    Yes, you have to pay to contact someone if they are not already on your contact list.

      Hi Allan, I've had the same thing happen & there will be someone on here who will make an initial contact for you.
      Once they've done that it is down to your contact to pm you & then you can continue either by pm or if you are happy you can exchange emails.

        Though of course if your contact isn't a paid-up member either, they will not be able to contact you unless one of you pays!

            Allan,

            If your dates match their dates exactly then they may contact you. I also left GR over a year ago but now you have to pay for just 6 months at a time cost over £9 for 6 months. If your dates are out by a year then it may be worth you changing your year temporarily ro see if it comes up on hot matches. I have to say with my skeletal tree people do contact me and I can then answer. I have had three in two weeks one of which was interesting for me, and we are now in touch by e mail. The only trouble is if your dates are out by a year with the person you want to contact, then that match does not come up on hot matches. I find that hilarious. I have perfect matches of same name, place and out by one year no match, but a same name, same year and totally different country comes up time and time again as a match!

                      how does that work then?

                      I have alot of contacts in my messagebox, one particular person I wanted to contact, so I click on her name and type message. click send..

                      then get the 'to send this you must cough up £9' or whatever the rip off is now to be able to send to someone already IN my contact list.

                      :(

                      Not a happy bunny.

                        I wonder if that means that your contact hasn't paid up either, Julie?

                          If she is in your contacts then click "reply" to a previous message from her & it should go through.

                            I dont know Kate, it made me wonder if they had closed that particular loophole....

                            I'm pretty convinced I did Glen, (nice to see you btw)

                            I will try again though, and see if it makes a diff

                              Thanks Julie, always lurking, never saying much.

                              I had the same problem as you when I attempted to message a previous contact but the "reply" method worked for me.

                                ahhhhhhh

                                I lurk too... ;)

                                Well I have just tried again with a contact and 'replied' to one of his pm's, THAT one went ok, so its either like Kate said, the person I wanted to contact then must only be a free member like me. (and her email addy I think has changed) oh well,

                                win some lose some....
