ChatGPT · OpenAI

Give ChatGPT a phone.
Real calls, your approval, grounded answers.

Open Calls is the ChatGPT integration that makes real phone calls for you: ChatGPT sets it up from one prompt, quotes each call, calls the business and brings back a grounded answer.

Verified with ChatGPT Developer mode. The public ChatGPT directory listing is in review; until it is approved the prompt link does the setup.

What ChatGPT can do with a phone

  • Check whether a shop has something in stock and what it costs
  • Ask a clinic, office or hotel a question and bring back the answer with the quote
  • Wait through a phone menu and hold, then bring you in when a person answers
  • Call several places with the same question and compare the answers
  • Translate a call both ways when you join

How it connects

An MCP connector added in ChatGPT (Settings › Apps & Connectors › Developer mode), signed in with your Open Calls account.

  1. Press the button: ChatGPT opens with the getting-started prompt already typed.
  2. ChatGPT walks you through a free account and your free minute.
  3. ChatGPT adds the Open Calls connector and signs in on opencalls.dev.
  4. You give it your own mobile number for a first test call, approve the quote, and hear your AI call you.
The getting-started prompt
I am new to Open Calls (opencalls.dev), an AI phone-calling service. Walk me through setting it up and making a first test call with the free minute, one step at a time, waiting for me to confirm each step.
1) Account: I open https://opencalls.dev/signup?via=google, sign in with Google (email and GitHub work too), and a personal account is ready for me.
2) Free minute: on the page where I approve the connection (or at https://opencalls.dev/app/start) I give my mobile number and you call me at once for a one-minute introduction, free and without a card; that number becomes my callback number. Calling anyone else needs credit I add myself in https://opencalls.dev/app/billing.
3) Connect: help me add Open Calls to ChatGPT. MCP server URL: https://opencalls.dev/mcp. Authentication: OAuth (I sign in on opencalls.dev and approve access to my account). Your own documentation: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/12584461-developer-mode-apps-and-full-mcp-connectors-in-chatgpt-beta. Walk me through Settings › Apps & Connectors › Developer mode › Create step by step if you cannot add it yourself. When a call may need my answer, choose “Always allow” for respond_to_call so answers reach the person on the phone in time.
4) Confirm: run get_workspace and tell me that my account is connected, my available credit, the destination rates and its next_step.
5) First test call: I will give you my own mobile number. Quote the maximum charge for a one-minute call from the destination rates in get_workspace, ask for my approval, then use call_business in ask mode to call me and ask one simple question, for example what I would like for lunch tomorrow. Poll get_call until it ends and tell me exactly what I answered, with the supporting quote. After that we can try a real business.
Getting-started guide: https://opencalls.dev/start
Never place a call, spend credit or change settings without asking me first; every call needs my explicit approval and a maximum charge.

Questions

Do I need ChatGPT Plus?

You need a ChatGPT plan with Developer mode connectors (Apps & Connectors). Open Calls itself has no subscription; calls use prepaid credit.

What does a call cost?

Pay as you go at $0.25 per minute of AI conversation, billed by the second after a one-minute minimum, with a cheaper waiting rate while the line keeps the AI on hold. Your assistant quotes the maximum before every call and you approve it.

Does my assistant call anyone without asking?

No. Every call needs your explicit approval and a maximum charge, calls are information-only, and you can stop a call at any time.

Is there free calling time to try it?

Yes. Sign in with Google, give your mobile number, and your AI calls you for a free minute to introduce itself, with no card. After that, add credit to call anyone.

Which countries can it call?

United States, Canada, Israel and the United Kingdom today, with per-destination rates shown before you approve.

Other assistants

Any other MCP client or REST integration works too: see the developer guide.
