Viva street has a lot more talent these days

[Turtle1]

Having had shit luck on viva street in the past, I started using it again as I was tired of the same faces on AW.

I was shocked to discover how popular it has become and full of new faces. Bare in mind it's not exactly regulated and most are bait n switch or other scams.

Downside is that the few decent birds Iv come across seem to disappear as fast as they appear. Iv also noticed that a lot of ex AW profiles that had hidden feedback have appeared on viva street. I'm geussing it's cheaper to advertise there then adult work.

I'll be using it a lot more in 2017

I do know what you mean but I still have my reservations 

[Chuckman]

I agree but prefer to stick with AW as there's a greater chance of the profile being accurate.

I believe it's free for a SP to post an AW profile.
They make their money if the SP has a PG or movies.

This. If they're not on AW i can't help but assume they may have something to hide.

On Adultwork you have to pay each day to display your mobile number, and you pay to display the 'available today' sign. If you don't use those features all the time then Vivastreet is a hell of a lot more expensive, which is why I haven't bothered to advertise there.

I noticed a girl I had seen in the past that was shit and had built up AW neg feedback was using it after closing her AW account. I'm still dubious of the advertisers on it.

I don't know vivastreet and just been having a look.
Can anyone explain why I can't access the phone numbers or contact details on vivastreet.  The ladies come up but when click on contact doesn't let me. Any suggestions?  ( I'm accessing via mobile  phone)

And recall Admin extended the search to include vivastreet, so if we include the code number in the review, we can track them as well.

We can't trust viva street any more than we can AW.  But we can trust it when combined with UKP.

I am interested in Louis English's remarks on Viva Street-I have not used it but there seem to be some women who do use it who don’t use AW. Similarly with Backpage.

The reason this is important is that there is some interest in estimating the number of sex workers in the UK-and one way to do this is count the number of those who advertise-de-duplicating for those who advertise on several sites and adding in those who work for agencies, saunas flats etc.

 I just wonder how many of those who advertise on Viva street, Backpage etc do not have an AW profile-does anyone have any feel for what proportion that might be? So for instance if 20% of independent workers do not have an AW profile then the AW numbers would have to be increased by 20% to arrive at a more accurate estimate.

Possibly your phone

[suttonporksword]

in order of reliability I would rank in the following order

1st aw
2nd backpage
3rd vivastreet

that said I had my single worst (scammed my own fault) experience with a girl who had positive aw feedback so you never can tell!!!

[Knny]

Back page for east Midlands seem to be full of generic ads. 

[nigel4498]

I assumed Friday-ads would be something like viva street but I've actually had two good punts from this source.

Ahh ha yes it's my new punting phone ! That's why!  I have done the advised thing getting a regular punting phone .ok will look at settings or something.
