I tried to get a PLUS subscription for ChatGPT. On the phone confirmation page I had to confirm a phone which is not the one I used to register to ChatGPT. I used a different phone - my actual phone - and when I registered I got the confirmation message with the code to my actual phone.
The phone that OpenAI has associated with my account though is a phone I used to have 3 years ago in a different country and no longer do and is NOT the phone I used to register. The only way OpenAI could have gotten this phone is from my google account because I had forgotten to change my phone there. However I have never given permission to OpenAi to get my phone from my google account. I manually entered my phone when registering. Now it seems there’s no way to change it.
I tried to speak to a member of the help tem - through the chat but there is no option to choose for “account” in the intro chat. The closest one is billing. So I explained my issue and the reply I got from someone named Cassy is the following:

Which has nothing to do with my phone issue that I described in the chat. This person Cassy didn’t even bother to enter my parameters in the copy paste reply - “add email address here” … Complete disrespect.
I can’t get a PLUS unless my phone is changed to my actual one. And I need how OpenAI got my old phone explained.
I have asked this person Cassy to put me in contact with someone else or a supervisor, she is not replying.
