My experiences calling 90s Chatlines
PARTYlines/CHATlines although most would say the name is interchangeable I will tell you the main difference as far as I know.
Partylines back then were usually free for both women & men to call.
ChatLines 99% are free for women but cost men an insane ungodly ridiculous amount of money.
PartyLines would have a type of message system where you'd leave a message about yourself , the opposite sex could hear it while browsing & leave you a message l they would also have what they called LIVE ROOMS or something like that where a limited number of people on the line (usually 9 or 10 but a few were unlimited.) could speak to each in real time like 3 way calling.
A ChatLine had you make a greeting & once you did everyone of the opposite sex could hear it as well as you theirs, then You could choose to move to the next person.
Send a private message , basically the DM of the 90s.
or the third option
You could invite the person to join you in a PRIVATE CONVERSATION which would connect the two of you together like a normal phone call but at any time without a single word the person could push a button & POOF they're gone faster that you can yell KAISER SOSA!
I know this entire thing sounds strange, or weird or whatever but really think you'll be surprised.
This introduction was longer than I'd planned but the details surrounding these lines , how they operated & how I operated them is important.
I'm gonna post this in short parts & try to do so regularly.
If ANYONE is actually reading my shit please let me know . U could just leave a thumbs up
