Best way to communicate

[travelguy]

This should probably be in the 411 section, but I don`t see that link?
Just wondering what my best option would be to communicate with SP`s for my hobbying?
I`m not a tech person, so bare with me. Is there a prepaid phone that I can buy outright and just prepay for texting etc.?
I am getting very leery of late using my personal phone.
I
Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I use textnow, definitely not good to use your real number.
As there are profiles that yes scream scammer etc etc.. but there some that, you just can't tell..
Then the next thing you know you have a scammer that has your real number.. and I am like, yeah no thanks.

There will be SPs who will only book with a real number, and I still say no, just my opinion there.

You can choose to do differently, but make sure they are thoroughly reviewed before you do that!!!!!!

Many Use Text app , and some a prepaid phone . Most of girls prefer direct questions with a name and preferred time request possibly alterative . If possible not a lot of questions as I think we all take care of our own phones xoxo be thoughtful and considerate when messaging xoxo much Love Heather

I think if you're respectful of a woman's time and to the point , and if you're willing to give personal details about yourself (nothing too personal but a little introduction is nice) and have an open line of communication... I don't think it matters if you use a texting app.

I don't talk to texting apps because people who use them are generally really immature and a lot of time wasters use texting apps to bother women and repeatedly fake book them... And send abusive messages

I say I don't accept appointments from texting apps... But the truth is, I don't accept emotionally stunted messages from texting apps.I don't respond to "hey" "hi" "hello" "hlo" "are you available" and "can you be available in 15 minutes"

If someone can come to me respectfully and get across in a few messages that they are genuine and they mean business ill take the appointment.

The minute anything becomes disingenuous or fishy i'm asking for a deposit, i'm asking for photo identification, i'm blocking the number.

As long as you are straightforward and to the points but also relaying that you're serious in your intentions to book and that you're just an average guy who's not looking to play games , I don't see why anyone wouldn't book with you from a texting app.

That being said every provider can ask for what they want, because of their specific needs and that's okay too.

I just know for myself I go through all of these steps to avoid abusive texts and fake bookings. In my specific circumstances , if someone can just relay to me and make me feel comfortable that they are a genuine person, that means more to me than if they are using a real phone number.

The more someone is trying to hide their identity the more suspicious I am of them. If we're already going into a working relationship where you don't trust me even a bit but im supposed to welcome you into my space and inside my body... its not worth the business.

Just introduce yourself how you would introduce yourself to a stranger. You're not gonna give them your credit card.You're not going to give them your address , but you are going to give them very basic details about yourself to help them paint a picture and put themselves at ease.

We're all just women trying to keep ourselves safe. Try to remember that. Try to remember that no one is doing it to inconvenience you and we're not doing it to be malicious. It's for safety.

You can get prepaid SIM cards if you have an old phone laying around. You can also get prepaid phones for texting.

I know you said you're not a tech person but you can get an e-sim card as well.

Text apps are also a valid option, just remember to turn the notifications off for it when you aren't using it. I use them for booking and inquiring with Indies. I would still recommend booking highly well-reviewed ladies with your real # as you know the won't randomly message you. Ladies such as Jenesis, Heather, Ashlee, Amber, Nikki, Xina, Kaydence, Gianna, Heidi, Charlotte, Tana, Ebony Sierra, Ashley, etc. Then just delete the messages but save their contact.

However, if you go the burner/prepaid phone route it would still be a real number and would likely be okay.

Multiple options to pick from. Whatever is convenient and works best for you.

I remember back in the 1990's going to payphones with a handful of quarters and a list of SP phone numbers checking availability & services.... ah, things were so innocent back then

Or a prepaid calling card

Just be aware. Text apps and real phone numbers each come with their own risks and positivity. You risk not seeing escorts that you want because they won’t accept Text App like myself. Or you possibly being contacted if you start contacting shady people. You can eliminate the shady people however if you do your proper research.

I personally don’t like too accept contact from text app numbers for several reasons. In my experience, these numbers are often linked to fake or last-minute bookings, prank calls, and people who aren’t genuinely interested in meeting. They’re also commonly used by individuals who send abusive, threatening, or inappropriate messages, which can make communication stressful and unsafe.
To maintain a respectful and trustworthy environment, I only respond to genuine inquiries made from a regular phone number. This helps me verify who I’m speaking with, ensure clear communication, and create a comfortable and professional experience for both of us.

 

[RebelinBed]

All of which are fair points. Totally reasonable. Personally, I would book you from my real # because I know it would be safe for me to do so.

However, while the types of clients you mentioned use text apps for the reasons you listed, there are many of us who are good clients who either can't use their real # or need an alternate number for discretion purposes.

For example, there are many indie ladies who will send out random texts, as you've seen mentioned in multiple threads, to let previous contacts know they're in town or available even if the contact didn't make a booking. While we can both agree that's highly inappropriate because it breaks the agreement of discretion, a lot of ladies either don't think about that or simply don't care.

There are also plenty of legit SPs (and fakes/scammers) who also use text app numbers or alternate numbers for work so they don't have guys messaging them when they're not working and potentially outing them for what they do in their personal life which is the same equivalent to my previous example on the other side of the coin.

At the end of the day, clients and SPs can go back and forth on this subject until the end of time. There are both perfectly legitimate reasons for both men and SPs to use text apps or alternate #s and there are illegitimate reasons they get used as well. It is simply up to each individual to navigate this on their own for what works best for them. If that means certain clients and ladies will never meet, then so be it.

 

[Jenesis]

If that means certain clients and ladies will never meet, then so be it.

This is my opinion. I know there a probably good clients out there that I will never meet because I won’t accept text apps. And I’m ok with that. It sucks but I get over it pretty easy and I am sure they do as well when they can’t book me. LOL.
