Companies bundle free ChatGPT Go

Entities: OpenAI · ChatGPT Go · Revolut · GPT‑5.6 model family · Tara Massoudi

Overview

In late July 2026, Vodafone Turkey partnered with OpenAI to launch an unlimited ChatGPT package that bypassed mobile data charges. The promotion included a free three‑month subscription to ChatGPT Go for postpaid users, attracting over one million participants and a seven‑fold rise in related data traffic.

A few days later, Revolut announced a partnership with OpenAI, extending free access to ChatGPT Go across several European markets. On 30 July 2026, the fintech firm detailed tier‑specific offers: Ultra and Metal plans received 12 months of complimentary service (Ultra also got a 12‑month Buddy Pass for a friend), Premium, Pro and Mobile plans received six months, and Plus and Standard plans received three months. The rollout followed OpenAI’s release of the GPT‑5.6 model family and was presented as a core productivity tool for research, travel planning, document handling and small‑business management.

Both initiatives illustrate how telecom and fintech firms are leveraging OpenAI collaborations to meet growing consumer demand for AI tools and to differentiate their offerings.
