Author Topic: Dedicated punting phone or SIM  (Read 2780 times)

Offline socksfellan2

Occasionally a disgruntled punter would grumble that they got a text from a WG to visit at a discount and be shocked to see it. Like this fella who https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=149013.0 got a text from a girl from 2+ years ago!

Question, don't most here have a dedicated burner phone or sim just for this hobby? Allows you to cut ties really fast and easily (and keep things hidden from the missus)

Punting phone is a must. £10 phone from Tesco does the job.

I have a punting phone, but in emergencies I have a burner number from Hush....does the job

I never fail to be surprised at how many people here don't use a punting phone and end up in trouble. Like STI testing, it really is a must if you do this hobby.

For the cost as well. You can get a decent phone with whatsapp and the likes for £50 or less. Its tesco PAYG and I've topped it up one in 6 months. I've still got a £1s worth of credit on here.

My burner phone is an old samsung of mine and I mobile hotspot it to my main phone when I go to meet girls from SA. Its a slight hassle carrying two phones and can often spend the best part of 24 hours in a girls company, so can be a bit awkward shuffling phones around to charge without them figuring out. But so far all's gone swimmingly and even if asked will just say ones a work phone.

Im not even married or with someone. Its just to keep myself to myself and no one finding me through social media or similar.

Depends if you are going to be compromised by being spotted with another phone, in which case a second sim would be a better idea.

I have several punting phones and at any given time a number of different sims on the go. I have found that doing this, has its benefits.


The cost of doing this, was less than I spent on my last punt, 1 hour punt, this week and well worth the outlay IMO


 
Edit:

Different phones is much better, IMO and may help keep, this hobby separate.

punters vs professional vs personal, which in most cases isn't wise to mix.

A separate sim is ok but it's a pain when you replace sims since they ask you a lot of fucking questions in order to reset. Separate fone works for me but then I don't have a "better" half.    :hi:

My son asked me why I had 2 mobile `phones, so I told him that one was solely for my financial affairs - i.e. my bank and my stockbroker - and the other was for everything and everybody else.  He thought it was an excellent idea.

A PAYG punting phone costs as little as 20 to buy (with top-up) so why wouldn't you?

You never know when a WG might send you promotional texts at awkward times, harass you after a negative review, look you up on social network sites, or post your number on the internet. AW could get hacked, WG's phone could get stolen, etc. Even if you don't have any problems in your punting career, a punting phone still gives you peace of mind.

Ultimately, it's your choice what phone you will use for booking WGs.

In my world, if my other half found a second phone it would be seen as extremely suspicious.
Not worth the risk. So until recently I have been using my main phone. And yes, it has given me a few anxious moments. The most dramatic was when a WG replied to my text the following morning. I was in the shower, wife was in the kitchen, heard the text come in, but she didn't look at it. Lesson learnt.

I now have an excellent solution.
I have discovered an app called TextMe. It allocates you a completely clean new mobile number. You can call or text from that number using your main handset. No trace of the calls or texts on the phone. It is recorded within the app but you can easily delete it.  And then when you don't want replies at the wrong time you can switch off the connection. Job done.

I use a punting phone with a fake Facebook, instagram, twitter and snapchat set up. Comes in handy now and then for finding face pics of escorts.

obviously it's a must if you are married or punt a ton, but for me i'm single and only very occasionally do it, so cba really. Are there major risks i'm not thinking of?

For the small cost its worth it IMO. The phones linked here cost fuck all, even if its just for peace of mind.

There is the general hassle of someone getting in touch at a awkward moment and similar. Worse case is blackmail and a girl/pimp 'outing' you and/or blackmailing that they'll out you to family and friends on social media.

It also helps compartmentalize even as a single bloke, that phone isn't real life as such.

Offline Marmalade

This question keeps doing the rounds. A 'most guys on here' answer isn't what an individual punter may need. Everyone's circumstances are a bit different. Read the threads, understand the dangers, the benefits. Think about your own personal situation. What could go wrong. How much you stand to lose.

I use my main phone and block their numbers. They can send texts but I won't receive them and they won't be aware. Obviously not infallible if they try and contact me from a different number but this game is does have its risks.

Thanks also form me; I've just made my first booking in 3 years by using the number from TextMe. Be sure to Log Out when not in use, or at very least disable Notifications.

I had a punting phone. An old Nokia, but it broke, so I just bought a PAYG sim for my smartphone.

In many ways I think carrying round an old mobile could potentially cause more suspicion, but each to own as long as you stay safe. :hi:

Offline Sir Lance-a-lot

You have to consider that a fair number of WG's are somewhat mental.

Even if you're single, do you really want everyone to know?  And even if you really don't care, there are other hazards.  A bogus rape allegation.  A claim for child support - condoms aren't 100% effective.  And so on.

Textme - very interesting, just downloaded it to iPhone...
BUT the person you send the text to must be in your contacts, that's where the problem is ?

Anybody found an easy solution to that ?

(And 100 text me credits for £1.99, what does it mean when it says "and these credits won't expire" ?)

Yes I can agree that some WG are fucking mental I too would advise it, unless you want your number publicly shared on twitter... I've ordered a new sim..

Offline Jeff_withpetersen

Phones are so cheap that I definitely recommend a punting phone rather than the hassle of changing SIMS UNLESS of course two phones would arouse suspicion. Due to my work I actually have four phones and three laptops so the presence of my punting phone in among all that doesn't raise any eyebrow in my house haha.

as a note, Giff Gaff is a network that requires minimal registration details if you want to be even further untraceable. Its popular with drug dealers for this very reason.

Three require 0 details.

Buy a sim card and top up with ca$h and then bin as required!

While I don't advocate anyone being careless with their details or using their main phone for punting, I don't see a dodgy WG getting very far with bogus rape/child support claims.

Keep a record of your comms somewhere (even if it's just on AW) and you can prove the WG accepted/took your booking. If she claims you attacked her once inside the room, it's your word against hers and the case will likely be dropped if she has no evidence of violence. The WG will certainly be blacklisted and lose out on business. Also if the WG wanted to make a false rape claim, she wouldn't need your name/details. She would only need a description of what you look like and where she met you.

OTOH every punter should have a separate number for contacting WGs. The more likely scenario even for single men is having a WG harass you with threats or demands to remove reviews or WGs stalking your online social media.

Offline Marmalade

I think every punter should consider all the possibilities and be aware of how dangerous some prossies can be. There's good and bad points on almost anything though. A punter has to look at both his individual situation and also personal judgment (though it is very hard to make broad judgments about prossies as they are almost 100% liars to one degree or another).

Yo take one example from this thread. If you book through AW you only have a record of the booking if she confirms it online. It also means she has your AW identity if she then wishes to blacklist you for something you haven't done or a review she associated with you, or even a review you left for someone she knows. On the other hand it can be a useful record of who you've shagged (as can hotlists until they change their profiles completely) and also a way of getting them to leave you positive AW feedback that might be required by other prossies you wish to fuck. So most things ultimately come down to a judgment call ...

You can easily text someone not in your contacts. Just type in the number that you are sending to.
I use it all the time without a problem.
I wouldn't dream of putting a WG in my contacts list.

Important- don't forget to logout every time.
