Private Chat Rooms

Firstly, Pooosh offers a completely secure instant chat system that allows you to chat with only those people who you know, or that you can identify. In other words, anonymity in the chat rooms is not permitted. But best of all it's FREE!

Only you can invite another chatter to join your contact list and, if invited, the other chatter has a similar right to accept or decline your invitation. If you find that you do not wish to chat with someone any longer, you can simply delete him or her from your contacts list.

The chat room also allows you to conference - chat among 3 or more contacts at the same time, or even to undertake several conferences simultaneously.

In order to access the facility, select 'Chat Rooms' from the main Pooosh menu on your phone: A list of options will appear.

Clicking on the 'Chat' option allows you to enter and use the Chat Room of your choice. Clicking on the 'Edit' option allows you to block anyone, anytime.

The 'Create New' option lets you form your own Chat Room. To do this, select a name for your room that is at least five characters long and press 'Confirm'. All of your Pooosh contacts will then appear on screen. You can choose which of those contacts you want in your Chat Room. When you have selected those you wish to invite press 'Save'. These contacts will then see your Chat Room on their cell phones with the option to join.

The final option is the 'Delete' option. You may only delete Chat Rooms that you yourself have created.
