Ok yes, Zoosk website has a great user interface!
Sadly, sites like Zoosk and Match don’t allow you to message without subscribing. I don’t know if they still do it, but these websites will sometimes have a promotional offer that will allow you to message for the first few days, there might be an offer out there for ya. According to Zoosk’s very own Dating Blog, this is the current cost of subscription: 12 months for $12.49 per month (One payment of $149.88) 6 months for $12.49 per month (One payment of $74.95) 3 months for $19.98 per month (One payment of $59.95) 1 month for $29.95 per month (One payment of $29.95). Eureka, I’ve found a lovely man. He’s a kind, considerate and affectionate guy. My only complaint with Zoosk is the difficulty in getting off the site, and cancelling the automatic monthly debit from my credit card. I found - to my cost - that I’d paid for an extra 2 months I didn’t need. Check your network connection. To send a message as iMessage or MMS, you need a cellular data or Wi-Fi connection. To send an SMS message, you need cellular network connection. If you turn on Wi-Fi Calling, you can send SMS messages over Wi-Fi. Check with your carrier to see if the type of message you’re trying to send, like MMS or SMS, is.
Yes, Zoosk has a great user base! I meet great people.
However, Zoosk website has a huge problem.
Let me explain you the problem with an example.
I join Zoosk recently and I send a wink to some nice girl out there.
Some of them show interest.
Do you love to talk over a basic website message system? Personally, I don’t.
When one of those girls shows interest my first action is to invite them to chat over my instant messaging system.
Zoosk doesn’t want you to share your personal information like e-mail. This is a legit rule to protect people online.
It is great but when they ask you to pay to start a conversation and you can’t put your personal information there. Now I think there is a problem.
I pay to talk over their communication system so I guess I have the right to put my personal info to talk with the person with the tool I want. We are adult after all.

I can live with the consequences.
This is a huge problem from zoosk.
I’m not the only one to find it strange.
Many people has bad reviews for zoosk.
Zoosk Wont Let Me Send Messages Back
My last recommendation is do not send money to zoosk until they fix this strange problem.
Do not join zoosk unless you are ready to trick the game like many people are doing already.
This is my letter to zoosk after I pay for a bad service….
PS: they do have one of the best user interfaces in the dating space….
This is definitely not the best way to promote your profile online and find love.

Yesterday I receive this question:
How can I send and receive zoosk emails without paying?
At first I was chock that people are still using Zoosk because Zoosk does not have the best dating service out there.
I would recommend using Badoo or POF. Badoo is a creepy service but at least it is free.
New UPDATE August 2013 :Test my new zoosk tool to read and send messages to a specif user now.
Zoosk Wont Let Me Send Messages Now
Anyway back to the question.
I use a very simple trick. This trick might not work anymore after I publish this article.
I create a new zoosk profile with the same username that I use on google profile or facebook or twitter (you choose).
I wink the person I like. In my profile I say clearly that you must search on any search engine my zoosk username profile to contact me. (note zoosk moderator seems to read profile manually now)
They usually end up on my twitter account.
It is a little bit complicated and a long process but I had a great success with this trick.
I was able to contact and meet 7 of 10 girls.
I highly recommend that you put your best picture and you write the best profile possible.
