Interesting comment DaniellaDViante. I use a separate hobby phone, a verizon pay as you go phone from walmart. Maybe that is why I dont get hardly any callbacks or reply to screening forms that I fill out. Hmmmmmmmm.
In addition to the hobby phone, recommend that you join a verification site (such as P411, Date Check, etc) or submit reviews/verify using this site. It definitely makes it safer for both us and the ladies in the hobby. Also, when you check e-mail, DO NOT use your work system. When you check from home, use programs that masks your IP address, or as someone stated elsewhere, use a dedicated "hobby computer." Stay safe, have fun.
walmart, verizon, cash prepaid. I've kept most of our old cell phones, so I have a drawer of old phones and other electronic junk that I keep my hobby phone in always in silent mode and off with battery removed when someone is around.
