Unsolicited Text Messages

[graphicalguy]

Just wanted to post a warning - group from Ottawa/MTL - Lace & Cherries - just sent me a unsolicited text message just this past friday at near midnight.
My SO went to grab the phone.... yeah I use the same phone..... but I caught it in time.
I have booked with Lola/Lily in the past (unsuccessfully) so they have my digits - but I thought fair warning was in order.

Ladies - if you read this - BAD PRACTICE to send notices via text about your "new" web site....

I received an email from them this morning for Lea Angel but that is fine...a text is a much different story. Sounds like they are still learning...

Ironically, this is the first line at the top of the email: "PLEASE DO NOT SPAM US! If you don't want to be on our member's list, simply Unsubscribe me from this list"

That's a terrible practice. One of the Asian agencies started doing this to me about a year ago. I told them to stop sending texts and never used them again.

With the new cell rates, you can now get a Smartphone with Call Display and Voicemail with unlimited texts and 200 mins for less than $30 a month on a 2-yr contract. No excuse to share a phone considering the risks!! My phone is always on me except overnight when charging and I only answer calls in private unless I know the number. And, never use Bluetooth unless you're by yourself!!
I even have MA contact info on the phone, using Dropbox with secure passwords.
That's my process anyways and it has worked successfully for years

Wow, thanks for the heads up I did not even realize that couples shared cell phones and would have thought text messages were a completely safe, non-invasive means of communication. I like Cleo's practice of not replying to texts older than an hour. GP is going to adopt the same practice.

Never share a phone.....AND ALWAYS...PASSWORD PROTECT AND TURN YOUR PHONE OFF when setting it down!

I don't share a phone...but Cleo's approach (and now GP's) to only respond to a text within an hour or not at all is perfect. It just happened to me this long weekend that I received a response on Friday night to a text that I had sent on Thursday...totally uncool. I of course have a lock on it...but I don't want to have to explain who is texting me to anyone. This is why I prefer email over texting...I can manage access much better.

Here's another tip, most phones have a block list/rejection list that either sends a caller directly to voicemail (without ringing) or does not let texts from the number come through. You can temporarily place the number in the list, then remove it when you need to communicate with an SP.

This may not be practical for everyone, but I set my text message to mute and I just check my phone every so often. I never have an issue of being asked about who's that texting.

This is exactly what I do, turning all incoming texts and emails to mute, and read them whenever it is convenient for me.

Same. I have received unsolicited texts and have requested that this move to email. One agency in particular didn't want to listen and now I have blacklisted them...lol...like they care.

I have certain ladies who I have said can text me anytime...but they are all coded, and I ask them to just text ''hey'' first...so if its seen by the wrong eyes....it just looks like a buddy is calling/texting..
Plus its password protected anyways and always on mute/vibrate..

Ack!!! - Never meant to indicate I SHARED a phone......

No shared phone - was just sitting on the coffee table in front of both of us at the time while watching a movie.

Have now put my phone to not show texts on a lock screen..... my bad.

I can't believe how many guys book escorts while having a SO. I've never felt the need to book one unless I'm single, if I needed service outside of my SO that would be a strong hint that I shouldn't be in a committed relationship with her.

Plea that's a little naive. Guys who have an SO see escorts for a long list of reasons. You can be in a firm relationship, be a good companion, provider, etc and still be a hobbyist. They are not mutually exclusive.

Thanks SGT - was much more pleasant that what I was going to say.....

I have had sp's text me when they are back in town, I don't like it, and they shouldn't do it as some of us do have significant others. I really don't need my SO seeing " hey honey, im back in town come see me" Another note, everyone should be aware that on certain phones texts don't always get erased when you delete a text, it stays in the phones memory and will show up if someone does a search .

And you couldn't have said it better Sgt. B

Exactly!! I, for one, am married and love my wife dearly. Why do I do this? Obviously something is missing and I have spent 18 months and thousands looking to fill a missing piece. Guess what, I found it in a very unlikely place and, if I had listened to her a year ago...
Anyway, I believe this means my variety will be severely reduced and one single lady will reap the financial, and other, rewards. Yes my lady...if you read this over the weekend, you know it is you...4 visits so far...#5 just around the corner.

Did you skip the life lesson on how we're all individuals? And you do understand the basic point of this board, no????? wow.
