Tips for South Africa numbers

Why use a South Africa number for ChatGPT (OpenAI)?
Day-to-day life in South Africa runs on WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram, yet ChatGPT (OpenAI) remains the app for an OpenAI account registered in a supported country. A +27 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
South Africans abroad: Expats in London, Perth and Auckland keep a +27 number for WhatsApp and banking apps that send one-time PINs to a local phone.
OpenAI can ask for the phone again for API access, billing or security reviews.
