I think not having a cell phone is only practical for outcall.

Incall I'm sure would be a major inconvience. And too many unexperienced clients would make a risk.

1. The two call system allows her to be ready and watch as you arrive to her incall. With no phone your totally hidden. Maybe even posted up at her hotel waiting to see which door she emerges from.

2. I'm sure there would be an instances where a lady is running late.....and she needs you to wait.....but oh shit....u have no phone. Now your upset, you go to front desk or start walking around until you see her maybe.......

3. You know most won't have access to a pay phone....so where will he go...the hotel lobby desk. He calls you like a dumbass in front of staff to ask you for the room number.......discretion is gone.

4. Maybe because he doesn't have a phone you choose to meet him in parking lot.....or hotel lobby. Now ur visible. Originally Posted by gimme_that

I have had many 1st dates with ladies and there was no phone call involved. Contact via e-mail in plenty of time (a week or so), with all references in order, and clear discussion of when and where.

I typically arrange for multi-hour dinner dates, and I have often met the lady at a nice restaurant. It actually allows her ample time to decide if I am a bit too weird and call it off after dinner. If the rest of the evening is a go, we go back to the hotel (hers or mine) together. It makes a lot of things easier that way.

Pacing the lobby of her incall is bad form. But there actually IS one place you can still find pay phones fairly easily: in hotels. And where there is one hotel there is typically another. If something unforeseen happens and texting/e-mail won't work for some reason, that pay phone option is still there as a fall back.

Technology should never be a substitute for either courtesy or thinking. Cell phones are helpful, they are really not essential.
As long as I was made aware of the fact and we arranged another method of communicating I don't see an issue.......

I met a guy that didn't get texts because he still had the same Nokia phone from the early 90s. Seemed sort of weird but to each their own

Kind of no excuse not to have a cell phone..... cheapest pre-paids i've seen cost 15-35 for the phone and another 10-20 to start for some minutes.
