But for real, it's probably GPT-3.5, which is free anyway.

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.

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.

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

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
