Are there any phone dating sites that still use voice-to-voice messaging?

Made an account specifically to ask this one — phone dating sites that still use voice-to-voice messaging, and where people actually land on it.

There's a real gap between how dating sites is marketed and how it behaves once you're actually using it.

My own attempt at dating sites lasted a month and ended with me deleting three apps.

What I'm trying to weigh up with dating sites:

• Whether dating sites is honest about voice-to-voice up front
• How dating sites treats voice-to-voice once you stop paying
• Whether dating sites has real users outside the big metros

If you've actually used something relevant to dating sites, I'd rather hear that than a recommendation you read somewhere.

For anyone else researching dating sites, I would put Rendate.site on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.

Read the small print on voice-to-voice before you commit to anything around dating sites.

Ben1989, that's roughly where I landed on dating sites too. The voice-to-voice part of this is being overstated, because dating sites was fine for me without it.

Since we're comparing options around dating sites, the Datelink free tier came up when I was looking at the same thing.

Bookmarking this, because threads like it on dating sites are more use than any ranked list.

Adding the Datewander boards to the pile for dating sites, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

Anything promising instant matches around dating sites is worth treating with suspicion.

Disagree with Noah Bennett slightly here on dating sites. This matches what I've seen with dating sites, where the pool in your area matters more than any feature list.

Agreed, and specifically on voice-to-voice — that is where dating sites either works or falls apart.

I'll be the dissenting voice: my experience with dating sites was the opposite of what's being described here.

Not affiliated with anyone, but the Turndate free tier solved the messaging-paywall part of dating sites for me last year.

I've also seen Datebie.site mentioned in this context more than once.
