Private-Unknown Numbers?

Hotels Block Numbers

 

I hardly ever respond to blocked numbers for the reasons others have stated. For hotel calls, I prefer to confirm on the hotel phone & am usually, though not always, put through with a 1st name. If the client only wants to give his 1st name, he can also call reception to say that he is expecting a call. However, if contact by hotel phone is problematic, & the hotel is not too distant, I will usually go ahead with an outcall confirmed by cell.

 

One legitimate reason for blocked numbers, that both clients & escorts should be aware of, is that some hotel phones automatically block their number. For instance all 5 star hotels in London do this. Some clients still use hotel phones when they travel because of high roaming charges or phone/network incompatibility or simply because they've run out of juice. So they should be aware that the escort they are calling may be ignoring them because the hotel has blocked their number & that, if they leave their details, they may hear straight back from him.

That is true...luckily here in the states I have yet to come across a hotel who's number shows up private. From economy to 5 star ones. It may be due to the fact that many homes these days auto-block private calls (not that any of us use our home number). But there are still people from the older generation who use home phones more often.

 

Every once in awhile I'll answer a private call if Im bored or there's not much going on. I'll ask them to call back with a number that shows. They usually dont. Some people try to rationalize it by saying they "need to be discreet" but in these days of cheap pre-paid phones and the fact that I meet "discreet" people all the time makes it hard to buy that excuse. There's no reason to.

On the subject of blocked phone numbers, I love one feature of my Sanyo phone: I can set it to ring differently (or not ring at all) if the phone number is blocked. I know other phones can differentiate between numbers in their phone book versus those that aren't, but a Sanyo phone can treat a blocked number different than an unknown legit number. It's that simple little feature that keeps me from getting an Iphone. I think Samsung phones work the same. (Settings -> Sounds -> Ringer Type -> Voice Calls -> With Caller ID [or] No Caller ID.) If someone knows a way to make an Iphone do this, let me know and I'll consider the switch.

 

As long as I'm digressing, Sprint did something interesting this week. They now offer free unlimited calling to/from any cell phone, whether on Sprint or any other network. So calls to an AT&T or Verizon phone no longer eat up my minutes. I suspect that's their response to declining market share, but works for me! For $70 they offer 450 minutes (but again, that's only calls to/from landline phones), unlimited texts (which I continue to hate regardless), and nights beginning at 7pm, if anybody cares. Since I'm already with them I didn't have to enter a new contract. I'm happy with all this.
