Sugar Kayne 274 Report post Posted April 13, 2020 On 4/9/2020 at 8:32 AM, Studio 110 by Sophia said: Thank you MOD 007 for your thoughtful explanation, just want to ask about the difference between an ad and an announcement. I have posted in New Brunswick ads and announcements it is not yet visible. I did not put my phone number in the announcement because it is simply an announcement with new photos. And not an ad as such due to covid-19 therefore phone number seemed redundant. So will that mean that post will not be approved? Announcement page is what I used for saying im not available, or to say thanks for something, or to share tips to other users. Anytime i wanted to let people know something unrelated to my availability. Always wondered if it should be in escort discussion section, but thats usually filled w questions abt the providers so seems the wrong place for me to post non-ad related info. I hope the announcement section survives... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being a privacy advocate, I use services like this anytime a business wants a phone number for me. They are very difficult to sim-swap and have built in privacy features including options to set "business hours" where all calls/texts outside of those hours don't notify you at all. Feel free ro DM if you want more info. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MsManda 25685 Report post Posted April 14, 2020 Thanks, OldandNerdy! I have looked into them a few times, but upon reading the reviews of even the paid apps, none seemed reliable enough for me to trust my business with on a regular basis 😞 They may be ok for the occasional user just looking for discretion, but I need something surefire that won't potentially fail me, crash, delete contacts or important booking info in the middle of a lengthy tour as I've seen them do with my friends. The glitches seemed to not mind if the users were premium or not 😞 As well, literally anytime that I've tried to post a contact number, anywhere in the country but Mtl, I've been met with not generally less than pleasant texts and calls, fake bookings etc, so for my sanity, I prefer to know & control who has a direct line to me.. My emails have never failed me, and I have no issue sharing my number with those who really need it, especially after we've met 🙂 But in almost 8 years, I've only even considered posting my number a few times, and tried even less due to the headaches. I always end up removing my number after a few hours Props to those who can handle accepting texts and calls from strangers lol 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not fair to customers either if they are going to try that method of contact and never get a response. And I don’t want to be forced to use a “work” number. I have a daytime job and just can’t managed that type of administrative work on top of that. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
