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 :/

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
I will play the part & tell them all they wanna hear until they stop spending LoL Have you guys also noticed how most of them are douchey in the sense that once you sext with them then they stop talking to you & just move on but are still on the site? Glad I'm not REALLY looking for love smh

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
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!

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
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):

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
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!

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
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:
Quote:
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."

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
Awesome, thanks! I think that answers all my questions... for now lol

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
has anyone sent short clips? I received one but cant send one - I recorded as a .wmv and tried to convert it to everything imaginable with no luck - I dont really do clips so I am a lost kitten - thanks ladies
@tsani you can turn the phone off and on as well as the forwarding of the text
-
Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
I have tried to send but never worked for me :( for that case I use that as an opportunity to push for video chats.
Hows traffic been for everybody? I'm hitting like $20 less than my goal everyday but mostly from regulars.
I think I need to change my GIF but god I look like garbage nowadays.
Also,
We need to create a book of scripts because im running out of creative ideas for sexting like lord have mercy
-
Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
I send vid clips from my phone but like only 50% of the guys I send them to can actually view them. The other 50% tell me the clips don't play. 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
Lol A book of sexting scripts sounds good. I'm always saying the same stuff over and over again

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). Glad that is all behind us, and that the links now go directly to your profile page. Phew!

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
okay so recently I have had a couple of guys ask if I had kids and when I say no or that they are older they vanish - gives me a super pedophile vibe - has this happened to anyone else or is it just me and my spideysenses kickin in

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.

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
What is the name of the company when they put the money in your direct apposite account? Is it phrendly or something else?
-
Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
Jamma I have a question,
Someone asked about doing a video chat with another male
and I was wondering what the protocol was, and if I could have my husband on video chat with me
-
Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
absolutely Jamma - I wanted to check with other ladies to see if it was just me or not - it is odd in my opinion for them to ask me at my age - ya know? and maybe they are running out of sips but I would think if they are low on sips that is a wasted question - but..... I can not always decipher the male mind - no offense --
