Meeting Up

On ? with friends website you can develop online friends with people

you might never have met otherwise.

Once you have been emailing new friends for a while,

you may decide to meet each other in person.

It is sensible to take commonsense precautions with your arrangements.

Remember the more you know about the person before you meet,

the better time you are likely to have when you do meet.

  • Before telephoning someone consider the following:
  • If you are telephoning either a Mobile or a landline, the number
  • (i.e. your telephone number) will be registered and they could call you back.

    •

If you wish to avoid having your number traced,

simply enter 1831 from a fixed phone (*#31# from a Mobile)

And then dial the number you are calling.

If there is somebody who is behaving in a way that you consider inappropriate,

please contact us about this at:

admin@getwithfriends.com and we will look into the situation.
