I had a video call that lasted at least 14 mins, I checked a few minutes before it ended. The guy refilled his drinks twice during. And after it ended it said it only lasted 3 minutes? Wtfffffff. I contacted support so hopefully they can fix it. Has anyone else ever had this happen?

Sometimes, a call will be broken up into multiple transactions, and confusion arises because the summary is based on only the last of these. For example, if you turn your camera off, audio-only rates will kick in, creating a new transaction. It can be caused by other factors, too. Check "Transaction Details" under Settings (gear icon) >> Balance to see if maybe there are multiple records for this call. Hopefully, that's it. If not, I'll leave it to our trusty CS team to help you out.

Anyone else getting blinded by dicks on short video calls, (have had this happen for anything between 45-90 second video calls) that you're not credited for at all? Sure, even on the highest rate we are not talking about fortunes of sips but it's pretty bad that these guys are getting away with it. Seems to be these dickwads who think they're clever circumventing gifting for pics and think by video they're going to get a quick freeview or cheap 1 drink vid session of me and when they realise I'm not naked or going to get naked they hang up and aren't even charged at all. ��

Yes young guys are starting to figure out ways to get their money's worth. I have had that happen, it's why I don't cam. There should be a minimum time you can set like on CB privates. At least 3 minutes.

Hahaahaha I sent one cheap guy his own dick pic back after he texted at 3 AM "demanding" I send him pics or a video to cum to. He said boob pics or videos would be good.
First I told him to take back his empty beer bottles to get some money to spend then I sent him his own dick pic and I got blocked.

Oh well!!! He wanted pics! LMAO

Idk if this would be possible but something I think would be AWESOME is if we had the option to reorder the pics in our GIF. For example, if you like your 3rd pic best and wanted it to be your 1st pic, you could just drag it and shift it over.

Yes to both. I just took a new gif today, early in the morning (as in 1am), and it was just approved (which I now realize doesn't answer your question); also, I've seen gifs for guys approved over the weekend and (I think I remember having a Saturday gif approved late Sunday) so I would hope it would be the same story for us.

I've also wished I could make a gif I took reordered. It is usually the last one for me that I like best.

Another tip for video, I keep mac's application photo booth open while I video on laptop, that way I have a large view of myself, since phrendly displays such a small window of you in their video programme. Plus it covers him so we both get the best view ��

I've read that you change your GIFs. Do you ever get moved down because of it, or do you stay where you are? Just wondering.....thanks!

Also they used to have filters when you took a photo, they seem to be gone. Does anyone still see them? I'm wondering if it's because I'm on the
cell now not the computer.

So all this leaves is a bright lamp then for your photo? lol

We support photo filters on the web, iOS, and Android app. For web and iOS, you can see and choose them "live" before the 3 pictures are taken. For Android, you apply them after they are taken.

That blows :( I could see how their photo booth software might not be able to support the feature, so it might not be something that's feasible.

I spent a good amount of time reading this thread and decided to sign up. Just waiting on getting approved currently.

My question is this: (for the more veteran girls)

What types of guys are on this site?? I saw someone say there are a lot of vanilla/normal dudes. This is tricky for Me since I am a Pro Domme, however, I am willing to tone that down and alter My persona to be able to capitalize and work the current crowd as best as possible. So please give feedback on the types of guys here? I want to stick with whatever persona I try initially... so what type of persona would fit well on this site?

Thanks ladies <3

The vast majority of men I've encountered on Phrendly have been normal vanilla guys who are either lonely and wanting someone to talk to, or they're looking for a more sexual experience based around sexting, phone sex, naughty video chats, etc. I experience the latter more often but I've also catered my profile to appeal more to those types. I seldom encounter guys who are wanting to be dominated, but it has happened before. I'd recommend going with a more "girl next door w/ a naughty side" type of personality on Phrendly. You will catch more fish with this type. On the other hand, if you go too hard with the domme persona, you may end up scaring a lot of them away.

This is advertised as a regular dating service which means you're getting a lot of vanilla guys who are expecting this to be like Tinder. I say cater towards your audience, and the majority of your audience is not going to be looking for a domme experience. Of course, there will be exceptions, but it's easier to remain neutral in your profile and adapt accordingly once you get a feel for what the guy is into.

Maybe hint towards the pro domme aspect in your "totally", "a little", "mostly", "not at all", description.

I have an important question. I thought about vchatting because although I don't have it turned on 2 people asked me to vchat today. And I really need to earn more. The one that I ended up trying it with i had a problem with my webcam so he got angry and ended up blocking me. My cell has a cracked screen so I couldn't use that because of the glass. He sent me photos of other girls on Phrendly and one photo of the girl and the vchat going through and what the rate was and told me to use that rate. LOL I told him I have my own rates.

So because i'm new to vchattting I don't want to undercut people. I know we can charge so many drinks per minute but.........isn't that just for regular vchat? I'm wondering if others are charging gifts for other activities because the photo he sent me showed me was someone named Mel and it was 14.93 minutes per drink. That's about 15 minutes for a $10 drink so $1.50 a minute. And he said he'd tell me what he wanted to do after we connected. (and yes he is sending other girls photos on Phrendly to me! even big red wet lips that one had no name on it LOL)

So do you charge gifts on top of the per minute rate for extra activities over chat? And do you have a problem getting them to pay it?n do they send the gift in advance. Does anyone charge a deposit to make sure they show up to vchat. I don't want to undercut people that's why I 'm asking. Or do you charge $3-6 a minute and then not charge gifts, or how does it work. You can PM me if you don't want to write it here.

Thanks if you can help, I'd really appreciate it!:)

Just venting:

Has anyone else gotten a lot of rude guys who are new the past couple of days or is just me? Maybe its my turn! lol I don't think I get blocked a lot but I have been telling them when they are being rude and that gets me blocked. Does getting blocked twice affect your rating a lot?

Am I wrong to take this photo offensively from someone who didn't answer twice because you take a long call right after you text and talk to a woman right? lol (I guess his hands couldn't type because they were busy?) Then he asks where I am from and then says he should send a pic too (as I was nice enough to send one in the beginning) We did not talk at all so this was out of context and rude IMO.

I wish we could delete it totally because I've sent photos to the wrong window a few times.

Yes, that's why I was asking. I meant to send a photo to a paying regular and I accidentally sent it to a cheap beggar. Ugh! I deleted it on my end but I was hoping it would delete it on his end, too. Phrendly needs to fix this. Delete should mean totally deleted from both sides of the convo.

So I've been chatting and making a few bucks today. One thing I am disappointed to see is that photos aren't worth more to view than text messages. I believe this should be changed, even like 20 cents more would be nice. I am used to this on SP and feel photos are worth more than words for sure. But I don't want to have to be all "send a gift and I'll send a pic". No... pics should be worth more by default.
Just my .02!

Some texting sites operate this way, but I prefer the way Phrendly does it. Ask for a gift and then once they send it, you can send over a pic. I find you make more this way, and you have more control over what you send and for what amount. For example, my system is rose = selfie, balloons = suggestive nude/thong pic, chocolate box = tits, bouquet = kitty, champagne = nude photo set.

I thought of joining this site but I’m nervous about getting charged money. So I know as long as the guy initiates the conversation you make money. For those of you who accidentally got charged money how could that happen? Was it bc you accidentally initiated the conversation? Do they take our credit card info on this site?

Concerning phrends' accounts getting locked down until they show ID and their CC, could they be given a warning first? Maybe, you have 48 hours to comply before we place a temporary ban on your account. That way, they can message us about it. I know there are a few guys just this past week who got scared off. However, if I could have told them, hey, it's just a formality, it'll take 2 minutes, just go do it because I can't stand the thought of not being able to talk to you anymore... lol. They would have done it in a heartbeat.

It seems like whenever a guy sends a barrage of gifts, his account gets locked so they can verify that it is actually him doing it. More likely, they have it on file that this person sent in their ID and credit card, and said that it is them spending intentionally, and they'd like to continue doing so. If they try to do a chargeback, Phrendly can say they have proof this person knew what the site was and willingly spent money here.

I'm not so sure about age being a factor, yet. Only one of the guys this has happened to with me was younger, 19. Everyone else, recently has been older than 21. It's not always a bunch of high level gifts either. One guy sent a few single roses throughout our chat, some chocolates, and then a bouquet. Another guy sent a champagne, but that was his only gift that day (but had been gifting here and there throughout the previous three weeks), however, he did spend $200 on chat as well. He said he got an email to verify his identity due to a bunch of small charges, which I'd imagine was the champagne and all of the chat refills. Took him two days to get back into his account.

This post is for new people: It seems some people on the first pages do well and the rest don't. Last year it was different, most people earned something, now it's only certain people for whatever reason. Phrendly does push traffic to certain people. When a guy I know from Quebec joined he would constantly get texts saying why not talk to " girls name" she is waiting to talk to you or something similiar. They also asked him to talk to people he had already talked to. They also put girls in searches. So when the guy searches for 25-40 a page comes up and at the bottom there are 4 boxes saying Why not try someone older, and Phrendly chose 4 people ( i saw myself in such a search ages ago when I was busier) Then 4 more boxes of girls came up saying why not try someone younger and they were younger. A few were put on twitter. Also they don't follow you back if you advertise them on Twitter.

Then there are the girls in the Featured Phrends program (you can't say anything related to sex or have certain photos on your profile to be in this program which limits what you make and they don't guarantee they will use you just because you are accepted into it) and I'm sure they have other ways of promoting girls too. If you're past page 30 don't expect much. You will get guys who use the search feature looking for new girls but there are so many it might take awhile before they get to you. I used to do ok on page 30, but ok for me is only texting and phone, most guys don't phone much. I mostly get only regulars now and I think if people attract repeat business they should be rewarded with some new ones too. ( i used to never star people when I was doing ok) I think the girls on the first couple of pages get gifted more as customers think they must be worth more if they are on a higher page. And in some instances they don't even get any chats even on page 1 or 3. A girl posted once that she got starred a lot but got no messages, even on Page 3 and she had been making $500- 800 a week before that. One day she woke up to no stars, no messages, nothing. That has happened more than once.

There are people making $10,000 a month as has been posted. But I thought about this and Phrendly says that they don't record video which means you can do things that aren't allowed on other camsites as there are no rules. So maybe capitalize on that if you videochat. There are reasons for why the gaps are so wide in earnings but noone knows exactly why except Phrendly.

Hey everyone, I've been on Phrendly for about a couple months or so. It was going pretty well but has been super slow in the past couple weeks. I'm wondering if anyone has tips on discoverability. When I first got on, I could star guys forever, but now it'll say "no matches found" after I star a few new guys. Is their database really that small that I've starred them all already? Can I unstar and restar guys, does that do anything? Also does it matter how often I change the gif? Thanks in advance <3

Check that your age range is 18-99, that might be the issue. From what I gather, there are just under 40,000 guys to star from ages 18-99, however, there are guys who join with private profiles, so there are more guys on Phrendly than just the ones who appear in search. Guy profiles are approved in batches randomly throughout the day, so just keep checking. As for re-starring, I haven't found it to be a huge help. I also don't think changing your gif often is important, but that's entirely up to you. I see girls who have had the same gif forever, and others who change theirs with the weather. Don't feel obligated to do it if it doesn't suit you.
