Anybody over the age of 18 can be on Flirtomatic.
If you're under 18, we're sorry. Hang in there and come back when we're ready for you.
On the other hand, if you thought you were washed up and shagged out, here's the good news: there's no upper age limit for Flirtomatic.
Back To TopFlirtomatic is not what you call an 'adult content' portal, but we want to make sure that when you use this you don't find yourself talking to a fourteen year old messing about.
Back To TopIn a way, yes you do.
We make it clear that Flirtomatic is for over 18s only. The service is not like a nightclub so we cannot be at the door asking for ID. We can only trust you are telling the truth. However, we are very strict with anyone we suspect is underage.
If you decide that you want to start swapping contact details with another flirt, you will both have to be age verified. We do this through the mobile network operator's age verification system. If you need help with this, please contact Flirt Central and they'll give you further instructions...
Back To TopIf you see a gold star on a user's profile, this means that they have been age verified.
Flirtomatic moderates messages to make sure that certain information is blocked. For example, you may find that when someone who is not age verified tries to send you their contact details, they appear as asterisks. This is our way of protecting you.
If you wish to send user's your contact details then you'll need to
become age verified.
Select the button saying 'Age Verify me' on the right hand side of the front page, as you log in. You'll also find the button in your profile pages under 'My Stuff'.
You'll get a pop up box with some information telling you what to do - you'll need to text a word using your mobile phone.
Now you'll receive one of two messages:
1) If you are already age verified with your network operator, we will
send you a message informing you that you have been accepted as age
verified.
2) If you are not already age verified with your network operator, you
will need to contact them directly. You can see the numbers for the
network operators further down this page.
If you have to register in-store for any of the operators, you need to present proof of your age (obviously). This can be your passport or driver's license.
Back To TopYes, of course!
Flirtomatic Web is great for when you're at the office, or at home, and don't want to use your mobile phone. No operator charges will apply, of course.
When you're on the move, Flirtomatic Mobile is always there for chatting, checking your flirts, and basically staying 100 percent Flirtomatic.
You use the same login details for both. If you've started off on the web, follow the mobile links to find out what to do next. If you started off on mobile, enter your login details into the login box and get flirting!
Back To TopWant to flirt and flirt now? We have made it just too easy for you.
All you have to do is tell us a couple of things about you and we'll do the rest. We will generate a profile for you so that you can 'get in there' and start flirting instantly. And we've made it ABSOLUTELY FREE on the web, so you can just get down to it without any other worries...
Don't worry. You are not stuck with the profile we give you; you can change your flirty details straight away. In fact, we suggest you do.
Upload your picture to finish your profile (go to 'My Stuff'). We really recommend you do this. It has been proven that you are 10 times more likely to be flirted with you have got a photo up than if you leave it empty.
Back To TopFor people new to Flirtomatic:
(this costs the price of a normal text message). You should receive a text message from us, which will contain a link that will take you to the Flirtomatic WAP registration page (make sure you have your WAP settings set up correctly - if you're unsure, check with your mobile operator).
Answer the few basic questions and you're in! Flirtomatic will have generated a profile for you, so that you can get flirting instantly.
Make sure you bookmark the Main Menu page so that you get back to it easily the next time you want to log in ('bookmark this page' is an option in your options menu).
Your account name will be your mobile number and we'll send you your password in a separate SMS. Don't forget to change your profile in My Settings - make it yours. Add a photo by sending an MMS of your face to photos@flirtomatic.com.
For people that already have a Flirtomatic profile (from the web):
Go to wap.flirtomatic.com (or tc1.flirtomatic.com/flirto/wap if you are blocked on the other URL) in your WAP browser. Enter your web login details in the space provided and get flirting! You'll find all your conversations, so you can just get going as usual. Don't forget to bookmark the page so that you'll know where to go the next time.
Back To TopA backstage pass is an invitation to a flirt to view your private photos and videos. We've given you the option of adding photos or videos that you might want to keep private from the multitudes, but that you'd like to share with your VIP friends. You'll need to go into your photo/video gallery in your profile to set them as private before they're added into your public gallery.
Back To TopWell, you have 2 options. You can either use the 'add a photo' button and follow the commands (found in your profile), or you can send us a photo by email or MMS. Send the photo to photos@flirtomatic.com.
If you're sending an MMS from your mobile and it's the first time we've encountered your mobile number, we will ask you to confirm some details. So, once we've received your photo, we'll send you an SMS asking you to reply to our SMS with your account name and password. Send only these details, separated with a space and we'll be able to allocate it to your account.
If you're sending from email, please make sure you use the email address that you used to sign up to Flirtomatic (otherwise it will get lost).
Back To TopThe best thing to do is call your network operator and ask them to send you the settings for MMS.
Once you have the settings set up and saved, take a picture with your phone's camera and select the option to send by MMS (or multimedia). In the 'To' field, type the email address photos@flirtomatic.com and send. Your phone will connect (briefly) to the internet and will send us the photo. It will take approximately 24 hours for us to check the photo and make sure the photo is suitable for display...
Back To TopNo. Unless you want to stay connected to Flirtomatic 24/7 - you'll need a mobile phone to connect to Flirtomatic Mobile ;)
Back To TopNo. Flirtomatic keeps all your details safe for you. You may give out your number and any other personal information if you choose (only if you have age verified), but other Flirts will not be able to see it automatically under any circumstances. Please see our safety guidelines before you give out any personal details.
Back To TopFlirtomatic is ABSOLUTELY FREE to use on both web and mobile (data charges may apply for mobile users). This includes all the chat you can manage, searching for matches, looking at photos, rating people and lots more.
If you would like to buy any extras on Flirtomatic, you do this with Flirt Points. Flirt Points are the Flirtomatic currency and you use them to buy virtual gifts, to see 'Who's rated me' and to 'Delete my freak'.
Flirt Points are bought in bundles -
* £1.50 buys you 200 Flirt Points
* £3.00 buys you 500 Flirt Points
* £5.00 buys you 1,000 Flirt Points
You can make a payment by charging it to your mobile phone bill or by
credit or debit card.
Click here for details of how you can top up from the web and mobile.
When you decide to buy Flirt Points by paying on your mobile phone bill, we will attempt to receive payment. If your order is accepted, we will send you a reverse charge text, which will automatically charge you for the points. You won't be able to cancel once we start to action your request.
If you decide to pay by credit or debit card, the name will come up as Handmade Mobile Entertainment Ltd.
If the payment that has been made by mobile bill, credit or debit card is rejected for some reason and you have already spent Flirt Points, you will find yourself in a negative points balance. You will need to make a payment that is accepted by our payment providers in order to spend points once again.
Back To TopFlirt Points are the Flirtomatic currency. You can use them to:
* Send other flirts virtual gifts (like a single red rose or a sensual
massage)
* See 'Who's rated me'
* 'Delete my freak'
We'll be adding more extras from time to time to spice up your flirting experience!
Back To TopIf you're on the web and decide to make a payment, you'll have the option of paying using your credit card or on your mobile phone bill.
Paying by credit card - enter all your details in the fields provided. You will see the result of your payment in the tab called 'My Flirt Points' in 'My Stuff'. If you give us the wrong information or you have no money in your account, it will not go through and you'll have to try another method of payment.
Paying by mobile phone - if we have no record of your mobile phone number, we will ask you to send us a text message. Please make sure that you copy the word exactly - do not add your own spaces! - and we'll send you a message confirming that the amount has been taken off your mobile phone bill.

Back To TopNetwork charges are the data charges that your mobile operator may or may not be charging you for using WAP.
On the 3 network, Flirtomatic is FREE to browse.
The remaining networks will charge you for data. You need to check with them to see how much you will be charged. Speak to them to see whether you can get an unlimited data package.
Back To TopYou are registered until you decide to cancel. Let us know by email and we'll remove you from the system. If you're signed up to a mobile contract (for a week or month), your registration will last as long as that contract is valid.
Back To TopFlirtomatic will know your mobile number or your email address (however you signed up) or your credit card or debit card details (if you have chosen to pay by credit or debit card).
We keep these details nice and safe and do not pass them on to anyone else.
Back To TopSort of. We do filter some information for everyone's safety, and we keep a discreet eye on what you are up to - just to see that it's all good clean(ish) fun.
That means that we check photos before they are published. We also check content from time to time, especially if we get complaints about abusive behaviour. Flirtomatic reserves the right to define what is antisocial behaviour on the service at any time, and to act accordingly to keep everything friendly and safe.
Back To TopContact our customer service team, who are always on hand to help you with any aspect of the Flirtomatic service. You can email them, or call 0845 270 6700.
You can report abuse about a person within the service. You'll need to block them first and then click on the 'report abuse' link. Make sure you're reporting abuse about the right person and give us all the gory details of what they've been up to.
To ensure you Flirt safely and conscientiously, please take a look at our guidelines.
Back To TopIn certain situations, users may be issued with a formal warning from Flirtomatic. Further details can be found in our terms and conditions.
If a user continues to abuse Flirtomatic after a formal warning, they will be barred permanently.
Back To TopIt depends. If you are barred because you are underage, you will be allowed back when you turn 18.
If you are barred for being abusive, you will not. Flirtomatic is a friendly, fun service, and we expect our users to behave in a friendly and fun manner. Flirtomatic's decision is final in all cases, and is not connected with your mobile phone operator or network in any way.
Back To TopIf you decide to block another Flirtomatic user, they will be notified of your decision and given one last chance to plead forgiveness. You can then choose to block them or not - it's totally your call. If another user wants to block you, of course, you'll always get the chance to say sorry too.
Any blocked users will then be unable to communicate with you in any way, and you will not be able to contact them either.
You may unblock users at any time, if you change your mind and decide you'd like to revert to sending and receiving Flirts with them.
Back To TopYou don't need to cancel Flirtomatic. You can come and go as you wish and your account will always be there (unless you come back after an obscene length of time and we've done some spring cleaning of our databases).
If you really don't want your profile hanging around, email us and we'll get rid
of it for you.
Flirt Mobile is compatible with (in no particular order):
* Vodafone
* O2
* Orange
* T-Mobile
* 3
* Virgin
We know that we are not compatible with the Fresh network and possibly others that do not allow WAP / 3G access.
Back To TopMost current phones will access Flirtomatic easily. If your phone has a colour screen and a WAP browser, then we're pretty sure you can slip off into the world of flirty fun, no trouble.
But then again, Flirtomatic likes to be straight with you about these matters: the fact is, there are so many new phones coming out all the time that we just can't offer you a total guarantee of compatibility with all of them. Occasionally network restrictions might apply as well.
What we can promise, though, is that if your phone has any problems displaying Flirtomatic, please please please send us the details in an email and we'll gladly try to sort it out.
Back To TopThe first thing to check is that you are set up to use data services. This sometimes needs to be switched on by your network operator - please call the customer service number for your network listed below.
You should be using a GPRS or 3G connection to access Flirtomatic Mobile. Again, it's basically a matter of making sure that you have the correct settings for your handset and your network.
On the Fresh network? Customers from the Fresh network cannot use Flirtomatic at the moment. This is because the Fresh network does not offer GPRS connectivity. We have been told that they plan to upgrade their network in the future, but obviously that's all a bit out of our hands.
Back To TopYes! Assuming you mean technical problems, we have a support centre set up for you on 0845 270 6700. The support centre is open during office hours. At all other times, we take messages and get back to you as quickly as we can.
For other problems, such as 'I don't know if I'm ready for a relationship right now' and stuff like that, you can call us if you really want but there's probably nothing we can do. Sorry.
