What is SMS Chat?

ManD8 SMS Chat allows you to text back and forth with ManD8 members without revealing your mobile number. You can text via your mobile or via the ‘Text Me’ button located beneath the main profile photo of each ManD8 member.

How do I start a SMS Chat?

You can initiate a SMS chat in the following three ways.

1.Go to the profile of the ManD8 member you would like to SMS chat with and send a text via the ‘Text Me’ button located beneath their main profile photo.

2.Text MANCHAT followed by their username plus your message to 81148

3.Text M8 plus your message to 81148 to start an SMS Chat with randomly selected guys.

Please note, shortcode 81148 is available for UK mobiles only. ManD8 members outside the UK please text to +447797803901

Once sent the recipient of your message will receive a notification on their mobile giving them the option of accepting and replying to your request. If they accept, you will receive a message from them, your message is delivered and you can begin texting back and forth.

I'm not a Mand8 member, can I use SMS Chat?

Non-members (within the UK) can join in ‘random’ text chat by texting M8 plus a message to 81148

ManD8 SMS Chat is unavailable to non-members outside the UK

How much does SMS Chat cost?

Mand8 SMS Chat is charged at 15 wallet points per text plus the standard network text charge. Please note this only applies to registered mobile numbers.

Non members and Mand8 members without enough wallet points are automatically text billed £3.00 (2 X £1.50 SMS). Billing supplies 300 wallet points (credit to send 20 SMS messages). Any message sent after credit runs out will initiate a new billing. This is a non subscription service. Text billing is available only to UK mobiles.

How many SMS Chats can I conduct at the same time?

A maximum of six SMS Chats can be conducted at any one time.

I sent a text via 81148 but I haven't received any texts, why?

This may be because your phone isn't receiving SMS messages (in which case we recommend contacting your network provider). Shortcode 81148 is available for UK mobiles only. If you are outside the UK you need to be a ManD8 member and text to +447797803901.
