Please girls do not call us...it starts too many questions

If you don't want her to call, DON'T GIVE HER YOUR PHONE NUMBER!

Sure, you can probably use a smartphone and do all the PMing on it, but still very impractical.

I really don't have a problem with a provider calling me. My hobby phone is always off unless I'm using it for hobby purposes. If a provider calls when phone is off, it goes straight to voice mail. To be honest, I've never had a provider call me unsolicited.

no phone calls,We will call you ok thanks Originally Posted by pickupkid

Do providers really do this? I have never once called a client.

Yes I have girls call me for a date..mostly rookies

When YOU gave those *rookies* your #. Did YOU, take a few minutes to INFORM them that you do NOT want to be called out of the blue??

Like another poster stated. You need to address your issue with the *rookies* your giving your # to.

I will admit I am not a smart phone expert, but I use Google Voice. I have the settings picked so I can call from my cell and the GV number will show to the person I'm calling. After I make the call I can disassociate my cell from the GV number and when someone calls it rings nowhere--it goes straight to voice mail which I can pick up at my leisure.

Again, I don't encourage ladies to call uninvited, but I think it's completely unfair to put the onus on HER because a guy doesn't take the precutions he needs to take.

If I give a lady my direct cell # she also knows she can call any time--and I trust her to be discrete when she does. Only those I trust get it. It's the same thing when ladies give me their personal (non-work) number.

Just ask Tiger Woods!

I don't mind a call but I will say that for some providers when they text it has their name at the end of the message. Not very smart to have your working name identified at the end of every text message. If someone has an SO or hell anyone that sees that message with your name at the end all they have to do is google it. If you have an eccie profile with that name then it's all over.

You can pickup a flip phone for $15 at wallyworld, and that's got $10 of airtime on it. If you gave her your IRL phone number, that's your problem. I have had girls send text messages to my P2P phone, and I don't have a problem with it. (Texting is my preferred way of contact.) Your phone is your security risk and your responsibility. It's kinda like saying, "don't send me any viruses, I don't like using anti-virus."
