Re: Streamate Phone Service
sometimes it cancels on it's own.. and other times .. just hang your phone up and click on end call on the site.
Re: Streamate Phone Service
When I had it, I would just hang up. Too many guys will take advantage if they know they can still talk to you on the phone while not in video and paying! LOL As soon as they leave video, they are gone off the phone too!
The thing is, with SM, you have to really be careful and be sure to NOT to miss a call! The minute you do, they disable your phone icon and ability. I have been bugging them for 6 mos to turn my phone option back on! They don't even reply to me. Oh well. I just give the guys my Google Voice number.
Re: Streamate Phone Service
REALLY?? I didn't know that! I dont miss calls except for once I forgot my kids were on the phone and the guy was calling me.. and i forgot i had phone turned on.

Re: Streamate Phone Service
I think one guy wanted me to keep on talking to him after he left. He was like "Are you still there?" I look up and see he just left the chatroom! So I just hung up... lol
Re: Streamate Phone Service
Nope, as far as I know they see an 800 number like the one that calls us to connect us. Plus, I haven't had any guys call my actual phone.

Re: Streamate Phone Service
Do you also hear the "Please wait while we connect your call" or something like that? I thought it was my cell provider meaning I'm making the call... or is it?? lol
Re: Streamate Phone Service
Yeah, I hear it too. First time i did it I was confused expecting the guy to be on the other line already lol. Hmm, that's an interesting question tho.. I don't think its our cell phone provider. I want to say it's SM's own little operator.
Re: Streamate Phone Service
I just hang up!!! There are some guys that try to squeeze out free time by logging out of chat and staying on the line...I hang up the INSTANT they log off...mid-sentence if need be. You get no freebies from me!!!

If Streamate staff catch you doing that they will suspend and/or ban you. They go ballistic if they find you giving any contact information to viewers including google voice.
Sometimes I email them both from the console Support tab and the email address with a duplicate message and will get an answer that way.
Re: Streamate Phone Service
NO NO I use my land line for SM.. not your cell phone provider

Re: Streamate Phone Service
as soon as i hear that they have left the video part of sm, i hang the phone up. they can't see you so they will just think the phone disconnected via sm.
Re: Streamate Phone Service
That happens to me all the time. They leave the private and I am still on the phone with them and I just hang up. I use my cell phone maybe I should just use my landline.Does anyone use a headset and if so what kind? Sometimes for a long private I need my hands free.

I don't have a land line....funnily enough, very few people I know do!! I think that they are becoming increasingly obsolete...
Threadjack! LOL
Re: Streamate Phone Service
Yeah my landline I don't even answer... but it's free anyways :) I just have it for long convo's or long distance really.

Nice that you have it for free!!! How'd you wangle that one? LOL
Re: Streamate Phone Service
Hehe, well if you're in Canada, (actually you are!) I use this as my service, it's VOIP based so it uses the internet to deliver the phone service. Basically I paid $50 (almost 3 years ago) to get the "account settings service" to use on my VOIP little box thingy. So after the $50, I don't have to pay anything and it's great so far! It's free within Canada to most places and if you want to call LD it's cheap as well, so I use it if I need to call non-local and also oversea numbers. Since you know cell plans in Canada SUCK, calling anywhere cost $92359235
Re: Streamate Phone Service
@LittleKatie @HeyLex Yes, it's Streamate's system, "Please hold while we try to connect your call" It's a call relay. You mark that you're available, then he requests the phone by entering in his number (if he doesn't already have it saved) and then hitting call. The system calls you to make sure that you're available. Once you've picked up it knows you're available and then calls him back.
Benefits:
He doesn't have your number and can't call you at all hours of the day
The number that calls through to you and to him is frequently (I don't know specifically in SM's case) a blocked number. That way, if his wife is reading the phone bills it doesn't show up as a sex line or as "streamate.com". If it's not a blocked number, it's a random 800 number that doesn't do anything if you call it yourself.
There are no long distance charges or problems with international calling.
Unless you want his contact phone for some reason, make sure to tell him this when he asks you to just give him your number.
Re: Streamate Phone Service
Re how to make the call end just hang up your phone and hit "end call" on the SM screen where it says, "you are currently in a call with..." If you don't end call on the screen before you go back to free chat it sometimes effs up and ruins your ability to use the system for the rest of the night.
Like has been mentioned before, they're still connected by phone when the excl on the screen ends, so they could chat to you as long as you let them. I don't know what would happen if you got another excl and that person tried to call through.
After I learned this and found that some guys would try and keep going by phone even though I wasn't getting paid I'd just stop talking and hang up. I have this tendency to pretend that the system cut off the call, stopping whatever I was doing immediately, even shutting up mid-word with a little sound. I don't even do it on purpose, I hear the door shut sound and show is over like a good little trained slut monkey. I recently realized that my little ruse is totally transparent though.
"Oh yeahhhh! Fuck me fuck me fuck me! Your cock is so ha-"
*door shut sound*
I immediately go silent, stopping all moans and dirty talk, rip off the head set, reach for the phone and hang up while doing the rest of the 30 second panty scramble. Yet in the moments after the door shuts and before the phone hangs up....my music is still playing.

lmfao! i wonder if they know we hang up on them?
and thanks! i keep forgetting to disconnect the phone call thru the computer as well! i hang up and do the 30 sec scramble but dont end the call via SM and i think its prevented some other exculsives from calling me since my phone line would be tied up. oh well.. might have to put a sticky on the screen to remember.
Re: Streamate Phone Service
My phone option has been grayed out for 3 months. I haven't been able to use it Anyone had this problem before ?
Re: Streamate Phone Service
It is grey until you really are logged in, maybe that is the problem?

If you can't click on it, just write to support and they will re-set it. I have had to do that a few times.

If it's your cell phone, can't you just use a bluetooth for that? I mean, since it's not tied into SM's audio, just the phone, that should be fine. Just answer the call on your headset instead of your phone so you don't have to scramble.
