Most of the ladies I know will not call a guy back unless he says in his message that it is OK to do so.  Not every guy has a hobby phone and some are very careless about where they leave their cell phone when they are at home.

unless specified that it is okay to do so on the voicemail.If the guy does not leave a voicemail I would not return the call you never know who might pick up the phone and who needs that drama!When I did post my phone number some did not leave messages but emailed asking why I did not return their calls.I prefer to be discreet and I respect a guys privacy so if guys want a call back they need to specify.

There's probably more negative aspects than positive.

If someone doesn't leave any message...yet they want to find out about you or contact you....they'll either try again, use your web form, TER PM, or email.

Escorts have returned my call soon after I had reached their full mailbox. In a few cases, it has led to a good date. Trying quickly enough after the missed call makes it low risk. I agree that it's otherwise a bad idea. Of course, keeping your mailbox cleared out is the best approach.

While we try to remember to never have our hobby phones turned on when we shouldn't, sometimes we forget.  Ringing coming from a briefcase or other object can be difficult to explain.  I've taken to pulling the battery out of mine because the on button can get hit as it lays in the pocket of my briefcase.

Why bother?  They'll call back if they have something relevant to say.  

Hope all has been well!

I would suggest your message state "leave a message & time to call if you want a call back."  No message, no call.

If a guy is not expecting to leave a message, it may take him aback.  He can call back & leave a message or try again.  A lot of new guys, I was the same way...  have not figured out how to make the connection.
Frankly, I prefer email initially...  phone to confirm.  With email, neither must be available at the same instant.

I have gotten an immediate callback, less than 5 minutes, from a missed call. I think a quick callback is okay, if you want to, but otherwise, don't call. And it is surely safer and fine to never call back at all.

I always ask providers to text first before calling. When I am being screened I will give them the option to call within a certain time frame since I think they may like that control, but texting first is best. Otherwise, I pretty much never want to be called. Okay, on the 2 call if she is in the bathroom, it is fine to call me back and there are other special situations, but I do not want to be called, and I usually do not pick up

DON'T call back!!!!  If he doesn't leave you a message saying, 1) you can call me anytime, or 2) call me during specific hours that he gives you.  Otherwise, who knows what might happen?  IMHO, it isn't worth it for you, Molly.

Like the saying goes plenty of fish,If they want somethig Hi this is so and so ph no. get back to me,if not they will call back,and if not some one else will.

instructions as when he can be reached, do not return his call.

Guys without hobby phones could be put in an imbarrasing position if they are with family members when a provider calls.  

Guys with a hobby phone may keep it turned off unless they are expecting a call.

call if vm is left

To call or not to call

I have had some tell us up front they will not return a call unless she is expressly told it is OK. This saves evryone involved a lot of headache and embarrassment.

No call back unless it is requested.
