FAQ
Favourites Category
Do you have a favourite ad category you browse through often? Save it as your FAVOURITES Category and you can then jump right into these ads directly from your Customized Features Menu instead of having to select your options each time you call.
We’ll even notify you if any new ads have been recorded in your Favourites Category since the last time you browsed through it. You can set up your Favourites Category when you are browsing through ads.
FLIRTing
Flirts are messages pre-recorded by us that you can send to each other on the system to show interest in someone. If you’re not sure what you want to say, they are great for starting up a conversation.
To find out if someone has flirted with you, press the TWO key from your Customized Features Menu. New FLIRTS will play first, followed by the FLIRTS you’ve saved. You’ll hear the caller’s box number, followed by the FLIRT message.
You’ll definitely want to get back to someone who’s FLIRTED with you, since you already know they’re interested!!!
VIP List:
Your VIP List is a convenient place to keep track of all the callers you’re especially interested in. To add someone to your VIP list, press the SEVEN key after hearing their ad, greeting, message, or their FLIRT message.
From your Customized features menu, you can hear which members from your VIP list are online right now by pressing the THREE key.
If you send a message to one of your VIP’s Online, you know they’ll receive it right away!
Cheat Notes:
You’ll be talking to lots of people on the system and you don’t want to get them mixed up. CHEAT Notes are reminders to yourself about a specific caller. Record things like a person’s age or interests or anything they’ve told you that you don’t want to forget.
No one hears your Cheat Notes except you.
Text Alerts!
Here’s a great new feature for cell phone users!
The Grapevine can notify you with a text message when you have new messages waiting in your Grapevine voice mailbox.
If you have a cell phone and activate the Text Notify feature, you never have to wonder whether or not you have a new message in your voice mailbox. The Grapevine will text-message you when a new message arrives in your voice mailbox. That way you don’t have to keep checking the system to see if you got that response you’ve been expecting!!!
And don’t worry – you won’t get swamped with texts from us – we only send one text message for the first new message you get.
