I would think so, as long as you're not exchanging social media or giving them an outside way to contact you. I think Phrendly just wants to be sure that you aren't luring customers off the platform.
Yeah, that's what Arousr accused me of doing in their termination e-mail. Smh. I'd be afraid to give links to someone on Phrendly. I wish that jamma person was still active on this forum to clarify. Maybe I'll ask Phrendly via e-mail if there's any rule about whether or not I could send a link to a customer who tips me DIRECTLY ON THE PHRENDLY PLATFORM.

I have only been asked a handful of times for videos and when I tell them my price ,which is a bouquet of roses ,they ghost .so whatever I'm not really losing out on anything. It's become almost non existent now on here to even sell any pics bc of the cheap fuckers.

There's no option to send a video directly through the app so you have to upload it to a third party and then send them the link/download.
Yeah, I just tried to see what would happen if I went onto the Phrendly website (instead of the app) on my laptop, and try to send this dude a 7-second clip of me showing off my long tongue. Lol. It said "Photo not uploaded. Sorry, supported file types are GIF, PNG, and JPG."
You've been able to send members links before to videos, and it was fine?

I haven't but I keep hearing from other ladies on here that have apparently. I was more of a picture gal bc it was easier & I didn't have to worry about getting banned for sending strange links with vids attatched.

I had to log off MFC for a little bit because I'd gotten a video call invite from a guy on Phrendly. I really wish these guys would stop doing that shit without asking first though. I told him that he needs to send me a quick text next time before video calling me. It was definitely worth it, though, logging off MFC...and quickly exiting the OBS encoder to do this Phrendly video call. I earned $50 from it, and this guy wasn't demanding af and needy like that previous dude on Phrendly I'd video chatted with.

I finally closed my phrendly account today for good. I was stuck at $9.10 for like a year now. It seemed like I was never gonna hit the $10 payout and had given up on that app. I logged in recently out of curiosity and saw that they've been deducting a $2 monthly "maintenance fee". I closed my account. Phrendly was great when it first came out. I used to make decent money back then but it is crap for me now.

They tried that with me! I had funds and then when I logged in again after a long period they were all gone. I wrote a email complaining and they returned them but I bet they steal a LOT of small amounts that people don't notice. I never agreed to a "maintenance fee" .

I've been seeing that shit too, and I don't like it and don't remember agreeing to that at all! Good to know that they'll return it to you after you complain. That's what I'll do then.

Ok they are really getting shady. I replied to a text and checked my balance. I did not get paid for it and oh so coincidently that text would have made me to the $10 payout :/ .
TheBrownFox
10-14-2022, 01:10 PM
One thing I can't stand is how the "current balance" amount shown is always $4 more than it should be. Like right now mine is saying $15.37, but when I tallied it up I've earned $11.37. I have NO IDEA why they do it like that, but it's annoying af.
Also I just had another video call with this dude Angel (who's a cheap bastard who had the nerve to ask for a pic afterwards...I told him he has to TIP ME for a pic). I'm not gonna fucking send you a naughty pic just because you did a 43-second video call with me. Lmfao. Lmao. And I think the site is screwy af, because he made like 3 or 4 video call attempts, and it kept hanging up. And part of the video call was "billed at the audio-only rate." *Shrugs* Also...they need to make it to where EVERY time someone video calls you, it makes a dialing sound or something. Now when he first texts me or calls me today, it DOES make that loud sound. Great. But then when he calls me right back, it doesn't make any sound at all, and it just pops up on the screen where I have to be looking at it or I'll miss it. So like if I run to the bathroom real quick, I could be missing a video call (when he's calling me right back) because there's no sound. This is kinda reminding me of some of the tech issues that Arousr had been having when I was on there.

So this is ridiculous.
I got a guy who did a long session of texts and the last 2 times he messaged me at least 4-5 messages (and I made sure to message back the same amount) I didn't get money..
My computer is in pieces so I don't have my TB address book. What is their email again? I can't find it anymore.
This is the same owner as NF, right?
Thanks

It must've started 5 months ago because I had $9.10 in my account and when I logged in this month, the money was all gone. I know they don't pay out until $10 and I checked my statement. They definitely didn't pay me out. It looks like they just kept deducting that maintenance fee until I had no money left.

Does anyone know how long it takes to receive deposits in a new bank account after updating your payout info? I changed my payout information last Thursday so I guess every payout after last Thursday will go into my new account?

I had a guy go batshit when I asked him to pay for a pic & report me for scamming. Will support take his side on something like this? As it is I got like $8 arguing with the incel over it lol but I don't want to get my account banned because of some broke jackass.

I imagine they'll probably take your side. After all, that's what the gift feature is for.

^^ I hope so!
For the monthly pay options. Do they take out $2 for that like they do by check? Right now I have it set as daily but I'd prefer monthly if I don't get a fee.

Contact support and ask them. Maybe if you provide additional proof they will approve you.

Which tax forms are we supposed to use for this app? 1099-NECs? I need to amend a previous year's tax return.

Does Phrendly have an option (like SextPanther does) where we can send one message to EVERYONE in our phrends list, and maybe I'm just not seeing it anywhere on the screen? Or do we really have to sit there and individually message each guy?
Edit: I know there's the option to compose a message to send to people on the "long lost phrends" list. But my question is more about sending a message to every single person in your history (Even though some of them will obviously have deactivated accounts and whatnot)...as a mass text.

Read through this thread. You don't need to start from the beginning, because the site has changed quite a bit, but maybe go back a year or two. Ride the new girl energy. It's very tough to make Phrendly into something that is lucrative long-term.

My question is this…are we allowed to do that? I just got myself fired from the texting site Arousr today (which I’m devastated about), and I want to make sure I don’t accidentally break any rules on any more platforms.
I’ve earned over $20 today just from one guy, and I think he’s gonna video chat some more when I get home. I don’t wanna fuck this up the way I fucked up with Arousr.
So sorry to hear. I had negative experiences with that site. They didn't even approve me.
What happened?

I don't even care about the site anymore.
When I just realized that if he sends me 4 lines of text one after another & I send 4 back I ONLY get money for one, I WAS FURIOUS.
That's not how it should work.
So with this very talkative guy I made almost nothing. sigh

I've given up on this site. I blocked a long time reg bc he has stopped sending a gift that I require for a very short sext session. Fuck these entitled losers! I rarely use it anymore anyway bc these idiots don't like to spend money on there anymore.

Thanks. I just saw your post. Yeah, they accused me of trying to take an Arousr customer off-site for shows, but that was NOT what I was doing...total misunderstanding on their part. I was actually trying to persuade the customer to get services from me (text or video) ON the Arousr platform, and that he's welcome to follow me on Twitter. My mistake was mentioning the word "Twitter." That's where I fucked up because I'm so used to being allowed to freely say "Twitter" when I cam on MFC. The Arousr rep shot herself in the foot with her unprofessional behavior towards me and on ACF, and I and the other models on that forum called them out on it. The other ladies backed me up about how fucked up it was how they did me, and I noticed the Arousr rep. hasn't said a peep on ACF since September...
After they'd banned me from the site and even their Twitter page (which is just ridiculous), I also said something about that silly little "Foot fetish campaign" where they wanted models to take several feet pics for FREE...for the chance to win a measly $20 cash prize. LOL.

Support said that it's because the app hasn't been updated in so long, but they're working on releasing an updated app to the App Store. Which they've been working on for literal years. So, I guess the app doesn't work for me anymore. I'll just have to keep using it from my mobile browser. Really sucks. I wonder if it's possible to uninstall an Apple update.

Back in October when I e-mailed Support, and told them that the Phrendly app keeps disabling my video chat option (Even though I want video chat ON, and on the web browser it shows that it's ON), they said that the Phrendly iPhone app is no longer allowed on the Apple Store. This is why you guys won't be able to find the app in the App Store, if you didn't already have it. And it's also the reason the app keeps crashing when you go to open messages (It does that with me too). The reason I've been keeping the Phrendly app on my phone is that it had seemed like the app would be show me new guys to star...even more than the web browser Phrendly would. But I know how ridiculous that sounds. I probably should just remove the app, so it's one less thing taken up space on my phone.

I removed the app and I've been using the web browser on my phone. Phrendly hasn't been in the App Store for years now, but I was able to use it/download by reinstalling my previous subscriptions. It's a shame. Phrendly is a sinking ship and it seems that no one is particularly eager to change that.
