Re: Streamate Phone Service
ok add on question..cos i haven't enabled my phone on streammate...
ok how does that work?
Do they get my actual number or just a rerouting number?
And should I be using my land line or my cell?
It'd actually be easier to go thru my cell in reality...
ALSO: how do i set up when people can call?
Like only in exclusive for example?
ALSO..if you feel like redirecting me somewhere I can find these answers that's also cool =p

I do only exclusive but you can do it in grp if you like (I find it makes guys leave when they see me on the phone with another viewer tho.
No numbers are exchanged. It just connects them to your phone, it rings and they never see your number and you never see theirs. Hang up as soon as they leave your video since it sometimes will stay connected for a bit.
Just add your # in your sm profile control panel there and that's all you need!

You can write in your profile that you only take calls in exclusive. Then you can verbally let customers know when they're in your room. Also, you can enable and disable it on your main profile page. However, you cannot set it to only take calls in exclusive.
You can reject the call if they try to call in premium chat, or you can kick them out, or however else you decide to handle that. Some girls take tips to take the call in regular private. Some girls take a tip to take the call in exclusive even. And some girls will only take a call in an exclusive block session.
It's up to you :)

We can set it to where we only take calls in exclusive now. They changed that a few months ago. Copied and pasted from the "News" page...
F. Ability to set phone to Exclusive only (not pictured) – We’ve modified the control for the Confidential Phone Service so it is automatically defaulted to be available in Exclusive only when activated. This way users know you have a phone available when viewing your bio or searching for the feature when you are in guest chat. You can opt to select it to be available in any type of paid session.
Re: Streamate Phone Service
That's great. Sorry Pepper. I don't really use phone anymore so I didn't read that part of SM's update. Thanks for clearing that up, Carmen.

Re: Streamate Phone Service
I know that this is an older thread but I felt it was more appropriate to ask here instead of starting a new one :-p
I only have a cellphone but my signal is CRAP. I have a super highspeed internet connection and I want to use Google Voice / some type of voip program to use my cellphone over my wifi signal so that I don't have to stand on a rock outside to get a signal but Google Voice states that it reserves the right to decline any call at any time from specific types of numbers. SO, I was wondering if anyone uses Google Voice on SM or if SM would be blocked by Google. I think the phone feature would make me a few extra bucks but I'm afraid of losing otherwise paying customers if they get their hearts set on a phone chat only to not be able to connect to me. (I get LOTS of phone requests).
Supplemental question, do any of you use your cellphone over wifi and if so, what client do you use if not Google?
Thanks, guys! :)

The phone feature doesn't work about half the time anyway (for me, at least). I lose a lot of shows because I say I offer phone, then for whatever dumbass f-you-streamate reason the call doesn't go through when the guy is in show and calling me.

Yeah it's often SM's fault, pisses me off.
but to answer the google voice question - it's been working for me with SM's phone system.

I thought that I was the only person that had major issues with the phone feature. If a guy gives his phone number out and says "just block it, *67 bb," do you do it?! I'm so paranoid that there is some weirdo technology that will get you past the block...but at the same I want to make a few more bucks! I usually just say that Streamate is watching more than Big Brother is and I'd get in trouble. And they respond with ending the session.
*ugh* I wish SM would get their shit together!
Re: Streamate Phone Service
I get guys saying "just block ur number, so i dont see it" crap, i doubt that is very safe, I dont have phone feature yet, im planning on setting my cell phone up with it because god damn everyyyy singgglee night i get asked about phone calls over 10 + times. I know it would make me more $$$ each night, and cuz i would say "only in EXCL bb " lol ;)

They can pay like $10 and are able to reverse look the number up - NOT safe!
Re: Streamate Phone Service
Well that freakin' sucks! I'll try it for a while I guess until I get sick of it :-p It's awesome that google voice will work though! SWEEeeeet.... :)
