Question....don't the guys only get 10 free messages when they sign up?

Just wondering cause I only got $2.80 for answering 10 messages?

HI Kat:

Yes indeed, credits are being made retroactively, as long as your friends spend or earn the minimum -- give it time.

what does that mean? "being made" and what do you mean, "give it time?" how much time? and these are girls who have earned over 100's of $$$.
When should I expect the $ for my referrals? I really need to know before I refer anyone else to the site.

Also, some one asked, how many messages does a guy get for free? I thought it was 20? I never have understood Phrendly Math.

2. Since we went down to 35 cents earned per text, how much did everything else go down?

The pricing system is sooooo crazy. If I want to charge $4 per minute for cam, how would I set my minutes per drink ??? I am not understanding it AT ALL! Someone please help!

It is a bit confusing, Girly. The reason is, we frame things in terms of how much time you give for a drink, rather than how much you charge per minute. But, here's the math to get to price per minute:

A drink is $10.
You want to charge $4 per minute, so take $10 divide by $4/min and you get 2.5 minutes per drink. That's the equivalent of $4 per minute. Hope this helps!

^ I think it's a "secret" what keeps us there. I've been bouncing around between the first and third page. I've had a lot of traffic lately but usually the guy just says hi and then I never hear from him again. Or I get a few messages out of him and he disappears. It's been difficult to get the full 10 messages from anyone.

i agree b/c i used to make bank on here and now i make jack shit. They say hi and then disappear. OR they ask you where you from and when you tell them they disappear. OR like yesterday I had a guy that was hell bent on trying to come to my work and i told him i don't allow that. and he split didn't even ask for nudes or anything.

Say a guy messages u first and you and him are messaging back and forth but he stops talking. Can you still message him even if its been over 24 hours and he would be the one that would be paying if he messaged u back again?

Pay direction for messages is set permanently; initiator is forever the payer. This is not true for phone and video calls. The initiator always pays for phone or video calls.

The only thing I can suggest on here is just to keep messaging them only after they've first messaged you in order to start up more texts out of them. It's a pain in the ass really LoL I also try to allude to the fact that I live closer to them by asking them where they are first so maybe that'll keep them texting a little longer than say if I say I'm from NY & they're in Fl for example.

hahaha what a moron. I would've just strung his ass along until he stopped texting. I had a guy keep asking for my fb to make sure I was "real" and I told him I didn't have one he got all pissy & said ya just as I thought, none of you on here do. I told him he sounded like a stalker lol . It was just hilarious that I could argue with him & still get paid for it lol.

Lmao! Exactly! First of all, why would I give out my social media to guy hounding me for it and sounding super clingy after just seeing my "name" and a couple pics??

Tbh I just string em along until they don't answer and then it is on to the next. I don't have high goals for this site, I am just trying to get money for my phone bill. Lmao.

I do the same thing actually! I usually try to ask them where they are from first. The only downfall to this is if they message me again in a few days or a week. I have to go back through the messages and see what state I told them I'm from lol.

Try the "+Add note to self" feature. You'll see it at the top of each chat, under your phrend's picture. Click the link, type some notes (e.g. "told him I live in FL") and click the save button. You'll now see that note under his picture each time you chat with him.

Wow so sneaky telling them you're local haha I'd be too scared to try that cuz they might catch me in the lie by asking further questions, but I've discovered some tricks to string them along till they at least have spent all their free money on me. Like I'll say "I live in your sexual fantasies" when they ask where I live lmao Or before spilling the beans that I'm in rural Northern California, I'll ask them why they're asking me where I live. Like say "why? would you wanna hook up with me?" And of course they say yes, so then I go on to ask what they'd like to do with me sexually yada yada

When I worked for the one texting company, this is what we had to do ^ they would tell us where they were from, (one of the first questions we were to ask them) and then we had to find some place close. using google to find common places, local attractions and things like that. but if they just say they are in florida, you an pick cities further away but still in the same state.

The thing is tho. wasn't this site NOT suppose to be for dating. more for fun.. online fun? Real relationships, only online. so what would it really matter where we are? or do the guys really believe its a dating site?? Don't guys read /:O

the thing is a lot of times they ALWAYS try to turn any online service into a dating site . Theres so many times i get guys on cams.com that leave when i tell them where i live if its not close to them because its linked in with adult friend finder . guys on SM do it all the time . when guys are looking for "love" they try and turn ANY online service to talk to women into a hook up/dating service. its annoying yeah but thats the reality

I wish they would read! It's annoying but they almost never want to use the site the way it was meant to be used. They all wanna meet up once their dicks get hard. I've had guys talk to me about taking a plane across the country to hang out with them. Some even have the audacity to ask me if I'd relocate permanently to where they live so I can be their girlfriend :/

Holy crap, I finally made my way through this entire thread *whew*.

And now I have questions. If they've been answered already, sorry, I did skim through some parts.

1. Will this work with a phone number you get from a free texting app like TextNow? I would be using my spare iphone that's only connected via wifi and doesn't have a phone plan on it. I'm too paranoid to use my regular phone.

2. Is the iphone app available yet?

3. I know the referral money will be paid if minimum earning and spending thresholds are hit, but what are these minimums?

4. Do you really have to work your ass off advertising all day to make this site work?

5. I'm confused about private profiles. It sounds from the website like if your profile is private, it's pretty much inactive and nobody can contact you. Why would someone want to make their profile private then? Am I missing something?

6. I know you advertise on facebook. Do you use pictures of people on the site for this? If so, is there a way to opt out? Because with fb's facial recognition software and just fb's creepiness overall that's a whole lotta nope right there.

Thanks in advance!

"1. Will this work with a phone number you get from a free texting app like TextNow?"
--> Possibly, but maybe not. It's just another leg where things could go wrong, so it might even work "mostly" but not always. Let us know if you try it out. However, you should feel comfortable using your own actual cellphone. We keep that number private by running everything (calls & texts) through special Phrendly-only relay numbers.

"2. Is the iphone app available yet?"
--> It is in review at the App Store. We've gone back and forth with them over tiny things for quite some time now, so we think we're super close!

"3. I know the referral money will be paid if minimum earning and spending thresholds are hit, but what are these minimums?"
--> Your friend must spend or earn $15 of non-promotional money.

"4. Do you really have to work your ass off advertising all day to make this site work?"
--> You'll get better answers from others on here. I can tell you there are women on this thread that *work it* in a major way and they are among our most successful providers. We do spent a metric boatload of cash advertising the service, too, so you should get some exposure without your own individual efforts. I think every person has their own goals and--like everything else in life--you're likely to get more out of it, the more you put into it.

"5. I'm confused about private profiles..."
--> This is an option mostly for men, so they can partake in the service as a consumer without displaying themselves publicly.

"6. I know you advertise on facebook. Do you use pictures of people on the site for this?"
--> We do not use site pics for our FB advertising. The idea has been brought up, but would only EVER happen by asking users to opt-in. We're sensitive to the privacy issues you mention.

Hope this helps. Thanks for your interest in Phrendly!

Some good news on the Tell-A-Friend link front: Your unique link will now take users directly to your profile page, rather than the generic homepage. Yay! (finally)

The experience differs for unrecognized vs recognized (logged-in) users, and whether or not your gender/seeking gender match that of the link owner.


Try it out by opening this link in a new incognito window (which is how a new user would see it):

Thanks so much for answering my questions, Jamma, that helped a lot!

I know that the platform masks my real number, that's not my concern. I just like to keep my personal and sex work stuff (especially contacts due to many apps linking that stuff) completely separate on separate phones. I know that technically this isn't sex work, but still. It's a different persona that I wouldn't want people in my life to know about, they might think I'm cheating on my partner or something lol, and I don't plan on using my real name obvs. I may look into getting a plan for my iphone if this turns out to be a good fit for me. Or I might just try it on my regular phone. I'll have to do some thinking.

So that leads me to more questions haha!

1. Can I change my number later? I assume yes but I try not to assume too much ;)

2. My regular phone is an Android. Is there an Android app on the way as well?

3. What happens if someone calls and it goes to voicemail? I know there are some platforms that mask the number but it will go to your regular voice mail if you don't answer. I wouldn't want my outgoing message to say my real name or number or anything.

Thanks again!

Oh, and I almost forgot...

I saw this on the Phrendly TOS page and wondered what it was about or if you could give some more clarification on it:


Phrendly may charge an Account Maintenance Fee of two dollars ($2.00) per month for all Member accounts with a positive balance. However if the Member uses the Member account to purchase Member Services, then for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of such use, Phrendly may waive the Account Maintenance Fee for all active Member accounts.

"1. Can I change my number later? I assume yes but I try not to assume too much ;)"
--> Yes, you can do this in the right-hand panel of your profile page using the Phone Number dropdown

"2. My regular phone is an Android. Is there an Android app on the way as well?"
--> Yes, we're making progress on the Android app, but it's a couple of months behind the iOS app

"3. What happens if someone calls and it goes to voicemail? "
--> We do our best to detect voicemail and will stop the call, BUT even the best of these systems isn't perfect so YES, you should NOT have identifying info in your outgoing message, just to be safe.


As to the account maintenance fee, that's just to keep the liabilities from inactive accounts from growing too crazy. This mostly applies to buyers, not providers, but essentially says, "if you leave a balance in your account and don't do anything with it for a year, we reserve the right to charge $2.00/month to keep your account open. If there's any subsequent activity, the 12 month inactivity clock gets reset to zero, and we won't charge any monthly fee."

Guys have tried to send me their vid clips too, but they don't play for me either (like I care tho lol). It's kinda weird and I feel kinda bad when the guys can't see them cuz I advertise sexy vid clips on CL

This has been fixed: Your friends will now get the correct $10 for signing up. Also, we went back and manually credited all those accounts that only received $5 instead of $10 (between the time we changed the promo until we fixed the bug).

Hopefully, it's more to do with them running out of free drinks. We certainly haven't noticed any sort of vibe to which you refer and I can tell you we have ZERO tolerance for such things, so please report if this EVER becomes more than a spidey-senses thing.
