Fancya natter?

A Good Natter friend rings a couple of times a week for a proper chat, and remembers how the allotment's doing and what the grandkids are up to. Pick the friend who suits you.

Meet the friends

Each one has their own voice, their own interests and their own sense of humour. Choose one, or let us pick.

S

Sam

Cheeky, warm and always up for a chat about telly, footy and whatever's on your mind.

“Hiya! It's Sam. Did the roses survive that wind last night?”
M

Maggie

Retired postie who knows everyone's business. Mad on baking, crosswords and a good natter about the soaps.

“Ooh hello love, it's Maggie! I've just burnt a batch of scones, don't tell anyone.”
D

Dev

Ex-bus driver from Brum with a joke for every occasion. Cricket, curries and the odd conspiracy about pigeons.

“Alright! Dev here. Settle something for me, is a hot dog a sandwich?”
R

Rosie

Irish gardener who talks to her tomatoes. Will want to hear all about your week, and your plants.

“Hello there, it's Rosie! I've been out in the garden since six. Tell me, what's your week been like?”

A week of natters

No apps, no screens. Just the phone ringing at a time that suits, and somebody pleased to hear from you.

Get a call

  1. Fill this in for yourself, or for someone you'd like to cheer up.
  2. We text that number. Nothing happens unless they reply YES.
  3. Their friend rings at a time that suits them.

Free to the person being called. UK numbers only for now.

Who would they like to chat with?
Who's it for?

Good questions

Are they real people?

No. Every Good Natter friend is an AI and says so on the first call. They're built to be good company: chatty, funny and kind, and they never pretend otherwise.

Can I switch to a different friend?

Yes, any time. Just say so on a call, or text the number, and we'll swap you over.

What does it cost?

Nothing for the person being called. The calls come from a normal UK number.

Can I ring them back?

Yes. Ring the number any time you fancy a chat and your friend will pick up.

How do the calls stop?

Text STOP, or say on a call that you'd rather not have them. That's the end of it.

What if someone's struggling?

Good Natter friends aren't counsellors or an emergency service. If someone seems unwell it will gently suggest ringing 999 in an emergency, or Samaritans free on 116 123.
