I think they are amazing by letting you connect with people all over the world. I like to connect with different cultures and learning how they live they think and also to give other people a chance to see how other cultures live and how we live our every day lives.

I appreciate the new safety features, however I do wish you could access you whole mailbox without credits but I understand that's how the money is made I suppose. I did buy access and snail mail credits and now I'm content with the number of pen pals I have. This has been a wonderful resource for me in connecting to people around the world safely, without the vanity of "social media" & everything that comes with that. Here, it's simply about making friends via the messaging first and then once getting to know them better, exchanging postal addresses & emails etc. I find being able to record pen friend's postal addresses and update mail status is very helpful. Thank you for being an option for pen palling!

Great way to practice languages.I’ve improved my language skills and met friendly pen pals. Sometimes it takes time to get replies, but overall it’s a good experience.
