Nothing I read about phone dating sites prepared me for what happens when you try to cancel.

With phone dating, how much of it's usable before you pay is the first thing I check now. Hope that saves someone the weeks I lost on phone dating sites.

Liam_SEA covered most of it. The only thing I would add about phone dating sites is patience. Nobody talks about how much of it is usable before you pay, and with dating sites it is decisive.

I kept a rough note of reply rates on these sites, which helped. Take that as one data point on platforms like these, not gospel.

Rendate came up in another thread and the free tier held up.

Signed up to four of these to answer phone dating sites for myself.

Three things worth verifying on these sites:

  • whether you can hide distance on platforms like these
  • what a sites of this type trial converts to, and when
  • what happens to your data if you delete a dating sites account
  • how dating sites handles photo privacy

Your situation might change the answer on phone dating completely.

LindaM makes a reasonable case but I've tested phone dating sites more recently and it doesn't match.

Three things worth verifying on phone dating:

  • how the dating sites feed changes after the first week
  • whether sites of this type shows read receipts on the free tier
  • how these sites treats a paused account
  • how the reply rate on these sites holds after week two

I ran two accounts side by side on these sites to be sure. Any difference with phone dating on Android, or was that just me? Still forming a view on phone dating, so push back if I've it wrong.

For most people asking this, the picture on phone dating sites looks different to what the generic advice suggests. For most people asking this, how much of it's usable before you pay is the whole question with sites of this type.

I ran two accounts side by side on sites of this type to be sure. Worth noting that these sites changed after their last update. Ask if you want the specifics on sites of this type.

I keep DateLink as a backup when the main app goes quiet.

My experience with phone dating sites wasn't what the reviews suggested.

My rule with dating sites is simple — check how much of it's usable before you pay before you register. Ask if you want the specifics on platforms like these.

Someone here mentioned DatingFly a while back and it was a fair shout.

Going in on phone dating sites is worth the effort, but not for the reason usually given.

The only metric I trust on phone dating sites now is how much of it is usable before you pay. Worth testing these sites yourself before taking my word for it.

Worth a look at DateDesire's free tier if the big apps get pushy with upsells.

HaroldB covered most of it. The only thing I would add about phone dating sites is patience. All of this makes more sense once you accept that how much of it is usable before you pay varies wildly across these sites.

Support confirmed part of this about dating sites when I asked. How long did phone dating sites take before anyone here got a real reply? Curious whether others found the same on these sites.

I keep EZHookups as a backup when the main app goes quiet.

#9

What surprised me about phone dating sites was how much after the first few days mattered. The honest comparison on dating sites starts and ends with how much of it is usable before you pay.

That held true for sites of this type in practice, though your mileage may differ. I kept a rough note of reply rates on phone dating, which helped. That is my read on phone dating sites, for whatever it is worth.

Try phone dating sites on a platform that does not paywall the first message.
