- O__________O 4y agoAgree. Specifically, signup process is: email, email-verification, create-password, full-name, phone. Leaving the process to try the login will return you to the request for a phone.
- londons_explore 4y agoThe phone number is to try and stop people signing up multiple times to get more free credits. At least in the USA, getting hold of large numbers of phone numbers for free isn't easy.
- mcbuilder 4y agoWhen you are competing directly with a comparable free solution maybe these hoops don't make sense.

- Dma54rhs 4y agoStarts from 1 cent a number, doesn't have to from USA. It does add cost I agree, but these things are sold in bulk for very cheap.
- O__________O 4y agoLink? Even for a one-time-use for verification, last I looked for one-off number verifications, it was $1 per authentication; to be fair, didn’t search too hard.
- arecurrence 4y agoIndeed as VOIP numbers are banned. However, I know a number of people that aren't using DALL-E because they only have VOIP numbers (This is an ever growing reality today). They got to the phone step and were unable to continue (and support never replied to their requests for help).

- smallerfish 4y agoPlus they disallow voip, which is a problem for me since I only have voip.
- lazyjones 4y agoIt's pretty evil to troll people into giving them e-mail and name and then have the audacity to ask for a phone number. Without giving people who don't want that the possibility to delete the previously entered personal data...
