Online Dating has Safe Calling

Private Call Express, the new creation from Phone Matrix, Inc., is a phone service found on three popular dating sites. Private Call allows people to talk on the phone without giving out their numbers. Members can now get to know each other fast - without risking safety and identity theft - on the three popular online dating sites.

PrivateCall is designed to be simple and effective for the dating public. Daters set their availability and then just `click` to select who they want to talk to. When the other party OKs a call, Private Call does the rest with proactive calling. The members are phoned and connected, with the inviting party being billed at the end of the call. If a person can`t be reached, Private Call`s heuristics intelligently repeat dialing until both parties are successfully connected.

The need for anonymous calling in the online personals industry has been evident for some time, but implementations have been gradual largely due to the amount of technical resources needed to integrate the services. Private Call Express promises to crumble that barrier with literally overnight installation - making the phone contact feature easily accessible to all personals site operators.

`There`s simply too much of a gap between online daters using instant messaging, chat and email to them showing up for their first in-person coffee date. Anonymous phone calling services allow online daters to talk on the phone and get a sense of chemistry, without divulging their telephone numbers,` stated industry analyst and editor of Online Personals Watch, Mark Brooks. `Anonymous phone calling services will proliferate in 2006 as the online personals industry becomes ever more sensitive about safety.`
