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.

## Frequently asked questions

### 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.
