Created in early 1998, InterPals began as the "International Penpal Page," a small forum for people to find email and postal pen pals from around the world. The page quickly became so popular that we re-built it from the ground up and renamed it InterPals in 1999. Since then, the site has become by far the largest and most popular free pen pal site on the web.

Our original mission remains unchanged: to help people find penpals and friends over the Internet for free. We are dedicated to providing this service to our users for free -- and at no point do we plan to start charging for any of our services. Your support for our sponsors (whose banners appear on our pages) make this site possible.

If you are having trouble with your InterPals account, please check our FAQ before contacting us.
