iFriends is a large network of sexy men and women from all over the world, but mostly the U.S., just waiting in front of their cams, hoping that someone will pay for a sexy show. Let's give a full look at all of the pluses and minuses it has to offer.
At most hours, you'll find between 250 to 300 performers online on iFriends, which means a decent selection of hotties. You'll find babes in both solo and one-on-one settings with their loving partner, be it a man or a woman. Of that number, only a small amount feature guys. To whittle down the selection, you'll find a detailed search page that helps you find performers based on height, weight, age, build, eye color and hair length. There's also a search bar for more general inquiries.
Most performers don't offer free video chat, but some do. For those that don't, you have an option to see 20 seconds for free, so you can make an informed purchase. It's not as good as being able to have a full conversation with the model to see what they're into, but it's better than nothing.
Most cams look average, but you will find some marked HQ and HD and these often look great. While there are many controls that allow you to change the font and camera size, there is no section giving you a countdown of your finances as you're in private chat. This can be a problem if you get caught up with a model and aren't paying attention to how much you are spending. Although, if you get that caught up with a chick it must mean she is good and probably worth ignoring the time. There isn't a receipt either, though you can check your account settings and get a detailed breakdown of your purchases.
Most offer cam2cam and two-way audio, but not all of them, so be sure to check before entering a chat. The site has done a good job of leaving easily recognizable icons to let you know what features they provide. Many hotties also offer a phone sex option if you want to have an in-depth conversation with them while they put on a show.
The models set their own prices and while the range can be as low as $1.99/minute to as much as $9.99/minute, expect to pay $3.99/minute for most cams. Generally, things get more expensive when you're enjoying a fetish or couples show. Many of the performers have detailed bios, along with tons of free videos and picture galleries. The only thing is that you have to be willing to browse the bios to find them. It's worth digging, however, as some have a sizable amount of free content to get you going.
You also have the option of joining a performer's fan club and gaining access to videos, pictures and other goodies that non-fan club members don't have access to. Some models charge for that, while others offer it for free, so browse around and see what you find. In the end, iFriends is a good cam site and you'll find a lot to enjoy here - just watch out for the really expensive models.

GREAT SCAM they have going: because the iFriends.net site has adult content they quite legitimately ask for your credit card information so that they can validate you're an adult. They promise only a "small charge" will be made for the validation, though they don't say exactly how much that will be. But they explicitly make clear that they won't be billing you for anything more unless and until you decide to sign up (which turns out to be a boldfaced lie) and there's a lot of free content there too, sounds real good at first. Until it turns out that what they told you was free really isn't, and you get huge charges made to the credit card that they promised would never happen until and unless you decided to join the website. Isn't that cute? Bait and switch
Desmond = Imlive or Live Jasmin employee? Very strange post! BukkakeMan actually sounds a helluva lot more credible, Desmond sounds like he has a vendetta for any kind of competition to his own site?
Oh God, here we go again. Same iFriends employee writing bogus reviews. You say the same thing in every fake review. The "BBB rating is perfect," "it's the oldest cam site," always attacking other reviewers, "Madison Lambert" (Whoever the hell that is) mentioned in several reviews. Why don't you just write your phony reviews without attacking others experiences? If they don't like the site, they don't like it, end of story. Nothing you can do about it. iFriends HAS been around a long time and they have NEVER CHANGED. Same fake charges, same old models that get older by the day, crappy search function, crappy design and weirdo employees that write fake reviews on sites like this. Do not recommend. By the way, multiple reviews here mention the phony charges thing so there is something to that. "Bukkake MAN" and all the other fake reviewers, are YOU "Madison Lambert?" Is that what's going on here? Get a life. 99 out of 100? Really? No cons at all? I smell a fake.
Hmmmmm.... The review by "Corey" below is really bizarre. iFriends has a perfect rating with the BBB and 24/7 chat customer service. Not sure what site he was referring to, because it couldn't have been iFriends. I've been a member for about a year now and never have seen any "fake charges". The site is like the oldest and most popular adult cam site, I doubt they'd be as big as they are if they were giving fake charges. Maybe "Corey" was clicking away horny and wasn't paying attention? That's usually the case with some of these wacko reviews. There was one time I was disconnected during a cam session with a model named Madison Lambert, and iFriends refunded the entire amount back to me, no questions asked. I can't even get that kind of customer service at Walmart. Anyways, iFriends is one of my favorites. Say what you want about them, but they've been around the longest for a reason - people love the site and keep coming back for more.
Worst.
Live cam site.
Ever.
Cons: Customer service not existent, search function is poor, service is expensive/of poor value, once they have your cc info you can expect lots of fake charges to appear.
Pro: Only pro that I can think of is that they are plenty of free photos on the site that anyone, even unregistered guests can access. If you must use this site, use it for the free pics. Don't register and don't even think about sharing your cc information with this site.
Trouble is, more than one reviewer made comments about "fake charges." Billing in increments explains it, but that's just a bizarre way to handle billing and very confusing to the members. Wallet sounds like the solution to any confusion about billing, but for me, minuses outweighed the pluses on this site. Rather keep it simple and buy credits beforehand. IMLive, LiveJasmin, etc. Decent selection of models was a plus.
Agree with previous users, no way to check your spending, lots of fake charges, weak customer service. Have not used the site for awhile since it's pretty much unusable now but last time I checked, the search function was pretty useless and there seemed to be a huge drop in the number of chat hosts on the site. No longer a good selection. On the plus side there used to be some good models there from many different ethnic categories and maybe there still are. One HUGE problem that I don't know if they have corrected was that UNREGISTERED guests, aka beggars, who are just there to waste the model's time, used to be able to talk to the model and any other visitor to her room WHILE you were in a private chat! Completely ridiculous and reason enough to avoid this site. The last thing I need during a private chat is to listen to some buffoon trying to flatter some cam girl that he can not even see on web cam because he's too cheap to join and enter credit card info. Nearly useless site that I cannot recommend. Better sites out there for you.
This is a very frustrating site. On the plus side there are many hot girls and the video quality is often high (HD, or near). Also the video archive is good and you can download quite a bit of it without having to join fanclubs.
On the down side though...is far too much really. As a previous poster said the "free" fanclubs are not really free, as you have to spend the joining fee in chat with the host in order for it to be free (its usually $30). Admittedly this will usually not be a problem as long as you remember to join the fanclub before your first chatroom visit, as you won't be able to find many hosts charging less than $2.99 a minute.
Which leads to the main problem with ifriends....unlike most of the other cam sites on the web there is no way to check your spending on ifriends until your credit card bill comes in. Which means you should always keep track of your times spent in paid chat. This also seems to allow ifriends to add extra minutes to your bill.
Its a pity they act so badly to paying customers, because as I said there are many good things about the site (including my favorite cam girl!). But I am afraid the minuses outweigh the plusses, and I hope that I won't be going back (although that girl may get me!)
Fan Club for "FREE" to me was a rip off. First you don't get much except a 10% discount off the video hosts normal rates. Be very careful. It isn't for free - if you don't spend a set amount a month with each person you signed up for in a month, they charge you that amount at the end of the month.
Also - the billings are usually for a THREE MINUTE MINIMUM which they don't say. And even customer service representatives do not know this. And the company charges extra minutes for each chat. So a 3 minute chat is charged for 4-5 mintues.
Joined this site and used it a bit. Girls ok, most next door types. Big problem is, Lots of fake credit card charges. You will be billed on your card, even if you not on site using. One month had over 250.00 charged. And never used them once. Canceled my membership fast and got a refund from credit card company. Beware of this rip off site.
