What's Different About Zogo?
Zogo is new and different. We connect our members with anonymous text and voice calls on their mobile phones.
Mobile
You can use Zogo from any PC or from any mobile phone that handles text messages. We let you speak to new people right away, wherever you are.
Anonymous
Zogo never reveals your phone number to other members. You can have voice calls and text chats without giving out your number, just your nickname.
Voice
Zogo lets you talk to new people right away. Why spend weeks or months exchanging email? The chemistry is in the voice. Don’t type, talk!
What do I get for registering?
Why should I give you all that information?
Once you've registered, you can tell us in much greater detail about the kind of person you're looking to meet. We also remember our member's search preferences, so you can quickly check back to see who's new.
Your preferences help others find you, so the more information you can provide, the better the results you'll get.
And?
Every time you log in as a member, we'll show you a whole new list of members using your saved preferences.
How do I cancel my membership?
If you want to end your membership, just complete the Contact Us form and say so. Please tell us why you are cancelling so we can make the service better.
You can also text STOP, END, QUIT, CANCEL, or UNSUBSCRIBE to 46876 (INTRO) and we'll terminate your membership immediately.
What does it cost to use Zogo, when do I pay, and who pays?
We don't charge anything to join Zogo, or to locate members you wish to meet. That's right — ZERO, Nada, Zilch!
What do I need to Use Zogo?
Any Phone, Web-phone or PC Browser
You can use Zogo from any mobile phone that can send and receive text messages. To see photos of other Zogo members, you need a PC or mobile browser, but you can do almost everything in Zogo by sending and receiving text messages.
Easy Signup
Starting your Zogo membership is easy. Fill out our one-page form or send us a text message from you phone.
When you join Zogo, we text your numeric password (PIN) to your phone. You need this PIN and your phone number to log in to our web site, but you can start using Zogo with text messages right away.
Can I sign up on my regular telephone?
No. We don't even remember what regular telephones look like.
I forgot my password. What do I do?
Click on the "I Forgot My Password" link on the Login page, enter your cell phone number, and your password will be texted to your cell phone.
Can I change my password?
Sure. Just go to the "Edit My Profile" page and click on the "Change Your Password" button.

Enroll on Web
Click here to go to our one-page signup screen. It’s easy!
Enroll by Text Message
To enroll in Zogo from your mobile phone, just text us a message to our text phone number, 46876 (INTRO). Your message should contain the word JOIN, the nickname you choose, your ZIP code and an M or an F to tell us your gender.
For example:
JOIN MyNickname F 10025
The word ENROLL is synonymous with JOIN, and will work just as well.
How do I Find Matches??
Setting Your Preferences
Zogo lets you search for matches based on your preferences and location that you set up at staging.zogo.com. You can search on gender, religion, ethnicity and other features, and you can limit your search to a particular vicinity. Your preferences will be remembered, and if you search from your phone, your most recent choices will be used.
Favorites
When you find someone who interests you, you can invite them right away. You can also add them to your list of favorites to refer back to later. You can send us a text message to have your favorites texted back to you while you’re out and about.
What Happens When I Invite Someone?
Sending the Invitation
You can send an invitation by clicking the Invite button beneath a member’s profile, or you can send us a text message with the words INVITE NICKNAME to 46876 (INTRO). Either way the same thing happens.
Receiving the Invitation
The member you invited will receive a text message containing your nickname and a link to your web profile. If they provided their email address, we also send your invitation and photograph in an email.
A link to your profile is placed on the member’s Zogo home page, so if they browse from their PC or phone, that’s another way they can see you.
Expiration
Invitations stay active for 24 hour. If you don’t hear back within that time, you can try again. You can invite as many members as you like.
How do I Accept an Invitation?
Responding by Text Message
When you get a text message like “Zogo member Hottie has invited you to speak”, you can accept by replying to the text message from Zogo. Reply to our text phone number, 46876 (INTRO) with the word ACCEPT if you wish to speak with the member.
If you have more than one active invitation, this will accept the most recent one. You can give the name of the member you are accepting if there is more than one.
Responding from your Browser
From your PC or phone browser click the Accept Invitation link below the member’s profile.
Declining or Blocking Members
If now is not a good time to speak, send DECLINE to the member who invited you. They will be told that they should try again later.
If you don’t want to get any more invitations from someone, reply to their invitation with BLOCK. They won’t be able to invite you again. No immediate notification is sent.
Speaking to Zogo Members
When a member accepts your invitation to speak, Zogo calls your cell phone. Your caller ID will show (212) 330-7609. That’s the Zogo voice number, you should add it to your phonebook so you know it’s us calling.
You will hear a brief message telling you that Zogo is connecting your call to the member you invited.
Press “1” to connect the call. Zogo will call the other member and you will hear their phone ring. When they answer, it’s up to you!
The other member gets a call from our phone number, not yours, so that both your numbers are kept secret.
Using Zogo with Text Messages
Most Zogo features work by sending text messages. All messages should be sent to our text number, 46876 (INTRO).
Inviting a Member to Speak
Text the work INVITE and the nickname of the member you want to speak with. For example, text INVITE HOTTIE to 46876.
Accepting an Invitation
When you receive an invitation from a Zogo member you can reply to the text message or just send a new text message to us at 46876. Just send the word ACCEPT.
Remember that invitations stay active for 24 hours, so don’t wait too long! Also, if you have more than one active invitation, include the nickname so we know which member you want to speak with: ACCEPT HOTTIE.
Getting Help
Text HELP to 46876 for a reminder of the text commands.
Text TEACHME to 46876 if you would like someone from Zogo to call you to answer your questions one-on-one. A Zogo representative will call within 24 hours.
Texting other Members
To send an anonymous text message to another member, compose the message and send it to us at 46876. Make the first word of your message the other member’s nickname so we know where to send it.
To reply to another member’s text message, make the first word of your reply be their nickname. Remember, your reply is going to Zogo, not directly to the member, to keep your phone number secret. So you have to tell us who you’re texting to.
Joining Zogo
To join Zogo, just text four words to us at 46876 (INTRO);
ENROLL NICKNAME M_or_F ZIP
For example, you could text this message:
ENROLL HOTTIE F 10003
That’s all it takes to become a member. We will text back the numeric PIN (password) that you use to log on to staging.zogo.com.. Once you have joined you should go to our Web site and complete your profile so other members know more about you. While you’re there, upload a photograph – you’ll get lots more invitations, we promise.

What is Prowling?
What is prowling? How do I know who's prowling?
Prowling lets other members know you're out and about and ready to talk and, possibly, hook up. A star on a member's profile lets others know that the member is out on the prowl. Members on the prowl get listed first in Zogo matches. Prowlers are good to go, on the move, and looking to hook up with old and new friends now.
When can I start prowling? How do I stop?
The moment you click on the "Start Prowling" button, you're on the prowl. Click on "Stop Prowling" to turn off your prowling indicator, otherwise you will automatically be shown as on the prowl for 8 hours.
