56k Online

56k is chat the way it felt in 1998, built for today's phones. CHAT ROOMS Local rooms for your state, your city, and your neighborhood, plus Town Square, Arts & Entertainment, Life, Romance, Special Interests, and rooms members open themselves. Every 56k room has a friendly host who welcomes newcomers, keeps things civil, and answers when you talk to them. INSTANT MESSAGES Pick a friend, say hi, and watch "is typing" appear. Reply, react, edit, unsend, send a picture or a GIF, and pick up the conversation on any device. Away messages answer for you when you step out. FRIENDS LIST Add people by screen name (they say yes first), sort them into Friends, Family, and Co-Workers, and hear the door open when one signs on. Put a short status under your name, or ask to be told the moment a particular friend comes online. GROUP CHATS AND THE FEED Group IMs with your friends. A feed of posts, moods, and pictures from the people on your list, with reactions and comments. MAIL Member-to-member mail with pictures that load top to bottom the way they used to. Trash, search, signatures, and yes, the voice. YOUR PROFILE, YOUR WAY A picture, your favorite music, a quote, and a look you choose: six styles, backgrounds, fonts, and colors. AND THE LITTLE THINGS The dial-up sound at sign-on, every time. A greeting voice you pick. Desktop themes like Windows 95 Teal and Hot Dog Stand. Chat fonts. Saved chat logs. Keywords in the bar at the top. SAFE BY DESIGN 56k is for ages 13 and up. Every public room has a host and automatic screening, members can mute, block, and report anyone, and a staff team reviews reports. Rooms marked 18+ are only open to adults. No ads. No tracking.
