Safety & etiquette

US Phone Chat is meant to be a relaxed, respectful place for adults to meet. A few simple habits keep it fun and safe for everyone.

Protect your privacy

Use a screen name rather than your full name, and don't share personal details — your address, workplace or financial information — with someone you've just met. Your phone number is never shown to other callers, and you decide if and when to exchange contact details.

Trust your instincts

If a conversation feels off, end it. You can always go straight back to browsing other greetings — you're never obligated to keep talking to anyone. Take your time before moving a conversation off the line.

Be respectful and consensual

Treat other callers the way you'd want to be treated: be genuine, be kind, and respect a no. Everything on the line is between consenting adults — harassment has no place here, and you can report or skip anyone at any time.

Meeting in person

If you ever choose to meet someone from the line, do it in a public place, tell a friend where you'll be, and arrange your own transport. Go at your own pace — there's no rush.
