				 How do you perfer to contact a provider 
 
			
			I am asking a very simple question cause I did get a hobby cell and I just burn through my minutes with back to back text msg. Timewasters asking for naked pics to prove if I am real. ( No I don't send these) I have my email My eccie you can pm me or my p411 account. So I am trying to figure out which is best .
 
 Email only or Hobby cell or both.

			You need a different plan with unlimited text on that phone. Most here will recommend Google voice instead anyway.
 Email, PM, or P411 is fine for first contact. It is a pain in the ass if that is your only contact though. I have had a couple sessions not happen because those methods were to slow and missed the time.

			My cell usually bings if i get a email or text but if I am at work I can not look at my cell till after my shift. Going to look at a diffrent plan also, I don't mind texting if I am not driving I dislike when people do it so I don't do it. I am sure we have been behind that butthead texting not paying attention.

			Jenn, I agree with getting an unlimited text plan. Also turn off the "bing" for your texts and just train yourself to check texts when you have the time. 
 I prefer text, in fact that is the only method I use to make contact with an occasional PM. I never call first and I almost never email (I can recall twice emailing in the past five years). It's just me.

			I like texting. That way if your dealing with Bubba the pimp its really hard to tell its him. Then when I get close to the location I like to text while driving to find out the hotel name & room number. Normally this is when you get put into a holding pattern or the provider finds she double booked or an appointment showed up early so you just wait. Now that it's 10-20 minutes past your scheduled time you get that world famous text... "Are You Here?". Ahhhhh there is nothing better than texting if you have a lot of time to waste. Me? I stopped that shit a long time ago. If the lady won't talk to me on the phone for just a moment I'M a NO GO! Also eliminates the Agencies, handlers, managers and Bubba's posing as providers about 99% of the time.   |

			Whatever she lists on her showcase as her preferred method of contact.  
 I have also adopted some of SL's policies, and have customized them to my liking.

			+1 for PM's, texts and calls show up on the phone bill, gtalk has this odd habit of emailing the contents of all the texts, so I end up spending time worrying if my cover is blown instead of enjoying just the blown part.

			Texting is the best way.  Voice call only before meeting up.  PMs only to break the ice.

			I follow SL's advice which he shared several months ago. If I can't talk with you on the phone for just a minute, why bother. Texting works fine for me after that.

			I have google voice but sometimes it is annoying because I can't get access when google acts up or 4g isn't working. Most of the time it works though.  I prefer texts or emails than phone calls. But that just me.

			I prefer PM or p411 for screening & verification purposes-but this doesn't have to be first contact if time restrictions are involved. But I like texting although I will NOT send pics. I'm ok with calls for those that need them. I realize some guys need voice verification.
