Yes! To get your free trial:

• Grab our most popular package - Membership has its privileges!
• Record your greeting in the Live Connector
• Browse greetings while the other guys on the system hear yours
• When you hear someone who pushes your buttons send them a message or send them a request to connect one on one, man to man, for some private, uncensored, intense chat.

No, all the men on the chatline are real guys, just like you.

A Voice Mailbox works like a richer version of email. It’s for guys to leave you messages when you’re not on the line, or if you’re busy in the Live Connector side of the system. You can listen to all the mailbox ads in each of the categories, and record your own so other guys can leave messages for you. Be detailed and clear so you get the best results. Pick up your messages when you want, respond to the good ones and make a plan to meet in the Live Connector for some intense man-to-man chat.

The Live Connector is like walking into a bar full of men, except you don’t have to deal with the crowds, the high drink prices, or the attitude. In the Live Connector you can browse through all the men by listening to their greetings. Find someone super interesting? Send them a message, or a connection request to get into a private conversation.

In both the Live Connector and the Mailboxes, you can be yourself - who you really are - no matter who you have to be at work or at home.

Yes! To get your free trial:

2. Select your language
3. When asked for a Membership number press the # key.

If your phone number is eligible the system will then offer you a free trial. After that you just need to call from the same phone number to enjoy your free time on Interactive Male.

Your free trial may not work if:

• Someone has already used a free trial from this number before.
• The system cannot read your phone number on call display. You can try pre-dialing *82 to display your phone number to our system.
• There is no time left in the membership.
• It has been more than 7 days since your free trial was issued.

You should look up your local access number, and try calling us that way. In the unlikely event that we do not provide local service to your area, call our friendly, 24-hour, toll-free Customer Service at 1-800-661-6168 and they’ll help you get connected.

We have great deals for new members that make it easy to get on the line and meeting new guys, including a double-the-minutes package that gives you lots of time for a low price. To hear all of our amazing deals and to buy time, call the local number for your area.

No, you can ONLY use your free trial account from the phone it was issued from. However, new free trial accounts will not be issued to a phone number that has previously been issued one.

You must be calling from the phone number the free trial was originally issued. Or it may be that someone has used a free trial from this phone number before.

No. The customer service agents have no information about free trials nor can they issue them.

Once you enter the Live Connector, our prompts will guide you through the simple process of recording your name and greeting for the guys to hear. Remember to speak clearly, directly into the phone and avoid loud areas or loud music.

Your Greeting should say what you want to give for a first impression. Keep in mind it should be easy to understand you and no loud noises or music. You’ll have a much better experience if the guys can hear, and understand what you’re saying…

If you hear from a man who just isn’t your type, simply delete the message and move on. If he is persistent and keeps messaging you, you can block the caller from sending you messages by pressing 7, when the system prompts you. If you think the guy is doing something illegal, or is underage, you can also press 7 again, after blocking him, in order to flag him to our customer service department for investigation.

We want everyone to have an enjoyable, satisfying experience using our system. We will not tolerate:

• Any discrimination based on age, gender or race
• Any references to illegal activity
• Threats of violence or harm

Your greeting is what you record in the Live Connector for the guys who are online to hear right now. Your mailbox ad plays 24/7 for guys to hear and then leave messages for you. The Live Connector is for when you want to chat right now, while mailboxes provide a fun back and forth, especially if you’re looking for something really specific.

Speak clearly, give lots of detail about what you’re looking for and above all else, be yourself! Make sure you listen to it afterwards to make sure it recorded properly (you can always re-do it). You may want to write out what you want to record first and practice saying it.

Send them a message back! You can do this back-and-forth as many times as you like until you decide you are ready to take it further. Interactive Male’s best feature is that you decide when you’re ready to proceed. We keep your personal information private at all times so you can give it out when you’re ready.

Having a Mailbox means you are on the system 24/7 for guys to hear your ad and leave you messages in response. It will do the work for you while you’re at work or asleep. They are free to set up and we have 5 categories to choose from, so the question really is “Why wouldn’t you set one up?”

Yes, a paid membership may be used from any phone.

DO NOT GIVE IT TO THEM. No one from Interactive Male will ever contact you while you are on the system. If you get a message from someone claiming to be from Interactive Male make sure you block and flag them but pressing 7, then 7 again, after hearing their message or greeting.

Your Membership will last as long as you want as long as it remains active. To keep your Membership active you need to log in and use time. If your Membership remains unused for a period of 3 months it will be deactivated without refund.

Your membership number gives you access to Interactive Male, and your pass code is like your bank PIN number so it is important to keep these numbers private and not to share them with anyone.. To protect yourself and your mailbox from fraudulent use, call our friendly, 24-hour Customer Service at 1-800-661-6168 if you lose your numbers. For your security, you might be asked to verify your personal information. Remember your membership number is different from your mailbox number.

In the Live Connector, time is deducted from your membership once you are listening to other greetings of guys using the Connector. In the mailbox system it is free to listen to ads and time is deducted from your membership when you reply to ads or listen to the responses in your mailbox. Time is deducted from your membership on a per-minute basis and the system will inform you when time is being deducted.

The system will inform you of your membership balance when you log on. You will be given the option to purchase more time when your balance is less than 20 minutes. The system will also warn you when your membership balance reaches two minutes.

You may pay by Credit Card, Debit Card, Pre-Paid Credit Card, PayPal, Check-by-Phone, or Western Union.
