You must be 18 years or older to join the TexTalk Service. |
|
To join the service you must text the keyword which appears in the promotion to shortcode 88199. This will identify you as male seeking female, female seeking male, male seeking male or female seeking female. |
|
You will be asked to confirm your age and the age of the people you wish to contact by replying to a free message. |
|
A separate message will invite you to respond with an 'introduction' message to be sent to other members. |
|
Assuming that you have confirmed that you are over 18, you will receive a message billed at £1.50 unless you are female seeking male in which case there is no charge for the service. |
|
Introduction messages will be checked prior to being forwarded to other matching members. You may not put any contact details in your introduction messages. |
|
You will be charged £1.50 for each 6 messages that you receive from other members. As an introductory offer, the first £1.50 will entitle you to 15 messages from other members unless you are female seeking male in which case there is no charge for the service. |
|
You will receive introduction messages from other matching members. You may also receive messages from other members in response to your introduction. |
|
Messages from other members come from a mobile number to which you can respond directly. These messages will be forwarded by TexTalk to the member. The number that the messages come from is not the member's mobile number and it is thus possible to exchange messages anonymously. |
|
Messages which you send to other members will be checked for foul or intimidating language, racist or other threats and gross sexual indecency. Such messages will not be forwarded and you will be warned and barred from use of the service if these are repeated. |
|
After 6 billed messages have been received, you will receive a free message reminding you of the cost of the service and instructing you to send the word MORE in order to continue to chat. |
|
You can cease using the service at any time by sending the word STOP to the short code 88199. You will not be able to send or receive messages through the TexTalk system once you have sent STOP and your age and introduction messages will not be stored. |
|
You can temporarily stop receiving TexTalk messages till the next day by sending SUSPEND to the short code 88199. Send MORE to 88199 when you want to start receiving messages again. |
|
If you do arrange to meet someone through the TexTalk service, please take sensible precautions. Arrange to meet in a public place and tell somebody where you are going. |
|
There is a 24 hour manned help line available if you have any difficulties or questions with the service on 0870 345 3537. |
