Apple and OpenAI SMS verification on a virtual number
·SMS.Red·Markdown
Apple ID and OpenAI (ChatGPT) both send SMS when you add a phone. SMS.Red lists Apple and OpenAI as separate services. Buy the matching row, paste the number into that product, and read the code in Messages.
Apple ID
Apple is strict. A 20-minute OTP can finish a single prompt. If this number becomes a trusted phone number on the Apple ID, rent Apple. Losing that SMS channel is how people lock themselves out of iCloud.
OpenAI / ChatGPT
OpenAI asks for a phone on many new accounts. Use the OpenAI service on SMS.Red, not a random unused number. If you expect password resets, rent it.
For Claude and Binance, check New rental for the currently available service options and terms.
FAQ
Can one rental cover Apple and OpenAI?
Unlimited Rental can receive more than one sender. If either vendor is picky, buy the per-service rental for that vendor.
