good afternoon all,

Email works too and I've never communicated through the provider's website form.

When I schedule with a provider I prefer to communicate by email.  I don't need text because they can come at the wrong times.  Confirmation by email a few hours before or the morning of works well also.  

Almost every lady I have seen is on P411. I usually send an intro DM there first to introduce myself and inquire about screening.

Every phone-only experience I had was on BP, and that was a hit or miss, miss, miss proposition.

“it’s up to her”.

...Phone call only if necessary..

....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.

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.

switch to text for location details on the day of the appointment.  

What about true independents that are on P411?

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.

Not sure what difference it makes.

My preference *new client* I've never met:

trolling my responses like he's been doing for a few months.  

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.  

Who are you talking about?
Which one?
How many?

Your first review is dated 2009!

But HIGHLY unlikely. lol

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.
