SP's who want you to use your real phone number.....

[jeffmac1984 1726]

Does anyone why some Service Providers want us to use our real phone #'s? I really do not feel safe giving out my real phone via text or phone call.

[Guest jrose]

In my experience it's kind of the same thing - they don't feel safe setting up a date with anyone who can visit a site and get a number for free. I have had luck using a text service with ladies I have met before, by giving them the new number. They always have understood.

 

Perhaps a hobby phone on pay as you go for like $10 a month is an option? Get texting on that and you are off and running!

I strickly wont book unless a real phone number. At least for our first meeting. Think of it this way,

You want to be invited into my home and share intimate moments with me and that requires massive trust that you are who you say your are and have no plans to do me harm in any way( physical or otherwise ). I show you trust in giving you my info and that has to be both ways.

[Exotic Touch Danielle 31728]

I personally do not book with those who use text apps for two reasons...1) I feel more safer knowing that I can trust you, we are going to be alone together and 2) if you end up being a No show or what not I can block your number

 

With me it's about having a mutual respect for one another and if you don't feel safe contacting a certain lady with your personal number then perhaps you shouldn't or get a pre paid phone to have a seperate number

(Just a suggestion)

[blacklabdog 3049]

above two replies pretty much sums it up. I have no problem as I'd pnly see what I think is someone reputable anyway. The fact provider is looking out for herself is OK w/me

[Guest Prufrock Cummings]

I've always used my personal phone, I never saw any reason to do otherwise.

[niceman24 361]

Jeffmac... never book with a lady that accepts blocked calls, fake numbers, etc...

the smart reputable SPs will not compromise you, they will respect you and be professional. By protecting them, you protect yourself also... simple!

 

I think the last thing they would want is to be fighting with a bunch of wives...JK hahaha

[Aficionado 993]

I have always used my personal number as well and here is an example of why it can be a good idea...

 

During a recent planned rendezvous, we had exchanged confirmations and the lady provided the general location for her incall. I arrived on time, texted her that I was parked, and awaited the final info. And waited. And waited! I sent a couple of additional texts over about 15 minutes... "Hello?", "Are we still on?", etc.

 

Finally my phone rang and it was her. Something was wrong with her phone and she realized that her texts weren't getting to me. She grabbed a hotel phone and called. If I had been messaging her from a texting app we might not have connected.

 

It was a very pleasant rendezvous saved!

I do not accept texting apps and have a way to check that if the number is through a major cell phone carrier or not. Iristel is the major carrier for text plus app. Start googling until you see a site called datagrip.org and it will tell you if it's through bell, Telus, Rogers. If it's Iristel, I will not book. I google the number all the time. Anytime I see a weird area code ESP when it's followed by "Avail?", I don't even bother.

 

I've even had an another SP try to book a fake date and upon googling the number, all her backpage ads showed which was a texting app. She tried this not once but twice from different texting app numbers which wasn't too bright on her part. This is why I'm wary of booking through these apps to begin with. I may have been born in the night but not last night. Lol.

 

I also make sure that I'm able to call them back with their permission and at a time of their convenience while making sure my number is blocked before calling to confirm so it won't show up if they don't want it showing up in cell phone records. When I ask these text app users to call to book, they vanish into thin air. Lol. I don't waste much time with them.

 

Trust is a two way street and I'm not inviting anyone into my private space who isn't willing to meet me halfway. I also make sure I speak to them on the phone because if an SP is booking just by text and giving out an address, she has no idea who she is communicating with. As a reputable SP, I am discreet to a fault and emphasize this to all potential and regular clients. I value my safety and privacy while respecting the client's as well at all times.

[jeffmac1984 1726]

I can respect that. I have contacted Service Providers and ehen I googled their numbers it came up as a text app. They said they wanted my real #. I then tell them that they are using a text app as well. Usually I get no reply after that. I like to think I dodged a bullet there. As for all of your replies, the responses are definitely valid. Thanks everybody for the input. Have a great day.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

 

Many of these ladies are using text apps themselves. Numbers and pics are changing from week to week, running from brutal reputations and sometimes stalkers. It's all smoke and mirrors and a huge red flag.

 

I have been using text apps for years with very few issues in booking and will continue doing so. All these ladies that say they don't book app users are in the minority IMO.

 

I value my privacy. And don't need some unstable escort with addiction issues googling my personal number and causing me grief.

[moza70 1407]

It's for their own safety. Whatever else is true in this biz, the ultimate truth is that the SP's safety must come first.

As SPs don't paint all clients with the same brush, don't put us all in the same category. Yes, there are women out there using text apps who are unsavoury and then there are those who have good reputations. I suppose I'm in the minority for not accepting texting apps. Then again I'm not running away from something or someone and being an experienced SP, I am in a position to be able to choose who I want to see.

 

With texting apps, imo it's no different than using a blocked number. No thanks. We all have a right to decide what our limitations are. If a client is using a texting app, why not expect an escort to use one but turn around and say it's all smoke and mirrors? That's exactly how I view texting apps from my perspective.

This thread makes me laugh as I've booked with 2 ladies who's posted on this thread " I don't book with texting apps "

[Exotic Touch Danielle 31728]

Well me I don't use a text app nor will I book with anyone calling from a text app for my own personal reasons and you have that choice to either respect that or move along and book with someone who will!

 

Don't book with a lady that doesn't have a good reputation do some research then maybe you wouldnt have to be worried about her calling you and giving you problems, we also have to worry about whom we are inviting into our personal space as well..trust me I have dealt with some pretty crazy dudes and I have no desire to so if I can eliminate that I defiantly will

 

...it's about respecting each others boundaries

 

Not sure who you are referring to but trust me for the most part I do my homework and if the # looks like a text app then you won't see me and if you did then you got pretty lucky!

[Nicolette Vaughn 294340]

If I'm one of the ladies you're referring to, I never said I've never booked from a texting app. I have. I choose not to anymore within the last 6-7 months. Those who I have booked from texting apps probably passed my "other test". That, I won't reveal. ������

 

It goes way beyond about inviting someone into your private space and they're using these numbers.I no longer will book with apps because the amount of bullshit that comes along with these numbers (i.e. some not so bright women who are escorts making fake appts who don't realize you can google their number which shows all their backpage listings, pimps trying to get your location, people soliciting you for illegal things they want you to buy and the list goes on) That's why! I've grown tired of the nonsense and it's a risk I'm no longer willing to take.

 

There are so many other factors like I listed above that many of the men here don't even realize! It has become more rampant nowadays that I've never had to deal with before. I am fortunate to have great regular clients and also to pick and choose who *I* would like to see.

[Studio 110 by Sophia 150333]

I will eco...

If I am one of these ladies, then you must have used a sophisticated apps that has made me even more worried. I will share some info on apps, but not the final voice call.

Perhaps you all fool us silly girls??? Like really??? You all want fast and easy booking but yet then complain when we ask it to be done in the manner we feel safe???? Its a phone number.. Its not your address, alone in a home...it hotel..you may see on average 1 lady a week where as we see on average 3 a day! So if someone robs me, rapes me, or cyber post pics to bully etc. How the hell can I protect myself!

 

" yes officer his name was Tim, here is the phone # between 7pm and 8pm"

"Sorry ma'am, that phone does not exhist! "

 

If it was you I booked...please never ever book me again!

Roar!

[frednorth470 3830]

I can see how requiring a call would be beneficial to us as well. I have had many visits where I have been duped, misled and lied to. Anyone who requires a phone call to confirm the appointment, I have never had an issue with. I understand that they have their safety to think about and sometimes their identity. I expect the same. As I only entertain in calls, I put a lot of trust towards the SP as well. If we can agree to share intimate personal time with each other, a little phone call isn't much to ask for in my opinion.

[Guest S****r]

For me, it's a safety issue. If I go missing or my body turns up dead, there needs to be a starting point for the police to be able to start a trail.

 

If I don't go missing, and I don't turn up dead, then the number has never been seen by anyone but me.

 

I make no apology for that.

[matt58 1070]

I only use my own phone number, I almost never have a problem. The only thing I don't like is when an sp text or calls randomly to let me know she is available. This happened a few times before and I found it unprofessional. Luckily my S.O. Never found out.
