They never get your number so there is really no reason to do that. It calls them and the number that shows up is Streamate.

I think you need to disable the number highlighting:

I stopped doing phone because it won't connect half the time and it really disrupts the show when that happens.
Every time I stop my show I have to reselect that I offer phone. Is there any way I can make it so it is just always selected? Because half the time I forget to reselect it..
^^ That has to be a glitch, try a diff browser.
I have added my phone and SM said they "turned it on" from their end but apparently the guys still can't call me? Any ideas?
OK. I had a voicemail from a guys answering machine last week. So somehow he got my voicemail ( which says you have reached 555-555-5555). WTF!!!!!!! But he didn't leave a message personally. We were in a phone chat session and when he left it hung up and I had to hit the end call on the computer. So not cool if he got my #. So I changed my outgoing to just silence and then beep. THIS is what I was trying to avoid. You'll be reading about me in the paper if some asshole shows up thinking I might find him cute. I will read: man gets head blown off by cam model.
I offer phone, because, not sure, but I think it affects placement. I like the fact that guys will stay in prvt. longer trying to get the damn thing to work! More $$$$
I offer phone in exclusive only. But I charge the same amount for exclusive as I do for private. I found out that you cannot use T-Mobile PrePaid with Streamate. T-Mobile spent hours trying to convince me that they do not block the number but they lie and they wasted three months of my life lying to me. I now use TracFone, pay by the minute with a double minutes phone. Works perfectly.
I offer phone in exclusive only. And my exclusive rate is $1 more then my private rate.
So I totally apologize for the possibly annoying revival of a long-dead thread, but I had a question that seemed best suited for here. I just got approved to start streaming on streamate, and have been looking around the threads and I noticed that someone mentioned it being a bad idea to use smartphones for the streamate phone feature. I couldn't find any more info on this but I was wondering if anyone could back this up or negate it? I would like to use that feature in my shows but I have no landline, just my iPhone 5s. Has anyone used the phone feature with an iPhone who can speak to whether or not this is a good idea?
I use my old blackberry! She survived a front loading washing machine cycle a year ago, so I'm keeping my ancient little warrior! LOL I do use phone, I also heard it helps placement, but I'm not sure about that. I've only had problems a few times where it disconnected right when I answered. I hate that for the customer! As I say, "they can put a man on the moon...." I like the phone too. ONLY in exclusive tho. Those guys are regulars now and some of my longest exclusives are over the phone. Sometimes the delay if way off, but I've no complaints. I do wondere if SM listens in? hmmmm
I've always used a smartphone and it hasn't caused any issues. I'm guessing that the reason for preferring a landline is that it's less likely to drop calls, but you should be fine as long as you have good cell service in your house.
