Phone Calls On SM - Is It Really Safe?
So, after being on SM for almost a month now I have gotten so many guys ask me if I do phone. I wanna offer it to increase my audience/pay, but how safe/confidential is it? I wouldn't want someone to find out my cell phone number (I don't have a land line and don't plan on getting one). Once I move into my apartment next week, I wanna be able to offer phone as well. Also, any advice for using the phone feature on SM? Thanks!

They use some type of program or something.. so there is a "middle man" that connects the both of you, but you dont get their number and they dont get yours. I havent offered phone in a while, so I forgot what it shows up as... but yeah the guys calling you wont see your number

I don't know much about it but I'm sure someone good enough at hacking could find out anything. My suggestion is why don't you get a cheap phone like on Virgin Mobile or Straight talk that offers unlimited minutes for phone calls. I'm pretty sure they have plans you can get a lot cheaper with no data or texting included so you aren't paying more for a phone than you're making. That way if you are that worried about someone getting your number then you can just change it with no harm done.

I use the feature and its fine. One of the phone numbers I had like, didn't allow the phone feature though. Same carrier and everything. Maybe it was the phone, actually.
Also, you may want to have a generic voicemail without your number/name because if you miss the call, sometimes it will connect him when it hits your voicemail because its an automated service that connects him when it hears someone talking.

I have another quick question about this, do you think offering phone as well increases your earnings?

Of course it does! Any time you offer more, more guys will bite. Think of all the "do you have phone bb?" guys you will lose if you don't do phone. I choose not to do it because hearing their voices is way too intimate for me...it's just not worth the extra money to be uncomfortable. Totally your choice.

I think I will wait until I up my rates until I offer phone then lol. I do PSO work too and now that you mention it, that is kinda creepy.
Re: Phone Calls On SM - Is It Really Safe?
I almost always offer phone only in exclusive whenever I'm online, although I only really use it maybe 2-3 times a week. Just last night I had it enabled like I always do but upon getting a request for it I ended up telling the guy I wasn't doing phone after all (just wasn't in the mood for the juggling of the phone and toying myself at the same time) he says okay. Comes back 20 minutes later and wants to do a 30 minute excl show with phone. I get into my "cam" mode and it actually wasn't bad. Just goes to show when I'm feeling lazy and not wanting to leave my comfort zone, sometimes it actually pays off.

You're so right. I've gotten so many requests for it and it's making me lose out on potential custies because I don't have it yet :/
Do you think that when you offer phone our exclusive price should go up?

That's totally up to you...but I raise my prices every time I offer more. If I did phone, I'd raise my exclusive another dollar at least.

Wow totally never even thought about this, thank you.
Re: Phone Calls On SM - Is It Really Safe?
^^ This. I have used the phone option (in exclusive), since day 1.
I've never had a problem. Just remember, as stated above, to not have your number mentioned if they reach voicemail.
It happens a lot, because just as they pop into the exclusive, they don't mention that are doing phone, and just as I click on their 'allow' cam option, phone rings, and it goes right to my vm.
