CallMe by M3XI
CallMe is for meeting people by talking to them. Press the letter three times and you are in a voice call with someone who is online now. No swiping through photographs, no chat that dies after two messages, and cameras only if you both ask.
On Android now. The iPhone app is with Apple for review.
On Android and iPhone, and free to download.
How it works
No profile to write, no opening line to agonise over. Set yourself up once, then let CallMe find someone.
Go on, say hello.
Finding someone who is online now…
New in CallMe 0.10
A small cartoon dog now lives in CallMe, drawn from our founder’s own. It shows you round on your first day, keeps you up to date with your friends, and it is always ready for a walk.
Your first day
It walks you through calling, your card and poster, friends, the map and walks. Take the tour again any time from Settings.
Tap it
Hear who is at a table, who has posted a snapshot and who is off to an event. Only friends, and only those who choose to share.
Hold, then let go
Hold the dog still until it points, then let go, and the map of your friends opens.
Press and shake
Keep a finger on the dog and give your phone a shake to set off. Do the same again to stop.
Rather not have a dog about? You can hide it in Settings, under Your dog.
Also new
What arrived with the dog, and a few things that got easier.
Press the dog and shake your phone to set off. You see the distance, your pace, the time and about how many calories, with personal bests to beat.
Your location is used only while CallMe is open.
A photo for your friends, with a few words on it, that lasts 24 hours.
Every snapshot is checked before your friends see it.
Off until you turn it on. Then only the friends you tick can see you, by town or precisely, and it switches itself off after 24 hours.
It updates only while CallMe is open.
What’s on, in the app and here on the site. When you arrive, scan the QR code at the venue to check in.
Drag, pinch to size and twist to turn. Pins, clips and tape hold things up, and if you pull a pin out, the piece falls. New stickers and modules too.
Take a photo or choose one, then crop it: pinch, drag and rotate, and pick Original, Square or 4:5.
Inside the app
Straight from the latest CallMe, just as it looks on the phone.
Five free calls every day. Calling, friends, tables and the dog all work without paying, and CallMe Premium is there in the app if you want more.
On a computer? Scan this with an Android phone to open CallMe on Google Play.
Make your own
A MeCard is what people see when they meet you on CallMe. A poster is what friends see when they open you, and people you’ve met too if you let them. Both are yours to make, and a card you design can be given to the people you talk to.
In the app
Go to Settings, then My poster. Choose a paper, then pin, tape and twist your photos and words into place. It is drawn on your phone, so you see it exactly as your visitors will.
In the app
From your poster, choose Edit my cards. Pick a paper, add a photo, stickers and your words, and the cards people see when you match are yours.
On a computer
Bring a picture you made yourself, or build one from the papers and stickers, and sign in with your phone. A person reads every design. Then it lands in your collection, and you can give up to twenty copies to people you have met on a call.
The creator studio comes with CallMe Premium, in the app.
Questions
A few to start with. The rest are on the questions page, and if yours is not there, email support@m3xi.com and a person will answer.
CallMe is for meeting people by talking to them. Press the letter three times and you are in a voice call with someone who is online now, instead of swiping through profiles and waiting for replies.
It is a place to meet people and have a conversation. Dating is welcome if that is where it goes, but it is not the point.
No. Every one-to-one call starts as voice. Cameras come on only when both of you have asked. One person can never switch on the other person’s camera, and you can turn yours off at any time without ending the call. Tables have their own camera rule, set by the host.
Adults aged 18 and over. Everyone verifies their age before they can call anyone, with an identity document, a live selfie and a face match. The check is carried out by our verification provider, and we receive the result rather than your documents.
There is one setting: My country or International. It goes by the flag you pick on your profile, not by where your phone is. Beyond being 18 or over, nobody is filtered by age, gender or distance. Anyone you block is not matched with you again while the block stands.
Only while CallMe is open, and only for things you start. A walk uses your location to measure the distance. Sharing your place on the friends map is off until you turn it on; then only the friends you tick can see you, by town or precisely, and it switches itself off 24 hours later. CallMe never asks for your location in the background.
CallMe is free to use, with five calls a day. You can earn more by watching an advert or by completing weekly achievements. CallMe Premium removes the daily limit and gives you a head start in matching, tables for up to twenty people and the creator studio. Premium and call credits are optional, and you’ll find them, with the price where you live, inside the app.
