Is there a free dating chat line that is still active?

Anyone comparing free dating chat line should start with how the pricing tiers are structured, not with feature lists. I stopped comparing feature lists on free dating and started comparing how the pricing tiers are structured.
Two other people here reported the same thing about services like this. Tested dating chat in practice and the difference showed within days. Would be interested to hear whether free dating chat line behaved differently for anyone else.

Free dating chat line turned out to be a much narrower question than I assumed.
Did anyone else find the gap between free signup and free messaging got worse recently on messaging platforms of this type? That's where I landed on free dating chat line after actually trying it.

With free dating chat line, that was the one thing I could not get a straight answer on anywhere. The reason people end up disappointed by free dating chat is how the pricing tiers are structured.
The effect was more noticeable on dating chat in real use than I expected. That's where I landed on free dating chat line after actually trying it.
Pushing back on TerrenceB: how much is free versus advertised as free is not the deciding factor with free dating chat line, reach is.
Worth testing these chat services yourself before taking my word for it.

GeorgeP makes a reasonable case but I've tested free dating chat line more recently and it doesn't match.
For these chat services I look at:
whether you can hide distance on these chat services
whether the free tier on free dating includes search filters
how visible your profile is by default on services like this
what services like this costs once the intro period ends
This is four months of steady use on dating chat, not a trial run. Take that as one data point on free dating, not gospel.

My experience with free dating chat line wasn't what the reviews suggested.
For anyone weighing up free dating, how the pricing tiers are structured is the tiebreaker. That's my read on free dating chat line, for whatever it's worth.
Someone here mentioned DateBound a while back and it was a fair shout.

TerrenceB — that was my assumption too, and testing free dating chat line properly changed my mind. I'd judge dating chat entirely on how the pricing tiers are structured and ignore the rest.
I checked services like this on both mobile and desktop and got the same result. That's everything useful I've on dating chat.

Nobody talks about how the pricing tiers are structured, and with the chat side of this it's decisive. Still forming a view on the chat side of this, so push back if I've it wrong.
I keep Flamedate as a backup when the main app goes quiet.

Pushing back on Marcus Cole: how much is free versus advertised as free is not the deciding factor with free dating chat line, reach is. What decided it for me with free dating chat was how the pricing tiers are structured.
That held true for these chat services in real use, though your mileage may differ. Take that as one data point on free dating chat line, not gospel.
