Gay & straight chat line with lots of free features.

MegaMates (1-888-MegaMates) runs both gay and straight lines and is known for offering more free features than most competitors — you can create a profile, listen to greetings and send messages without a timed trial. A strong free-feature set makes it a useful comparison entry.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • More free features than most
  • Both gay and straight lines
  • No strict trial clock
  • Nationwide coverage

Cons

  • Live chat still requires a package
  • Interface feels dated

Our verdict

MegaMates stands apart because its listed offer is not a timed trial but a set of free features: creating a profile, listening to greetings and sending messages are described as available without a trial clock, while live chat requires a package. It runs both gay and straight lines, and it is listed here in the Gay & Bi category. That structure suits callers who want to look around at length before paying, and frustrates those who want live conversation immediately. The listing also notes a dated interface. It is a third-party comparison line with its own pricing. Consider it the browse-first option in this category.

Best for

  • Callers who want to explore profiles and messages before paying anything
  • Men who prefer message exchange over immediate live connection
  • Anyone comparing a free-feature model against timed trials

What to expect on a first call

How to read this section: the flow below describes the typical pattern for lines of this type, based on the provider's published offer and how comparable services are documented — it is not a transcript of a call we placed. The prompts you actually hear may differ; the provider's own recording is always the final word.

A first call is expected to open with a welcome and an age confirmation, followed by a choice between the gay and straight lines if the number serves both. New callers are typically guided to create a profile and record a greeting. According to the listing, listening to greetings and sending messages are free features without a trial clock, so the menu should let you browse and message at your own pace. Requesting a live connection is where a package becomes necessary, and you should expect a purchase prompt at that point. MegaMates is an independent operator with a menu the listing describes as dated, so navigation may be less streamlined; the provider's prompts define every option, and this is only the expected pattern.

Free trial notes

The listing shows "Free to try" rather than a fixed minute count. Per the listed pros, you can create a profile, listen to greetings and send messages without a strict trial clock, while the listed con is that live chat still requires a package. In practice that means no countdown while browsing, but also no free live conversation. Do not assume any specific number of free minutes. As a third-party operator, MegaMates sets and may change these terms; the conditions announced in its own recorded prompt are final.

Privacy & safety notes

Because profiles and greetings persist for other callers to browse, treat everything you record as semi-public. Keep your greeting to a nickname, general area and interests, and leave out your number, employer and social handles. The provider's system hides your number from other callers. Message exchange can build familiarity quickly; move to a secondary number or app before sharing personal contact details. If you decide to buy a package for live chat, read the operator's own terms first, keep account credentials private and confirm the first charge on your statement.

How we assess this listing

How we assess listings: every chat line in this directory is evaluated from its published offer details (phone number, free-trial length, who chats free), accessibility (toll-free or local access, hours, how easy the first call is to start), category fit (whether the line actually serves the audience it advertises), transparency (how clearly pricing, trial limits and age rules are disclosed) and user experience signals (caller feedback, reported activity levels and how the line compares with others in its category). We recheck numbers and offers on a regular schedule, most recently on the date shown above. Providers can change offers at any time, so the trial and terms you hear in the provider's own phone prompt are always final. We do not accept payment for rankings, and we do not describe any call we have not documented.

Last reviewed: . Editorial disclosure: Chat Line Network operates its own family of chat lines (marked "Network Line") and lists well-known third-party lines for comparison. We never accept payment for rankings. Phone numbers, free-trial lengths and package prices are taken from each provider's published offer and re-checked periodically, but providers can change them at any time; the offer you hear on the recording when you call is always the final word. All lines are for adults 18+.
