Use Time-Waster Protection in SkyPrivate Chat

Time-Waster Protection lets you limit continued free messaging in a member conversation. It is a chat feature, not a guarantee that the member will buy a call or gift.

Turn it on in an eligible conversation

SkyPrivate says the option becomes available after you have received 10 messages in the conversation. Once activated, the member gets five further free messages before needing the offered gift or call route to continue under the protection.

The member sees the available options in the chat. You do not need to invent a separate payment method or ask for an outside transfer.

Understand what turning it off does

You can disable the protection when you want to allow free conversation again. Unused purchased message allowance is preserved rather than automatically discarded by that change.

Messages during a pay-per-minute call are unlimited under the documented feature rules, so do not describe the protection as an extra per-message charge throughout every paid call.

Use the feature to manage your time while keeping your communication clear. If a member is abusive or violates boundaries, use blocking or reporting as appropriate; paid messaging does not require you to accept misconduct or provide an unwanted session.
