Why OpenAI blocks VoIP and virtual numbers
OpenAI requires phone verification to limit account creation and prevent abuse. The platform explicitly rejects VoIP numbers—including Google Voice, TextNow, and most virtual number services.
- •"We couldn't verify your phone number" error on signup
- •VoIP numbers rejected outright—no code sent
- •"Phone number already used" when recycled numbers are detected
- •US numbers have highest success rate, but must be real-SIM
OpenAI states they will not accept VoIP numbers. We provide real-SIM numbers from US carriers, but cannot guarantee acceptance as platforms may change policies.

JoltSMS provides real carrier SIM numbers from US mobile networks (T-Mobile/AT&T)—not VoIP. These are treated like normal mobile phones by verification systems.
- Real carrier SIM numbers—not VoIP or virtual
- Dedicated to you alone during your rental period
