It's been good to know ya
Mostly it is the blocked calls that are the no shows as well. I will only answer them if a certain individual informs me who he is and when he will be calling other than that I only answer if I am in my bedroom asleep and my phone rings and I cannot see the number and I am too lazy to run to my living room. Yeah sure it is possibly lost business as well but it is also increasing the odds for a legit client to get in too plus the obvious it is an added risk. We all learn with experience what is best for each of us.
If an escort offers incall service, why should she give out her address to someone who insists on being completely anonymous?
There are risks in this business on both sides. People who believe that they are safer with someone who appears willing to take 100% of the risks are particularly naive. Why would anyone do that? It makes no sense. Either they're desperate (and why would that be??) or they already know they worse than any criminal that might be targeting them -- not good!!
Risks are best shared equally between escort and customer.
I sometimes answer blocked numbers, but if they want an appointment, they have to give me valid verification info. Sometimes these callers just need to talk to someone enough to feel safe before they give out more. But it's not a good idea to make an appointment with someone without having them verified.

I know this is an old thread but the other day I had an SP tell me she would not answer blocked calls, no problem but she said use a pay phone. I believe pay phones are unblocked but what good would that do. Still no way of connecting me to anything. I also have been noticing that a lot of the Ladies let their phone go to voice mail whether the number is blocked or not.
Blocks calls are usually guys who are not serious, or immature people calling with friends in the background laughing, then of course those wonder guys who call and are jerking off on the phone.
Someone who is willing to show thier number are more willing to come in. Block calls you have to fish out a lot of garbage calls before you get a real serious client who wants to see you.

I used to answer blocked calls but not so much anymore. It's true that guys who block their number are often more likely to 'no-show.' They're also much less likely to want to give you their phone number and/or (real) last name. (The last name is important when doing an outcall to a hotel since many hotels now require it when calling the guest in his room).
Also, I've had problems with a couple of men harrassing me over the last year, so I just avoid the blocked calls altogether in case it's them. It's unfortunate that because of a few a**holes, many SPs don't feel comfortable answering private calls...

The rest of what you said made perfect sense.MissCroft said:
Except that anytime I've ever been to an incall at a hotel, I was given the room number and I dont' have to bother with the front desk. Why would you need a last name just for the room number?
Ruck, I think you misread what I wrote...no, you certainly don't need a last name for incall and I never request it then.
The problem is when I'm going to an OUTcall in a hotel and the client has only given me the room number (no cellphone number). With either no last name or a fake last name, when the person on the phone (in some hotels) asks for the last name of the guest and I don't have it, they won't put me through to the guest. I know the Delta Chelsea always does this...

An easy way to deal with blocked or private calls is to take the call and ask the caller for a number that you can call THEM back at to continue the conversation at. (some people call from an office or somewhere they have no control of the number being blocked or private) If they are unwilling to give you a number to be reached at then they would most likely be a waste of your time anyway, so say goodbye and take another call 
I just don't see why so many guys are reluctant to leave a voicemail. When it's a blocked call AND there's no message I just write it off as someone who's either not really that interested or is playing games. (This may or may not be true but that's the way I end up seeing it).

This is a scenario that's happened to me a few times:
The potential client calls or e-mails me and tells me he is in room 206 of the Sheraton (just an example of course). He says he doesn't have a cell phone number and doesn't give me a last name. In many cases, he ASKS me to call him at the hotel to confirm (or I do it regardless - how else do I know he's really there)? And then...the hotel won't put me through to him without his surname.
Or - and this is really annoying - they ask me for the last name of the guest and I say "Smith" (the name that was given to me) and they say, "Sorry that's not the name of the guest." In this case, I may just not show up because how do I know it's not a joke? Then I get an e-mail the following day asking why I "stood them up." It is their own fault.... Sorry, I'm veering off the topic a bit.

I can only speak for myself here but if someone callls from a blocked number and leaves a message.......I call them back.My experience is that a lot of companies block the outgoing number through their phone system,and others have the number blocked on their cell phones for personal/business reasons.
As for Rogers,I think there is a way around that
I have had some pretty strange names show up on my call display the last few months,I am positive they don't belong to the wireless subscriber.Why not call Rogers and see if "Donald Duck" is still available.[/QUOTE]
So if I were to leave a message you would look at it even if no number showed up.
I read some where here on the board that Virgin Mobile will take any Name you give when you purchase one of their Pay as You Go phones, guess I'll have to get a new phone.
Although I have one Lady I see regularly who let's me book thru Text Messaging. Cheaper to do and works really well.

just an aside for rogers and fido subscribers...
for cellular service (not sure about rogers home phone) you can change your outgoing name to whatever you wish. Simply call the customer service line and get them to do it. If they say that's not possible, ask to speak to their manager or to put you through to someone who can help you because it *IS* possible. I know because I have changed mine both this way. My pornstar massage line which is fido(also the same with rogers) has 'Violet Marcell' as my outgoing name. My personal cell, well, that's for me to know and you to wonder about Needless to say, it also isn't my 'real name!'

Needless to say, it also isn't my 'real name!'I totally agree with the girls that refuse to answer calls form blocked numbers. The bulk of no-shows come from callers with blocked numbers and no-shows are the bane of the industry, frustrating both the girls and their serious clients.
Having said that, I received a call from the girl I was due to see today, she was confirming the appointment time and she called from a blocked number!
Clearly what is good for the gander is not good for the goose.
When I quizzed her about this, she said that some phones would display here real name. I suppose she has a point.

yes but you already have her number for contact and she could be calling you from anywhere, so to be discreet she may want to block her #
where as, a client who blocks his number or refuses to give it out, leaves no contact for the sp.
anyway I too think that most private callers are a waste of time, I may on occasion answer a pp or bn, but will ask for a call back number if they don't want to give it up I usually just cut the call, as I see no sense wasting time with crank callers
But.....
There are some of us who legitimately "share" a cell phone with their SO, or whom use a "work" cell phone that is shared. I usually always initiate my first call to an SP as "blocked". And it is not to "annoy, harass, or waste time".
It works both ways. What if an SP calls me when I'm with my SO? What's stopping her from messing with me? Until I get to know HER, SHE cannot be trusted. I cannot walk around with my cell turned off, because a one-time (recent) SP has my number and could f&ck with it. What if a "friend" saw it and called as "a joke".
Am I being paranoid? Don't answer that, I probably am. My point is, there are risks on both sides.
