Step-by-Step Guide to OpenAI Registration with Virtual Numbers from SMSOTP: Tips and Troubleshooting

In our previous article, we discussed how to register for OpenAI using a virtual number. To summarize: if OpenAI isn't available in your country, you can mask your real geolocation and receive a confirmation code using a disposable virtual number from a country where registration is permitted.

Through analyzing requests to our technical support, we've noticed that not everyone succeeds in their first attempt at registration. This topic is highly relevant, so we've identified the most common mistakes and provided practical advice to help you avoid them.

Why Do Users Fail to Register for OpenAI?

When you purchase a virtual number through SMS-Activate for OpenAI registration, the number itself doesn't directly impact the success of your account creation. However, OpenAI's system matches your device’s IP geolocation with the country code of your virtual number. If the country of your device doesn't align with the country of the virtual number, the confirmation SMS won't be delivered. This is due to OpenAI’s security protocols.

If done correctly, bypassing these restrictions should be seamless. However, users often make mistakes that result in failed registration attempts. Here are the common errors:

1. No VPN or Proxy Used: Not using a VPN or proxy during registration can cause the system to detect your real location and block registration.
2. Mismatched Geolocation: When using a VPN or proxy, users sometimes fail to match the geolocation of the VPN with the country of their virtual number.
3. Not Clearing Browser History: After an unsuccessful attempt, many users forget to clear their browser history or start a new proxy/VPN session.

It's important to note that free VPNs or proxies are often blacklisted by OpenAI due to their widespread use. For better results, we recommend using a paid, reliable proxy service.

How to Register for OpenAI Successfully:

To ensure successful registration, follow these steps:

1. Select OpenAI on SMSOTP: Choose the OpenAI service on SMSOTP to purchase your virtual number.

2. Check Your Country: Be mindful of the country you choose when purchasing your virtual number. The geolocation of your device should match this country.
3. Use a VPN/Proxy: Turn on a VPN or proxy and select the same country as the one linked to your virtual number. You can use this geolocation-checking tool to confirm your device’s location.
4. Clear Browser History: If you've attempted registration previously, make sure to clear your browser history, cookies, and cache. Use incognito mode to avoid any traces of past attempts.

By following these steps, your registration should be successful.

Important Tips:

• Avoid Multiple Accounts: OpenAI’s rules prohibit multiple accounts for a single user. Attempting to create multiple accounts can result in blocking.
• Clear Your Digital Footprint: Frequent requests from the same IP address, even if unsuccessful, can lead to blocking. But if you delete your "digital footprint", cookies and cache and use incognito mode, the algorithm will not understand that you are registering one more time.

By adhering to these practices, you can easily register for OpenAI and begin exploring ChatGPT without any hassle. At SMSOTP, we aim to make the process of registration smoother for you, providing reliable virtual numbers and secure solutions for your online needs.
