Why does OpenAI demand your phone number, and a particular KIND of phone number at that? For example they won't accept VOIP numbers. I'm not about to give them my real phone number.
It's a deal-breaker for many.

Seems clear that it’s for bots. And they refuse voip numbers because it’s a hell of a lot easier to buy and generate hundreds of voip numbers.

Use 5sim.net. Easy. Don't make this so hard.

Nope. They block burners and workarounds.
