Party Lines

Last year, over US$4 billion was generated by professional party line services. People who call a party line will be put in contact with a paid professional. Many party lines are free to call but charge you if you want to speak to the professional. A few party line services offer free trials and will not charge you until you have been talking for a certain period of time. When people call a party line they are often asked for their credit card details to verify that they are over the age of majority in their area. Some party lines use a service known as live callback, where a customer calls a receptionist and then a suitable person calls the customer back. Party lines are sometimes used by men who need to confess things they may not be able to talk about with a friend, family member or a therapist. There are some party lines that are Internet-based. Most party line services will bill your credit card under a discreet name so it will not be evident who you are calling.

Single Phone Chat Lines

Unlike a party line where you talk to a paid professional, phone chat lines put you in contact with other singles in your area to talk to. Many chat lines have free trial periods and will only allow you to talk to other singles for a set length of time before they charge you. Like party line services, most phone chat lines services will bill your credit card under a discreet name. Many people find phone chat lines an ideal way to find other singles in their local area. Some companies even make use of Bluetooth technology in mobile phones to help you locate singles close to you.
