What are the differences between the Voice Personals Mailbox and the Live Connector?
Your Voice Personals Mailbox is like having your own personal answering service on Lavender Line. It’s where you record your ad for other members to hear, 24 hours a day!
You can receive messages from interested women, even when you’re not online, and listen to them any time you want!
Hear someone you like? You can leave them a message too, or request a private, one-on-one conversation in the Live Connector. In the Connector, you can record a greeting describing yourself and the kind of women you want to meet. Unlike a Voice Personals Mailbox, your Connector greeting only plays to women when you are live on Lavender Line.
-
Why use the voicemail system?
Your voice personals mailbox works like your home answering machine or service.
-
Before I buy a membership, can I try your service for free?
Yes. Every new caller can try our service for free. Just call 1-800-607-0526 to get your local calling number, and when you dial into the system our voice prompts will lead you through setting up your free trial membership. However, new free trial accounts will not be issued to a phone number that has previously been given one.
-
Can I get another free trial membership?
Free trial memberships are a special introductory offer to first-time users only, but when you sign up for a regular membership we’ll be happy to sell you your first package for half-price. This allows you to continue using the same account and voice personals mailbox you set up for your free trial. Call our friendly 24-hour toll-free Customer Service at 1-800-607-0526 to find out more about this great deal.
-
I'm calling from a local phone number and I can't use my free trial. Why not?
Your free trial may not work if:
- Someone has already used a free trial from this number before.
- The system cannot read your phone number on call display. You can try to dial *82 to display your phone number.
- There is no time left in the membership.
- It has been more than 7 days since your free trial was issued.
-
I'm calling your 1-800 number, and I can't use my free trial. Why not?
You should call your local access number. In the unlikely event that we do not provide local service to your area, call our friendly, 24-hour, toll-free Customer Service at 1-800-607-0526 and they’ll help you get connected.
-
Can I get a free trial from any phone?
Yes, as long as that phone number has never had a free trial membership issued to it before.
-
Can I use my free trial from any phone?
NO, you can ONLY use your free trial account from the phone it was issued from. However, new free trial accounts will not be issued to a phone number that has previously been issued one.
-
I'm calling Long Distance, and I can't use my free trial. Why not?
You must be calling from the phone number used to set up the trial, or it may be that someone has used a free trial from this phone number before.
-
How do I record my ad?
Once you have dialed into the system, our prompts will guide you through the simple process of setting up your voice personals mailbox and recording your ad. Remember to speak clearly and directly into the phone.
-
What do I do if I receive a message that I find really interesting?
Send them a message back! You can do this back-and-forth as many times as you like until you decide you are ready to take it further, whether by arranging a meeting or by giving out your name or phone number. Lavender Line’s best feature is that you decide when you’re ready to proceed. We keep your personal information private at all times.
-
What is the difference between a "message" and a "connection request?"
Messages are exchanged between callers using the voice personals mailbox system, and between callers on the live Connector. They can be used for introductions or to get to know someone else better. You can exchange messages many times. You can also leave them for callers on the Connector or in callers’ voice personals mailbox. A connection request is a special type of message inviting a caller to join you in a private live conversation on the Connector.
-
Why should I create a voice personals mailbox?
Voice personals mailboxes are the heart of Lavender Line, and your most powerful tool for connecting with like-minded girls. The ad you record for your voice personals mailbox is your 24-hour a day presence on the Lavender Line system, and should contain as many details about you and who you are looking for as you can imagine. Additionally, placing your ad in a category guarantees that the right women, those looking for the same kind of experience as you are, will hear your ad. Of course, having recorded an ad you’ll need a way for interested women to get back to you, and your voice personals mailbox is where their responses will go. If you do not wish to run an ad, you can designate your box as being “For Responses Only”. This way, when you reply to an ad you like, that woman will have a place to send a message back to you.
-
What do I do if I receive a message from a caller that I'm not interested in?
In the Lavender Line voice mailbox system you can simply delete the message and move on. The woman that left the message may send you another message, but that’s all they can do. There is no way for them to get in touch with you outside of Lavender Line, as all of your personal information is kept confidential. While in the Connector, if you get an unwelcome message, or just don’t like what you hear while you are browsing, you can block the caller from sending you messages by pressing 7, when the system prompts you.
-
What is not acceptable in a greeting?
We want everyone to have an enjoyable experience using our system. We will not tolerate any discrimination based on age, gender or race and we will not allow any references to illegal substances.
-
What should I say in my ad?
Remember this is your introduction to everyone online, so take some time before you record to write out what you want to say about yourself, and about the type of girl you’re looking for. Be specific, and sell yourself! Standing out from the crowd will help you get noticed! It’s also a good idea to practice reading your ad aloud a few times, so that you sound more confident when you record. And no one wants to hear dead air or music.
-
Can I use a paid membership from any phone?
Yes, a paid membership may be used from any touch tone phone.
-
What do I do if I forget or lose my membership number or passcode?
Your membership number gives you access to Lavender Line, and your pass code is like your bank PIN number. To protect yourself and your mailbox from fraudulent use, call our friendly, 24-hour Customer Service at 1-800-607-0526 if you lose your numbers. For your security, you will be asked to verify your personal information. Remember your membership number is different from your mailbox number. Call Customer Service if you have any other questions about memberships, numbers, or voice personals mailboxes.
-
When is time deducted from my membership?
The system will inform you when time is being deducted from your membership. In the voice personals mailbox system it is free to listen to ads, and time is deducted from your membership when you reply to ads or listen to the responses in your voice personals mailbox. In the Live Connector, time is deducted from your membership once you have recorded your greeting and are listening to other greetings of ladies using the Connector. Time is deducted from your membership on a per-minute basis. Memberships that are unused for a period of 30 days will be charged a 10-minute maintenance fee. Additionally, memberships that remain unused for a period of 3 months will be deactivated without refund.
-
How long does it take to set up a membership?
It usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes to set up a new membership. We will need your name, address and method of payment.
-
What should I do if someone asks for my membership number online?
You should never share your membership number or pass code with anyone on line, especially if they claim to be an employee or part of a promotion! Customer service will only ask you to quote your numbers if you have called us with a problem or question. Remember that your membership number and pass code is what keeps track of your balance, so you never want to give this information out to anyone.
-
Will the system warn me when my membership is about to run out of time?
The system will inform you of your membership balance when you log on. You will be given the option to purchase more time when your balance is less than 20 minutes. The system will also warn you when your membership balance reaches two minutes.
