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.

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

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
