How to use the OpenAI chatbot if it’s not available in my country?

A new chatbot has quickly become very popular. However, in some countries, people keep getting the error “OpenAI not available in your country” when trying to use the service. If you happen to live in one of such countries, you need some sort of solution to be able to register on the platform. Below in this article, we will tell you about the ways to bypass this limitation.

If you’re not from one of the OpenAI available countries, your solution is buying a virtual number from Tiger SMS. On this platform, you can find numbers for registration on any online service including OpenAI chat. Just choose a number from one of the countries where this service is available and enjoy. Also, Tiger SMS provides numbers for Vkontakte, Telegram, Viber, Uber, Tinder and hundreds of other platforms. It’s fast and cheap - try it today!

Why doesn’t https chat OpenAI.com work in some countries?

Since the developer of the OpenAI service is an American company, the operation of their services is not possible in several countries due to political reasons. Among such countries are, for example, Afghanistan, Iran and Venezuela. If your country happens to be on the list at the present moment, you can register through a virtual number that comes from a different country. These lists change from time to time, so you should research as to which countries are currently on the “available” list and buy a number from there. With Tiger SMS you’ll be able to choose almost any country while purchasing a number.


OpenAI does not open in my country: what to do?

Keep calm. Since you’re not alone in your problem, there is a solution. If you want to use the chatbot OpenAI in a country where it’s not available, you need to do the following:

  2. Buy a secure virtual number from Tiger SMS and register an account through it. You’ll receive your verification message online and will be able to confirm your “foreign account” within minutes.
