good afternoon all,
I am curious from my fellow hobbyists... what have you found the best route for scheduling?
Online website
Phone
Or email?
Do you appreciate confirmation communicate a few hours before?
Email works too and I've never communicated through the provider's website form.

Almost every lady I have seen is on P411. I usually send an intro DM there first to introduce myself and inquire about screening.
After that it's up to her. Most seem to prefer email but I do text or email based on the lady's preference.
I have never used a website.
“it’s up to her”.
Different providers have different preferences on communication channel in my experience. Most that I see prefer email, including emails sent via P411 appointment requests. That’s my preference also. But some never look at email so the only way you’ll reach them if they don’t have a web contact page is calling or texting them. (PMs via TER or P411 might work sometimes.) Often their ads or websites state their preference, but in the absence of those you can sometimes glean the preference from reviews.
I’ve never had a problem with P411. I only see gals who are on P411 so this has never been an issue for me. If it’s a provider that I have never seen before I’ll just send a DM to introduce myself and ask if she would be available between x and y dates in the city that I’ll be traveling to, usually Las Vegas. I typically get a response within a day (Vegas ladies seem to be really good in this regard) and then schedule a date/time after she replies. I’ll do this about a month ahead of time and then firm up/confirm the date/time about a week out. Now that I think about it, I’ll do the same thing with providers that I’ve already visited with. In my opinion, the ladies that I’ve seen in Las Vegas are very approachable in regards to setting up a date on P411. The TER & P411 combination in Vegas has worked very well for me with almost zero complications or letdowns over the past decade.
Every phone-only experience I had was on BP, and that was a hit or miss, miss, miss proposition.
I despise website forms, and text doesn't convey all of what I like to convey.
I book by email.
However, a quick text or email day of to confirm is pretty important. If she doesn't send one, I do.
Master Zen,
You're right. Also I would like to get a provider's view on this because I am willing to bet they want to see how you write before they even interact with you as well as seeing how you follow directions.

...Phone call only if necessary..
I actually HATE talking on phone. The only time I am OK talking on phone w/ anyone is if it is pre-arranged, or if its for an imminent meeting. For e.g. I don't want you texting me when you are driving on your way to meet me. Then please call.
But other than that, if not pre-arranged call, the only folks I am OK with them calling me are my parents. When I was in 9-5 job, my boss would be on that list as well. But that is no longer an issue.
I mean you can still call me, but I will guarantee you, I will not answer that phone call. I will let the VM pick it and then call you back (in a couple of days.. maybe)
So.... I extend the same courtesy to others of time and space, and always deal through emails and /or texts.

I don't really care for phone calls either. I actually have my ringer turned off. And like you, I just let it go to vm.
But... there's one provider I occasionally see who will sometimes call me with her room # instead of texting it when I'm waiting in the parking lot. For her only, I will turn my ringer back on because I don’t know when she'll call or text. After I get her room #, the ringer goes back off. She keeps me on my toes. Lol
....then ask for screening/rates/rules etc.....i like to confirm a few hrs before and wait for her confirmation after
I see are on p411, that's where all of the communication concerning scheduling of 1st time dates takes place.
For subsequent scheduling of dates with the same provider, I'll use p411 or text depending on which provider I'm wanting to see at that time.
On day of date, I will always text in the morning for location and for room # when I park.
switch to text for location details on the day of the appointment.
What about true independents that are on P411?
Not sure what difference it makes.
trolling my responses like he's been doing for a few months.
Who are you talking about?
Which one?
How many?
Hint: You are wrong!
My preference *new client* I've never met:
1. Booking Form: I'm a bit "Type A" when it comes to the information. By filling out the booking form, then information is clear, organized, etc. In addition, I have an "intro" field in my booking form where someone can write out a bit more about them if they would like
2. Email - I am moving away from messaging on third party platforms like P411 and TER. It's not as secure.
3. Text - When I do decide to put a number up, it's text only and even then there is an auto responder to cut down on time-wasters.
Returning Client:
1. Text
2. Email
In regards to communication before the date, I normally check in 24H before to confirm and send general directions to a location near my incall either via email or text (this is determined by the client). The day of, communication is by text if possible as it's more efficient.

Your first review is dated 2009!
That said, a good provider posts HER preferred communication method in her ad/website. If the client has other preferences, let him ask, but since you're the one getting many inquiries, make it easy for you to be responsive.
Once an appointment is agreed upon, suggest a confirmation. Most guys will agree. It makes everyone involved more comfortable.
Ps. Time to update your TER profile age?
But HIGHLY unlikely. lol
Her first review was just over12 years ago in May of 2009, if she were 18 at the time she would still be only 30 today, so it's still "possible" that her TER profile is correct.
What is completely IMPOSSIBLE is that she is 24 like her ad claims.
BTW did you see her first two reviews from back then. Two reviews with scores of 6/2 are not a great way to start, but somehow she is still here. I do see why she is posting threADs, but somehow I doubt even a hundred threads are going to make up for her rather lackluster review history.
honestly, as a Provider....I believe that you should communicate through phone (Text or Calls). So, that you can confirm that you & the Provider both understand what is going on.
Look it doesn't matter how the client schedules an appointments with a Provider. Just give them that option. Either way you can confirm have them confirm in multiple ways. Don't stress over that.
Presumably you are contacting someone whose contact info you saw on their web site or a review site or an ad site. The contact method is revealed there. Pretty simple.
Varies, but most of the ladies I have seen recently, for the first time anyway, prefer that you use their contact form. That said, the lady I reached out to for an upcoming dinner date uses P411 (I'm not a member), so I emailed her with all the requisite information. It's been 36 hours, no reply. Sure, we're all busy, but 48 hours is my limit, if no reply by then, I'm contacting someone else.
A box of the right stuff I'm smoke will bring them and the law enforcement. But just put out sing no law enforcement allowed.
Call the provider on the number that she provided and if she doesn't answer right away, then leave a voicemail stating that you want to get together with her. And don't forget to provide your name, phone # and the best time for her to call you (If needed tell her why). Most providers are understanding.
and a confirmation a few hours before.
I do text only. Maybe that is because I am a "vetted" guy with several local agencies. I text for a booking, and get a reply confirmation. Then get a text with address and apartment code. This has worked well for several years.
For a new agency, I text the contacts of my other agency, and they will be a reference for me. But the existing agencies have a great group of gals, so I rarely need to do this.
I also get the personal phone number of a favorite if she is leaving town, then she texts me when returning. (so I am a "regular". 
Needless to say, I have a burner phone that is untraceable and separate from my real phone.
