A system and method that provides user and third party initiated, anonymous tele-chat sessions. In one embodiment, third party initiation of a tele-chat session is provided by matching a new or initiating user with existing system users. A list of matching users may then be formatted as, for example, a short message service (SMS) or audio message and communicated to the new user. In another embodiment, a user initiates a tele-chat session by establishing a communication link between the tele-chat system and a new user's SMS enabled device. The new user then communicates a message to the tele-chat system, indicating the nickname of an existing user's with which the new user desires a tele-chat session. Once the tele-chat system receives this message, the system identifies the destination user's address. The new user's message then may be communicated to the existing user, without revealing the true identify of either of the users.
