How it works

How does it work?

Call the line and leave your question with the operator. We'll find a thoughtful stranger to answer it, then send their voice reply back to you.

Will I speak to someone live?

Usually not. You leave your question as a voice message and receive an answer later. Occasionally, we may offer to connect you live if the right person is available.

How long will it take to get an answer?

We'll text you as soon as someone responds. Most questions are answered within a few hours.

Is it anonymous?

Yes. The person answering won't see your phone number. You choose how much about yourself to share.

What gets shared?

Your first name and what you're asking about, so people can find your question and answer it. The recording itself never leaves the line, and it's deleted within 30 days.

Does it cost anything?

Calling in and receiving an answer is free.
