Short answer: Not on its own. ChatGPT can talk with you by voice, and OpenAI runs 1-800-ChatGPT, a number you can ring from the US or Canada, but we found no way for ChatGPT to dial a business for you. Connect OsmO from ChatGPT's plugin directory and it can: ChatGPT works out who to call and what to ask, OsmO places a real phone call, and the answer comes back into your chat.
We found no built-in outbound calling in ChatGPT. 1-800-ChatGPT is a line you call, not one that calls out.
OsmO is listed in ChatGPT's plugin directory, so you connect it once and then just ask.
OsmO calls shops, clinics, restaurants and helplines for people in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia.
You start with 50 free credits: about 16 answered calls, no card.

The full guide
What ChatGPT can do with a phone today
Three different things get called "ChatGPT on the phone", and only one of them makes calls:
- Voice mode lets you talk to ChatGPT. The conversation is between you and the AI; nobody else is on the line.
- 1-800-ChatGPT (1-800-242-8478) is a number you dial from a US or Canadian phone to talk to ChatGPT. It answers calls; it does not place them.
- A calling plugin such as OsmO gives ChatGPT a phone of its own, so it can ring a business, ask your question and bring back the answer.
| Phone job | ChatGPT on its own | ChatGPT with OsmO |
|---|---|---|
| Ring a shop, clinic or restaurant and ask a question | No documented way | Yes |
| Find the business's number for you | It can search the web for it | Yes, from its public listing |
| Work a phone menu and wait on hold | Not documented | Yes |
| Makes calls for you if you live in Canada, the UK or Australia | Not documented | Yes: sign in with your local mobile number |
| Cost to try | Not applicable | 50 free credits, about 16 answered calls |
How to add OsmO to ChatGPT
- In ChatGPT, open Plugins and search for OsmO.
- Choose Connect. ChatGPT opens OsmO's sign-in page.
- Enter your mobile number and the code we text you, then approve access.
- Back in the chat, ask for a call: "Call the hardware store on Main Street and ask if they have a 10-foot ladder."
OsmO asks ChatGPT to read you who it will call and why, and to wait for your yes before it dials. ChatGPT Business and Enterprise workspaces can also add OsmO as a custom MCP server with the address https://api.getosmo.app/mcp.
What it costs
OsmO For my AI starts with 50 free credits when you sign in with your mobile number, with no card. An answered call uses 3 credits however long it lasts, and a call nobody answers is free, so the free credits cover about 16 answered calls. When they run out you can keep calling from the OsmO app.
Where it works
You can sign in with a mobile number from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom or Australia (India too), and calls are placed from the OsmO number for your country. OsmO calls listed businesses in your own country, such as shops, clinics, restaurants and offices, and toll-free helplines. With the free web credits it does not call personal numbers; with the OsmO app it can also call your saved contacts.
OsmO is for errands, not emergencies. For anything urgent, call your local emergency number yourself.

Is OsmO free to use with ChatGPT?
You start with 50 free credits and no card. An answered call uses 3 credits, so that is about 16 calls; unanswered calls are free.
