Frequently asked questions
If I subscribe, will non-subscribers be able to respond to my messages?
Yes.
Unlike some other subscription-based sites (including Match.com), we do not require that both parties to a conversation have a subscription. At the Atlasphere, for two members to carry on a conversation, only one of them needs a subscription.
