number just so I could get access for work. Ridiculous
