If they don't respond after two polite texts over a period of a day or so just move on. Sometimes they get busy and don't want to work and it has absolutely nothing to do with you. Continuing to badger then will do nothing but alienate them. In my business I often don't return calls if I don't want or need the work, it makes no sense to call people up and say sorry I don't want the work… if they're available and into it they will get back to you if not they usually just ghost.
Looking to hear everyone's thoughts on providers who either never answer any communication method or are just really bad about it. If you are discreet and respectful but continue to not hear back, at what point do you all move on even if she is someone you are extremely dead set on seeing?

Many providers list their phone number for convenience (or using TER as an example - sometimes it is listed as part of their profile) but they have a policy of not texting or speaking to anyone who is not verified already. And for the majority of providers, verification is handled exclusively via email.
Or...maybe she is just taking a personal day (or three)
Maybe check her posted schedule to see if you are, in fact, contacting her during her scheduled business hours.
My two cents...or perhaps somewhere around 0.43 cents. 😏
Xxx
I wish more providers would state their preferred method of contact. It's easier for both parties. Otherwise I feel like I'm guessing, and wondering if the information is up-to-date. I've seen a couple providers that seemed to change their numbers annually and had different numbers listed at different sources. It also helps when reviewers state how they contacted the provider.
If Eric preferred method of contact is not clearly stated, a suggestion for an approach would be simply to text AND email (yes both) "What is your preferred contact method so I might enjoy the pleasure of your company?"
I will take your advice on that, thank you Ms. Malone!
as a provider, and I only work 2 maybe 3 days a week. the days I am at home I put my work phone away. the days I am working its MUCH easier to text and do the verification then call and give directions. a lot of girls also don't respond to text and could have sms blocking on there phones (I once did) and its really hard to answer and call back when you have so many calls to go through. i always go with the most legit looking number if i have a lot of missed calls. hope this helps
It's a business; not answering tells you they're not interested. Probably best to move on. At the end of the day, I'd probably consider it pretty rude on the provider's part if you've emailed and they haven't responded in a day or two especially if you tried a follow up note/text. I know there have been some providers over the years I've contacted who just don't respond despite being very active on social media, the boards, etc and just taken that as a sign they aren't interested.
If their business suffers, they can look back on the choices they've made. No reason to expend energy on your part since there are plenty of great ladies who'll answer.
Such as: My preferred method of contact is email. The summation: Computer needed replacing and simultaneously setting up a new phone.
Two communications were found in spam 6 days after being sent. They shouldn't have gone into spam but they did.
I will respond with an apology and brief explanation, but if the potential client wishes to move on because he feels slighted that a timely response wasn't delivered, he has every right to make that decision.
Yes, it's a business but not all owners run their companies the same way. Some succeed and have good reputations, others fall on their face. Then take into consideration that shit happens. If the gent wishes to be tolerant of this, he has every right to make that decision as well.
As suggested some companions have a large pile of messages and can't get to all of them timely. This is my clue to move on since I'd rather not see such a busy gal. Especially since I am not as interested in what typically makes them so busy 
So you can get some real answers, to what the real situation is , from the members of the local board.
Hope it works out for you.
Unfortunately I didn't keep all the communication/lackthereof, but I think from everyone's advice, as well as from asking the same question on the general board, tht I've learned a few things. I'm taking my lumps and moving on to the plenty of other great providers who value their clients and write back in a respectiful timeline.
Thank you all for the advice!
From a providers point of view we do have to change our numbers from time to time. Texts don't always go through and some of them are missed. I agree that it should state on the ad the way she likes to be contacted.
