Flirtomatic is basically a great new way to do more flirty stuff. You can use your mobile phone or the web - or both. Either way, Flirtomatic makes it quick and easy to see who's out there, send and receive flirty messages, and chat live.

Anybody over the age of 18 can be on Flirtomatic.

If you're under 18, were sorry. Hang in there and come back when were ready for you.

On the other hand, if you thought you were washed up and shagged out, heres the good news: theres no upper age limit for Flirtomatic.

Flirtomatic 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 top

In 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 operators age verification system. If you need help with this, please contact Flirt Centraland they'll give you further instructions...

Back to top

If you see a gold star on a users 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 users your contact details then youll need to become age verified.

Back to top

Select the button saying Age Verify me on the right hand side of the front page, as you log in. Youll 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 - youll 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 drivers license.

Yes, of course!

Flirtomatic Web is great for when youre at the office, or at home, and dont want to use your mobile phone. No operator charges will apply, of course.

When youre 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 youve 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!

A backstage pass is an invitation to a flirt to view your private photos and videos. We've given you the option of adding photos 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 gallery in your profile to set them as private before they're added into your public gallery.

Back to top

Well, 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 youre sending an MMS from your mobile and its the first time weve encountered your mobile number, we will ask you to confirm some details. So, once weve received your photo, well 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 well be able to allocate it to your account.

If youre 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 top

The 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 phones 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...

No. Unless you want to stay connected to Flirtomatic 24/7 - you'll need a mobile phone to connect to Flirtomatic Mobile ;)

Network 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 top

Sort 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.
