What is the emerging best way to contact WGs - have you noted a trend?

[simon07]

Hi folks
Been frustrated at no response to emails to some WGs I was interested in.
Ring a WG mostly never works and I do not bother leaving a voicemail.
Sent texts and no response though some WGs may get lots (I doubt hundreds) a day?
So just sent a WhatsApp and fell off my chair with the immediate response.

Is WhatsApp the new way forward and why is it so?
Is this your preferred method guys?

Whatever the preferred contact method of the escort I want to see is.

Exactly. They tell you how they want to be communicated with. Not hard.

op - you seem to like starting new threads and most of them are pretty silly and like this one, pretty obvious!

Yep

Smoke signals, but it's got to be a clear day, no use when it foggy.

I prefer whatsapo because its free. Maybe wg do toi for same reason. Pay as you go is expensive to text back now etc

[Dylanbob]

I used to call mostly back in the day.

These days I find a well worded to the point polite text asking how they are is all you need

[simon07]

Thanks guys, these are good tips

I am under the impression most contracts and PAYG come with huge bundles of free sms texts, I may be wrong but that's been my experience with the tariffs or bundles I choose.

I prefer sms text because I find WA slow to open, and another app with notifications whereas sms text is just there.

You will find that in poor signal areas SMS msgs normally get through and are quicker than Whatsupdoc.

Had a situation a while back where both my reg and i (who are on the same provider) had a local 4G outage so Whatsupdoc
messages did not work.  Fortunately SMS did.

Correct living in and travelling into areas of poor signal I am very aware of this issue.

Exactly this Ruth

Also with WhatsApp I find a high percentage of guys who use it as first contact turn out to be timewasters or have multiple reports, they are often the picture beggers or the ones who send you unsolicited pictures.

I keep all correspondence even if I don't save the number, that way when someone contacts me I can see if they have contacted me before and I can see what that communication was like, what we discussed or agreed etc, with WhatsApp you can now do disappearing messages so the conversation when I go back to it is blank, which is an issue.

Add to that poor signal etc and it's my least favourite method of contact.

If a punter err client used their preferred method of contact and not the method of contact you have stated on your profile as what you prefer would that not lead you to believe they hadn't read your profile or even chosen to ignore what it contains. 

Surely it's the same as services, the punter oops sorry again client, should find an escort who accepts the method of contact he wishes to use in the same way he finds one who offers the services he requires and not expect them to change to suit him?

Very true Davie it would and he should...

I do however accept WhatsApp and state so on my profile as I like to give clients a choice, I just find WhatsApp harder work in general but it does do some of the filtering for me 

I've had a punter.....I mean client this morning texting in text speak asking where I live, I asked if he had read my profile so he knew if he could get to my incall or just number grabbed, he replied he would travel anywhere to fuck me, I directed him to nasa to catch a flight to the moon, some never read a profile let alone observe a preferred contact method

For a few years I stated I wouldn't accept sms text from anyone I had not yet had at least one booking with. During this period I would receive 'I know you don't accept texts but I'm a genuine, respectful, gentleman....'

I mostly ignore profiles that ask for contact through whatsapp, as I don't use it and don't intend to start.

If I was keen, and the profile didn't explicitly say whatsapp only, I'd probably text and do what wound Ruth up, sayI know you prefer whattsapp but it's not an option for me. I wouldn't particularly expect a response though.

As everyone else has said, whatever the SP has stated as a preferred contact method. If it's not stated and a number is listed I would normally text first, call if it was short notice. For advance bookings email works great. It really all just depends on the situation.

It didn't necessarily wind me up, just found it interesting because of the contradiction. Could also be a double-bluff as I'm sure other SPs will agree being able to type or say the words 'I'm genuine, respectable, gentleman reliable' doesn't mean a person is any of these things, and I also hear and read can be the same the other way around too e.g. punters can have similar experiences.

[big-al93]

Absoloutely, I am automatically suspicious when I see lines like, "My photos are 100% real, please do not ask if they are genuine"

Of course the photos are real love, now who did you steal them from?

Sorry was maybe projecting a little, it would wind me up a little if people used a contact method I explicitly asked them not to. If they push that boundary, what other more important ones will they think doesn't apply to them?

[scutty brown]

Judging from the number of girls who get comms wrong, or try to tell you what services you really want (as opposed to what you asked for) I'm convinced a lot of them rely on ESP or PSI power

[nuckingfuts]

Whatever medium the SP chooses, and I prefer using full sentences without abbreviations or slang.

Just my preference

[fatboy]

Agree with a lot of this but as an honest client, er no......customer......no....ah....punter i do find that a lot
of girls do not specify their favoured method of contact.
I try to avoid these and be clear in my messages but i know i am fighting to be heard against
all the other incoming messages especially these days when people can take offence at the most innocuous words.
Its difficult being a punter, client, customer these days haha.

The big advantage of WhatsApp is that you can usually see if the girl has received your message.  And when she last looked at her account. Giving you a good idea of whether or not you are likely to get a reply.  Whereas with SMS, you have no idea if her phone is even turned on, you could be whistling in the wind.

[simon07]

I agree and when I do email, I can see if the WG has read my ‘sent email’.

Lot of the English ladies reply to emails, hardly any Romanians, Thais and Brazilian ladies. This is from my personal experience.

[pantywetter]

I use SMS via Hushed.  I don’t have a punting phone and WhatsApp would disclose my name and number so I have to stick with the current method.

Only if they have their Read receipts set on in their privacy settings. Otherwise it will only show the message has been received, it will also not tell you if/when she looked at her account.

But yes, if none of the privacy setting are on WhatsApp is better than SMS.

Being a spur of the moment sort of person. I phone, and if no answer, I go to pan B and phone someone else.
