Subichat alternative: talk by voice or text, no camera

"Per its FAQ" means the questions and answers built into the code of Subichat's home page for search engines, fetched on 20 October 2026. The page you see in the browser shows the rooms and rules but does not mention calls.

Subichat is a chat-room site for India, with a copyright line running from 2021 to 2026. Its home page offers three ways in, Guest, Login and Register, and a set of rooms by language: Hindi, English, Bhojpuri, Punjabi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu and Kannada. The idea is the classic room: you pick the one in your language and talk with whoever is there.

It has a short set of rules on the same page. You are asked to enter with a genuine name, and the page warns that a fake one can get you banned. You should not share personal details, spam or promote anything, and each person may have one account only.

The visible page stops there, but the same page carries a set of FAQ answers in its code, written for search engines, and they describe more. They say Subichat is free, that a guest account needs only a nickname and a gender, that random video and audio calls run over WebRTC and that no video is stored on its servers, and that moderation combines AI and people. A paid Royal VIP Club adds a gender filter, a crown badge, priority messaging, unlimited call history and no ads. We have not tried the calls ourselves; this is what Subichat says about them.

A room is a crowd. Everyone sees what you write, replies cross over each other, and a quiet person can go unnoticed for an hour. HearMe Chat is built for the opposite: one conversation with one person. You tap Start, the site finds someone who is also waiting, and it is just the two of you until one of you taps Next.

You can do that out loud. Choose Voice and you are on a voice call with a stranger, using only your microphone. Subichat's FAQ describes video calls; HearMe Chat has no video at all, so nobody can ask you to turn a camera on. Or choose Text and type, which is easier on a crowded bus or late at night when the house is asleep.

You do not give a real name. HearMe Chat asks for a nickname, or makes one up for you, and never shows your country to the other person. On a site where the rules ask for a genuine name, that is the line you cross before saying hello; here it does not exist. Every report goes to our moderation queue and is reviewed by a person. Some room messages are hidden automatically first, and repeated under-18 violations are banned automatically.

The menus and buttons are in Hindi as well as English and six other languages. Matching is worldwide, though, not by language, so the person you meet may be in Delhi or in Dubai; say in your first message which language you would like. Our India guide covers the busy hours here.

For scale: from 13 to 19 October 2026, HearMe Chat counted 9,633 one-to-one text chats and 754 voice calls started on the site, worldwide, read from our own database. Those are whole conversations, not page views.

Language rooms. If you want to chat in Bhojpuri, Telugu or Kannada with people who speak it, a room named for that language puts you straight among them. HearMe Chat cannot promise that: it matches across countries and languages, and it has one room, General, open to everyone.

Rooms also suit people who like to read before they speak, or to talk with several people at once. Subichat has eight of them on its home page; HearMe Chat has one. And if you want to see the person, its FAQ describes random video calls, which HearMe Chat will never offer. And Subichat's copyright line goes back to 2021, while HearMe Chat has only been online since September 2026.

1. Open HearMe Chat, or the Hindi version if you prefer the menus in Hindi.
2. Use any nickname you like. Confirm you are 18 or older.
3. Tap Voice for a call or Text to type. The first time, allow the microphone for Voice.
4. Say which language you would like in your first line. If the match is not right, Next finds another person.

Miss the room? General is open to read and to join, with the real number of people in it.
