EDD-this feature is not functioning as intended. Speaking/chatting with anyone is not an option. I feel this app is mainly harvesting peoples private information to sell. It does not work as they're intended to do but rather it just requires me to provide all of my private information repeatedly. What! A shame...this system is annoying and a waste of my time.
