Free chat

Free chat in about ten seconds

Free chat here means exactly that: no trial period, no coins, no premium badge and no card details. You answer three quick questions, choose a chat name and start typing. If you only have five minutes, five minutes is enough.

Why there's no sign-up

Most sites ask for an email so they can send you marketing. We don't need it to run a chat room, so we don't ask. Your chat name lasts for your visit. If you'd like to keep it so nobody else can use it, you can create a free account later, but it's optional and most visitors never bother.

That also means there's nothing to cancel. Close the tab and you're done. Come back tomorrow and pick a new name, or the same one if it's free.

Text first

This room is plain text chat. No camera, no microphone and no voice notes. Plenty of people prefer it that way: you can chat from a busy train, from the office, or late at night without waking anyone up, and nobody sees your face unless you choose to share a photo in a private conversation.

Making the most of a quick visit

• Start with a question rather than just "hi". Questions get answers.
• Look for people who are already talking and reply to something they said.
• If you're on a phone, turn your screen sideways for a wider view of the room.
• Don't take silence personally. People step away from their screens all the time.

How we keep it free

The site is supported by advertising on the public pages, not by charging the people who chat. That keeps every room, every feature and every private message free for everyone, with nothing held back for paying members.

If you like the quick, no-commitment feel of this room, try Random Chat next. For a room where nobody knows anything about you, head to Anonymous Chat.

Questions people ask about free chat

Is there a limit on messages? No. Chat as much as you like, for as long as you like.

Are private messages free too? Yes. Every feature is open to everyone, guest or registered.

Will I get emails? Not unless you create an account and ask for them. Guests never give us an email address, so there's nothing to unsubscribe from.
