Pros: Free. Basically works well. Controlled access eliminates many "nuisance" users. Cons: While basic interactive (voice!) Help is great, anything deeper gets minimal response.
I try about every (free) voice program available, and for last 2 years have chosen PalTalk as my clear preference.
It has a LOT of shortcomings, but overall is still the best/easiest way to communicate with friends, or strangers - by voice, with...

Pros: Talk to people all over the world ... free! Cons: Sound does not always come through clearly
I'm learning Danish, and as I live in the state of Louisiana, it's hard to find anyone to talk to in Danish. If found some on Paltalk. Talking to friends faraway does not have to be an expensive affair. It can also be done either en masse or...

Pros: large membership
fairly good sound
File transfer and video Cons: VERY annoying pop-up ads
Unfair rule enforcement
Lots of lag at times
almost constant updates
I have been on Paltalk for about a year. I think Paltalk has gone down hill lately. Paltalk admins each seem to have their own versions of their server rules. In the Social Issues catagory, they allow blatant violations of the rules by some groups and...

Pros: PC Tech rooms great help, I like trivia quiz rooms. Easy to use Cons: Social issue rooms go over the top. Too much Hate

Pros: Paltalk makes $ with chat (MSFT couldn't, they have standards) Cons: Nasty software update requirement without warning
When an update required, they don't even give 8 hours warning!
There is no link on their index page to find the update.
I give 110% credit to people with good intentions, (actually, even more). There are a LOT of problems with the software,...

Good concept
by kennygraham ,Dec 29 '04
Pros: Good idea, friendly people. Cons: Deceptive advertising, and both the website and the program are a mess.
It's a great concept, but they need to get their act together. I downloaded and subscribed to a year of PalTalk plus primarily because their website claimed they worked with AIM, Yahoo, etc., and provided screenshots showing this ability. When I couldn't figure out how to use this feature, I was told that it was not yet available. Also, every time I want to create a new chat room, I have to change my default web browser to Internet Explorer, then change it back after the room is created, which becomes tiresome after a short while. My advice: Download the free version, and try ALL of its features for atleast a month before subscribing.

To costly for to few!
by furieqc ,Jun 20 '04
Pros: Very good program without any doubt! Cons: To little for to much $$$$$
You want my opinion! I think it is to costly for to few! That is why I did not subscribe! I did once, when it was possible to have three nicknames for the same subscription price but when they highered their price and reduced the subscription to one nickname only, I saw that (like many successfull ventures) they started to abuse people who loved the program for $$$$$ only. So, now, I remain a free member with limited access but then I don't feel that I'm being robbed.

Paltalk For Everyone
by ian666 ,Oct 30 '04
Pros: Meeting people all over the World. Cons: i dont like the adult pop-ups, especially in a G room
Paltalk is the most influentual communications program i have ever had the pleasure to use, from day 1 when i found it, i have been greeted with smiles & laughter in the rooms, such as the Demo room, this program did exactly what i thought it would do, it introduced me to the whole world of great people & i love that, meeting people from all walks of life & making friends that i wouldnt dream possible. To me, Paltalk has & always will be, the best place to meet new friends, i have been across the world to meet some & here in the UK aswell & they have been great to see. I recomend to everyone around the world to get Paltalk & make this whole world come together in friendship, it truly does make you feel special in this world...Thankyou Paltalk, you have one very happy customer & friend here, hugs from ian666.

Paltalk is a Porn Site
by goodleader ,Aug 18 '04
Pros: Was a first rate, has dropped to no service and down all the time Cons: Can't contact direct, once they get your money they can't help you.
Pal talk has turned into a Porn Site for the sole purpose of sex and more sex they have no interest in the family side of voice chat or good clean music rooms.

Thank you Paltalk
by dr-yousef ,Mar 27 '05
Pros: it is most famous in Middle East. Cons: Till now I could not find a clear wrong thing.
It was wonderful. It holds the whole world together as a small "room", not a small village. I used it and I am so happy to be able to build my own room and spread my own ideas. I AM GRATEFUL TO PALTALK

Opinion of Paltalk
by wyldemane ,Oct 28 '03
Pros: discussion, friends, information Cons: stalkers, backstabbing, hackers
I have been using Paltalk for just about a year now, have learned a lot from all the different cultures on Paltalk. It has made me open my eyes to the differences and similarities of different races, religions, etc. In the beginning I really looked forward to coming on and chatting in Social Issues. But, over the past year, it has become very jaded, nasty and people are at each others' throats. Now, I don't trust easily, and feel like I'm fighting that clique in high school thing again. It's a real shame. I am thinking of uninstalling Paltalk now. I hope something happens to change my mind.
