I don't care for it unless it's someone I have a friendly relationship with already and I hear from them other times than when they are trying to get me to book an appointment. That just feels like pressure to book if it's the only time I hear from them. I do very much like to hear from those I consider friends though and my hobby phone is secure so it's never an issue for them to text me.do u have proof of it being some body else??? U cant know that 4 sure
If we are talking about first texts from people I've never seen before, I don't like those. Partly because if feels like pressure, and partly because in my experience those first contact texts are frequently being written by someone other than the person they appear to be from. Who that might be is best left as an exercise for the reader's imagination since it will incur the wrath of the staff for me to type the forbidden word. Originally Posted by SpankyJ

Since I don't have to worry about anyone seeing my phone, I use it for communication. I sometimes use a google voice number for initial contact just til I am comfortable with the person.
I don't mind texts but there are times where I am in a meeting with my phone and I don't want to have to worry about something popping up in front of others. I finally figured out how to hide alerts from specific people so I can check messages on my own time. That has worked out the best for me.
As far as receiving other texts that might be unwanted, I guess you can control the action just like tennis. If you want to slow down the game, don't hit the ball back. Probably a bad analogy but you get the point-game-set-match. Originally Posted by Exchequer

Small world I guess. Originally Posted by SpankyJ
