## What is ChatThere App?

ChatThere is a community of people answering questions at universities, organizations, and local businesses around the world.

In ChatThere, you send a text message to a "place" (such as a university, a city, or a country); someone there replies (such as a student, an employee, or a resident); and you can have a one-on-one text chat with them.  You can also switch to voice chat, if you both wish.

ChatThere is for both helpful and curious people and where interesting conversation is almost guaranteed!

All messages and calls are within ChatThere are free, and don't use your SMS or your phone service.

Note:  

•  ChatThere connects people by location, and so only works if you allow it access to your location.  It only uses it on significant change and so doesn't drain your battery.

•  You should also allow ChatThere to send you notifications in order to receive messages and replies (there's a Do Not Disturb button in the app for whenever you are unavailable).

To quickly experience ChatThere, send a message to 0 in the app and our support folks will reply.


FOR BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS:

•  You can have designated staff provide text/voice support to your customers and community by getting your own number on ChatThere.
