After all - if it's a burner phone, it's supposed to be burned... right?  One of the posts below does bring up an issue that I had not really considered before.  Rather than hijacking that thread, I thought it would be reasonable to start another.

A number of wonderful ladies that I see every few months (and use as references) know my existing phone number.  With these ladies - can't imagine that there will be any issues.  Buy the phone, Book by email (about two sentences...), and just let them know what the new number is in that email so that they don't freak when they get the "I'm in the parking lot text".   Maybe they call the new number just to verify that it's still me beforehand.  No problems.

I do, however, like to occasionally mix it up and see other ladies who want/need references.  I am guessing that the initial contact would go something like this:

P411 notification of proposed meeting time/duration;  

I want to book an X hour appointment on DDDDDD at TTTTT.  Please let me know what information you need in addition to my P411/TER references.   I have changed my phone number from 555-555-YYYY to 555-555-ZZZZ - and the old number is what my references know.  Feel free to call me at the new number.

I look forward to meeting you,
XXXX (insert first name here)...

Most ladies of my acquaintance wanted to chat with me before confirming our first meeting.  After that - not so much... and our communication is now 99% digital - text/email.  Obviously my sample size is not huge but I can't think of an exception to that rule.

From a provider/agency perspective - is this a reasonable way to handle a new client phone number?  Or do you just automatically put me into radio silence mode? Do you have a better suggestion?

From a client perspective - what has been your experience with changing phone numbers?
