That's crazy!!! I have seen her handle before a while back. I would think ladies who have been around for a bit would know that stuff like this will always be brought to other members' attention and will bite them in the ass.
It's NEVER appropriate to solicit a client, ESPECIALLY one you've never met, at random when he might be at home in the company of his SO.. I agree with KL.. Very unprofessional and she showed complete disregard for discretion. Sorry that happened to you! +1000 for everyone who said get a hobby phone! I strongly suggest that.. Or there are also tons of very handy apps for both Android and iPhone.. One in particular that even I use as a business number for new clients is from an app called Pinger. It's free to text so you don't have to pay anything at all unless you need to buy minutes, and they're really inexpensive.
If anyone has any questions on how to get a separate number if you can't get another phone all together, PM me! I can help walk you through it.
