You choose which callers are of interest to you. You can request live conversations with other callers or send them messages. If you receive messages from callers that you don’t want to speak to or get messages from, you can block them from sending you messages. All callers are calling from the privacy or their home or even their office. The possibilities are endless and are only limited by your imagination.


Q. Is Talk121 FREE?
Our phone chatline is always FREE for women and men who are first time users, get 60 minutes FREE.  When men call and use the 4 digit coupon code (affiliate ID) they will be given 60 minutes of live action FREE. Men will NOT have to give out a credit card number, speak with an operator or sign up to anything! The local system in their area will detect whether or not the number they are calling from has ever received a Free Trial Membership and automatically give them one if they have not used that number before. Then if they like it, which we know thousands do, they can purchase packages of time for as little as pennies per minute.

Men, buying the Premium Package, use the system for FREE from 3AM and 5PM every day until they have used up their minutes or for 3 months per package, whichever comes first. With our other priced packages, men get Happy Hour from 3AM to 5PM every day where they are billed 1 minute for every 2 used.


Q. What Number do singles call?
A. For the live phone chatlines, singles can call one of the Local numbers in their area. These can be found on our home page. If callers are not sure of the number in their area, they can call our Local Phone Number Finder Toll-Free Hotline at 1-888-TALK-121 (1-888-825-5121) and it will play the numbers in their area or any area they request when prompted.


Q. What happens when someone calls the local chat line in their area?
A. When someone calls the Talk121 local number in their area, they will instantly be connected with other local, like-minded callers! Callers simply record a personal description of themselves and what they are looking for, and then listen to the descriptions of other callers.

To request a live connection, just press "1" after hearing a member’s greeting. If you prefer to send an instant message, you can do so by pressing "2" after hearing a greeting you like. You will always be given the option to re-record a message before you send it, so don't be afraid to say exactly what is on your mind. Be creative, imaginative and adventurous!

New members can purchase their membership number and passcode online or by calling our 24-hour customer service line 1-877-FREE-121.


Q. If I'm an affiliate, how do you keep track of how many referrals I send to you?
A. When a caller call's any of our Chat Line numbers, our system will ask if they are a new caller or a regular caller. New callers are then asked to enter their 4 digit Promo code (affiliate code) that they see in the banner, or ad in front of them, in order to receive their 60 minute trial membership number. Once they enter the Promo code our system automatically digitally reads out an active 60 minute membership number. Our IVR ( Integrated Voice Response - Datelines) track how many numbers are given out per each Affiliate code.


Q. Can callers call your office and get a Free Trail Membership number?
A. No. Callers can only call one of the chat line phone number in order to get their Free Trial Membership number. When they call any of the local chatline numbers, they will be prompted for a 4 digit coupon code number (affiliate ID#) in order to get their Free Trial Membership number and passcode. Callers can only call our office in order to buy a membership of for help in using the system.



Q. What are the advantages of being paid for referrals?
1. Firstly, you don't have to be concerned about customers purchasing anything. You make your money simply by referring potential customers to us.

2. Getting persons to call our ChatLines and get Free Trial Memberships is Easy as Pie. Thousand's of Free Trial Membership numbers are given out daily. It's easy to give something away for Free.

3. Caller's simply get their number automatically just by calling our Chatlines. They don't have to speak to any operator; they don't have to punch in their credit card number or give any information whatsoever. It couldn't get any simpler. They don't have to Give anything in order to Get their Free Trial membership number. They just have to call our automated system and get a Free Member ship number. That's all!


Q. If I'm a member of a commission based program do I get paid on all sales regardless of whether they are make through the web site or through your office?
A. Yes. When a customer orders on the web site they will always be asked to use the 4 digit coupon code that they used when they got their FREE Trial Membership number. By using this number they will be available to participate in promotions and giveaways. We frequently reward customers with Free time or discounts on packages of time, if they have given the 4 digit coupon code (affiliate ID number).

When a customer orders through the office, they are also asked for the 4 digit coupon code that they used to get their Free Trial Membership number. If for some reason they don't remember it, our customer service specialists are expert at helping them find where they originally got it from.

The vast majority of caller's however, remember the 4 digit coupon code that they first used because it is their "ticket" to Free Stuff once they are members as well.


Q Is their any advantage for a customer to call the customer service line in order to get a paid membership?
A. Yes. If someone calls our customer service line, they can get their first package for half price. This is a major incentive for persons to order. Again, another advantage to this is that are always asked for the 4 digit coupon code in order to get their first package for half price. It's another way of insuring we get your 4 digit coupon code (Affiliate ID number).


Q. When someone clicks on a TALK121 banner that I have on my site and they go to your site, how will the customer know what coupon code (i.e. my Affiliate ID number) to enter when getting their Free account or they are signing up for a paid account?
A. When someone clicks over from your site, our site tracks which affiliate is sending the traffic and flashes the appropriate Affiliate ID (coupon code) in several prominent places on the site. No other coupon codes will be listed on the site other than the coupon code (affiliate ID) of the referring site.



Q. What is an advantage of being paid a percentage commission on each sale?
A. With this method you are linked to all the purchases of your referral for as long as this customer is still ordering. If the customer is still ordering months or years later, you take advantage of their entire ordering term. A huge percentage of first time purchasers, re-order and continue to re-order again and again. While you may not see your commissions coming in as fast as the CPA method, over time you will start to see your commissions mushroom as members re-order and continue re-ordering.


Q. What are some of the advantages of your ChatLine program over some of the online Personals companies?
A. 1.The biggest advantage is the reason stated above. Many if not most affiliate programs that deal with any form of chat or personals programs pay out Commissions on the first order only. However the bulk of the revenue in "this business" is made from re-order's. We let you take advantage of that fact if you are a member of the commission based payout program.

2. For CPA based programs, most dating, chat and personals sites make the referred person sign up in some way, by giving their email address, name, personal information, as well as often being asked for credit card information and sometimes pages of personal likes and dislikes as well. Whewwww! There are usually a lot of hoops that referrals have to go through in order for you to get paid with most programs.

3. If referred users visit Talk121, do not make a purchase, but come back to the site at a later time (up to 1 year, providing our cookie remains on their computer) the web site will still display the coupon code of the original referring affiliate, to make sure they are credited with the referral.

Our CPA only requires the referral call one of our chatlines and get a Free Membership number. They are not prompted by our systems for any information whatsoever. None, zip! Just call and get a FREE 60 minute membership number to one of the hottest chatlines in the USA. What could be easier?


Q. What would be another advantage of belonging to the ChatDollars affiliate program? Aren't there a lot of 'chat' programs out there?
A. While online chat and online personals sites have had affiliate programs for some time now, there are very few if any other phone based Chat Lines offering affiliate programs. This is a multi-million dollars a year industry, with the market wide open for the genius of smart affiliate marketers to prosper from. Most affiliates are looking for a 'hot' product that has not been saturated in the market by a lot of other affiliates yet.


Q. Just how popular is chat?
A. According to Wordtracker (June 5, 2003) "chat" was the 177th most searched keyword out of over 350 million keywords in the prior 60 days. Also over 1.7 million persons searched for the word 'chat' in May 2003 on the Overture network.

According to Overture's Search Term suggestions, almost 50,000 searches were done in May 2003 for the term "chat line", on the Overture network, plus thousands more for variations like free chat line, phone chat, voice chat, etc.
