There's been plenty of threads/posts on this topic over the years, and while I can totally understand the reasons why many out there feel the need to have a punting phone or sim, I still feel that for me personally, I don't need one. If or when certain things change, then perhaps (or probably) yes, I WILL eventually get one, but as a single guy with no family and not in any way a public figure or someone who would be worth the effort for someone to attempt to blackmail if they had my personal information, I don't feel the need for one.
If the law about esecorting changes in a way that criminalises punters, then ABSOLUTELY, I'd be out getting a punting phone/sim immediately, but until that or something else changes, I think I'm fine as I am.
The other thing I always think about on this, especially for those who are married or in cohabitating and/or long-term relationships, is the whole issue of PRIVACY AND PERSONAL SPACE. Maybe it's simply the type of person that I am, or the type of women I've usually been in relationships with, but my phone is ABSOLUTELY OFF-LIMITS to others, and checking my texts and/or call history would be seen by me as an extreme violation of that privacy and personal space. Those boundaries should be in place, and that level of respect ought to be there anyway, in my honest opinion. Anyone, man or woman, who presumptuously thinks they have the right to keep tabs on you that way clearly has very little respect for you, and you should reassert your right to privacy no matter how much it may bother the other person.

No one uses my lab top and i don't store any history and i have a password. have the same phone for years and there are 5 digits to unlock it. i alway's keep my mobile on me. No fuss and as for the eye in the sky i don't give one fiddler's fuck.

Fair play there Madjack. With these standard types of security features for phones and pc's, along with simply taking the time to wipe the search and history records, there's no reason wny even the most intrusive and over-zealous of spouses or significant others should be able to find out anything potentially compromising about you-- and that's assuming that someone never set out those boundaries with their partner to begin with.
Then the key is to NEVER leave anything out in the open to be found! And we all should be deleting our browsing histories, old texts and call histories too, just as that extra precaution in case that day does come.
In my 6+ years of punting in Ireland, I have NEVER received an unsolicited text from an escort. I know there are some lads out there who claim that they have, but I still think it's rather rare. And EVEN IF I DID receive such a text, and even if it came at a highly inopportune time, it would STILL be no one else's business who texted me about what, and you could simply delete it straight off and say it was an unknown number, if your partner was right there with you. That would certainly be easier to deal with than her finding your 'extra' phone or sim, as there'd undoubtedly be some explaining for you to do then!
The reason i got a punting phone was, if meeting a girl for the first time there were numerous calls or texts before i was given the location and address.That was a problem if it were late at night as they would appear, one after another on the bill.
No problem where i am meeting a regular and i sometimes use my regular phone.
I have seen this written twice now and it absolutely astounds me that an escort would text a client,, I have a rule of play which is , I will respond to any text a regular client sends me as soon as I get is if I am able to,, If i don't read the text for some time after it has been sent I will not reply and wait for another later on just in case within the time of him sending it and me reading it, he may not be in a position to receive it privately, But I never ever under any circumstances text a client except to reply to his.

Indeed, that's actually something I really hadn't considered, the part about the call records appearing on your monthly statemwnt for those of you using bill-pay. I've always had pay-as-you-go phones, so it's never been something I've had to think about or deal with. But this is another great argument for having a separate punting phone if your main phone is on bill-pay, as you never know when the bill will arrive and if you'll be the one opening the letter!

Good post Amy. Over the years, this exact same policy has been used by many of the ladies who regularly post when doing this sort of thing. Most ladies have claimed that they NEVER (unless otherwise directly asked by specific clients to do so) send unsolicited texts to clients, regulars or otherwise. And when it comes to relying to texts, many have said that they have general policy of replying to a text within 30 min, as any longer than that is just a bit too long. If you were busy at the time when the call/text came in, and can reply within the 30 minute window, then ok, that's fine-- but longer than that and it's better to leave it; most regular punters know and understand that the ladies are busy, and if we're determined to see a specific lady, we'll ring her back again in awhile anyway!
