Store the SIM card away from the phone.  If the phone is ever found, it will not work.  Also easy to explain as an old phone that no longer works and you have forgotten to take to recycling.  

right on through the date. No phone number given out at all. Both of those were strictly outgirl girls though, so it was a matter of the client emailing them the address, not the other way around. That would be harder with incall girls to give out the room number last minute via email. But it would be possible since most folks have smart phones now.

Anyway, I am not disagreeing with your post HV, and hobby phones are a good idea and recommended for most folks. Also agree that most ladies even if they are email only, will use the phone at the last minute for room number info. The cases I mentioned were obviously exceptions and not the rule, but I just was pointing out that it does exist.

I havent but alot of ladies do...If you get on let me know i would like to know how its even set up for discretion, if at all possible..lol

I use Google Voice for my normal phone. It's pretty simple - they give you a phone number and voicemail and a bunch of other features that you won't use if it's a hobby line. Voicemail gets transcribed (automatically, of course) and can be sent to your email if you want. You can only call out from a computer, but you can get calls in on that number if you connect it to a normal phone. That setup can be turned on and off, but I wouldn't risk forgetting with a hobby line.

If you have a mic and headset, this is a decent way to set up a hobby line. Just make sure to create a new Google account, don't use your current one.

It can be tied to any email account, and a fake name, but if you want it to work on your smart phone, you will have to give them your phone number. (which probably could be traced back to you if someone really really wanted to)

I was one that never used a hobby phone. I always advise on the newbie board for people to get  a hobby phone, but I never did get one myself. Since I am single, and self employed, I dont really have worries aobut the shit hitting the fan if I am "outed." so I never really worried about a hobby phone or giving out my real number to ladies. Also I have been hobbying since the days when we gave out our real landline numbers. LOL However after rading about some bsc providers, and after getting some group texts from providers, I decided maybe its time for a hobby phone, but decided to just get google voice instead.

It works fine. I use it now for meeting new ladies, but all my old regulars have my real number. Anyway, I can send and receive texts, and send and receive calls. The google voice number is what will show up on their caller ID. I dont need to carry two phones. It is tied to a hobby gmail account. You can turn off the alerts so you dont get a google voice call or test unless you sign into google voice, or you can leave it on, and calls and texts will come thorugh like regular calls and texts, but you will know it is coming form the google voice number.

to collect on me - voicemail transcripts. Now if that's not the case, I'd try using the service again!

You want to be able to receive calls. That tie-in links you.

All I did was use my last phone number which was not a contract, and then cancelled it. Now, I have google voice with gmail plug in. You can ONLY make calls from your PC this way, though...no phone needed. You can answer calls simply by opening your gmail window on the account that has the plug in downloaded.
