Congratulations to the HintCafe team!  Today the company announced they are now offering a secure calling service, powered by Twilio, that allows those seeking love on HintCafe to call each other without revealling their personal phone numbers.

How It Works

1. Sign up for HintCafe, and set up your profile:

Hintcafe_profile

2.  Validate your phone number

3.  Fund your HintCafe talk time with minutes

4.  Search for potential love matches (the fun part!) and find someone…

6.  Reply to the message with another eVoice message, or schedule a secure call:

Hintcafe_reply

7.  Live happily ever after

Update:
  I just noticed that there is a note at the top of the website that says, “Hooray, we are growing! We will be moving to a bigger server tonight at 1 AM PST”.  The online dating service has only been live for a month or so, and there isn’t much data on Compete yet, but it sounds like things are going well for HintCafe and we are looking forward to following along as they continue to grow.
