If they don't read/respect your showcase or ad, you figure this thread will do the trick?.

What will help is what you've done. If you don't want to get a hobby phone, don't. But if I were you, I would only give out my personal phone number to someone that has been verified.
I'm assuming that you are aware that a prospective employer, s.o. or relative could google your number and stumble upon ads, reviews and such. That alone would make me want to get a hobby phone...
