New Social Network Allows You to Make Friends, via the Phone!

 

Want to make new friends from different parts of the world, and connect with old friends you haven't seen in awhile?

 

Well, there a new social network that allows you to do just that!

 

TalkOClock allows you to communicate with people from all over the world, seek friends and keep in touch with old friends and classmates via telephone, for free!

 

Yes, the cost to use their service is free! (There is however, a cost to receive an incoming call, according to your local phone plan).

 

The telephone gives you, the Talk O'Clock user, the added dimension of emotion to your conversation, so that you can hear the connecting party's emotion, versus having to imagine it.

 

(TalkOClock also works with Facebook).

 

So you can hear the elation in an old friend's voice after having linked him/her after many years of separation, or get the chance to strike up a conversation with someone in whose language you've been dying to learn or perfect!

 

Using TalkOClock is easy:

 

How it works is that everyone is connected through the TalkOClock platform.

 

So each person in the 125 counties connected to the TalkOClock platform is given a TalkOClock number, thus preventing your real telephone number from being seen by the person you're connecting with. 

 

All services on the TalkOClock platform ensure your complete privacy this way...

 

...and if someone you wish to connect with is rude, just report them to Talk O'Clock Customer Service and they'll take steps to kick the person off the service.

 

One of the services that I find to be really useful is called International Greetings.

 

All you have to do to use this service is to login to your TalkOClock account and inform other  users of the service  that you have something to celebrate (e.g. a birthday)  and then specify the ideal time for the conversation. 

 

When the moment comes, greetings will come in from the persons you specify. 

 

So you'll get to hear Happy Birthday greetings in any number of languages you want, from as many people as you want... your choice is limitless!

 

According to TalkOClock, Inc. founder and General Director, Alex Kistenev:

 

“The main advantage of the service is that users are able to communicate with people from all over the world, to find new interesting people and to continue dialogue. A live relationship is filled with emotions which cannot be transferred via typed words.”

 

Apart from International Greetings, TalkOClock  offers other "social services":

 

They have reminders and an alarm clock wherein which you can request that other users call and remind you about anything...the bravest ones can even give you a wake-up-call with an energizing talk alarm!

 

So why not try TalkOClock today?

 

I'm sure you'll enjoy reconnecting with friends and also connecting with people from different countries...who speak your language and others.

 

Who knows? Maybe you'll get to develop some life long friendships and learn a second language in the process!

 

(TalkOClock was created in the mid-July 2011).
