Re: www.phone-actress.com
I worked for them for a while. They are easy to get along with. At the time I worked for them, they did not have a weekly minimum # of hours, but did want you to sign in at least once a week for a few minutes. They paid up to 30 cents per minute of talk time, and I usually made 25 cents. 30 is really hard to do. They also go easy on your hangups. If some guy calls and does not like the sound of your voice, and hangs up withing the first 60 seconds, they do not count that against your average time. Pay rate is figured on your average call length and your # of hangups.
The way it works is, you call their main computer, and the alls also come int to that computer, so the custy never knows where you are or anything about you or your number or anything. You just stay on the phone and keep the line open and the calls come to you. They are almost always busy. I never wasted a bunch of time doing nothing.
Once you sign up, you can look at the web site and see all your statistics. I never had a problem getting paid. They mail a check every week or two weeks. They send a 1022 at the end of the year.
Now that you mention it, I think I will give them a call, too.

Hey, can you send me too? :) Thinking about doing this for a bit. Never done it either.
Re: www.phone-actress.com
Wow if you never done it before. I would say go with DITA. She is a great company, and if you have any taboos they will take a note on the taboos you have and send the call to another girl. It's not a very fast paced co. but will get you some extra money (more if you are like many ladies and work for her 24/7)
and your feet wet.
Many companies today will not keep ops if they don't have experience, and many are now asking for a reference or two.
Be honest. Never say 'i have a sexy voice.' They HATE that...we all have a sexy voice in phone sex land.
Dita, lipservice, (Stephen the owner) KT communications and Gemini Audio Text are good places to learn the job. KT will take you and throw calls your way by machine, (Gemini has live dispatch) and you just take the call. Pay is low on KT...but for 1 week you will see how nasty some calls get. Pretty hardcore, talking about little kids and shit.
And you have taboo companies as well. USI (Universal Telecommunications, sp) is one...keep an average hold time of 13 minutes a week with these calls and you will do good. I know a couple ladies who make around $600 weekly. Sign on early and get a bonus etc. Lots of wankers. They will bring down your average.
But Peggy is a great person.
Let me know what job out there from and sound great to you.
I will let you know the Reputation of the company. I don't care what other pso's say about the company..this business has a HUGE turn-over. If the company has been around, and pays, your good to go. Other than that, a good company will not bother you.
Too many ops are giving GREAT companies bad names. Hey i was let go of a company i worked for for SIX years...i have nothing bad to say, i went to Europe and it was my fault. Too many issues came my way, and i stopped working...so they let me go! Good. I deserved it.
Now i have my head screwed on right again and working uslove. I adore Zack and His wife..as well as the dispatchers!
I am now slowing my pace down...but if they could tell you they would, i make over $1,000 weekly!!! NO SHIT! And that IS do-able with other companies as well, for mainly chit chat shit...;)
It's about getting with the right comany for you.
Check out the companies i mentioned, they are listed on adult staffing.
And see what you think.
And, i did work for Siren phone sex, everyone said they never recieved a check...well i could not have been the ONLY lady getting paid. And when i check out her site, same ladies for years are signed on. She has her own sites...many now, but uses Keen as a platform to pull in many customers. She knows how to market!

Btw, what should you say to get the job, (on an application or if you call them)?

Calling a company is always a good idea. Just ask for the owner or person who is doing the hiring. You may get an interview right there. I have years ago. Or a dispatcher will send you to a persons voicemail.
When leaving a message say you are very interested in the company. Also you NEED to work, and take the job very serious. You are also a team player, with a call back number and your name. No other info. should be given out on the machine.
Apps. are easy as they ask you what to fill in. Don't lie, be honest. If you can't do 40 hours don't say you can. Also tell any companies you worked for doing phone if you have, and be honest, many ladies quit due to shifts etc.
If they want experience, have it!!!! That is a biggie. EVERY company that runs pso's monitors them, i don't care what they say...they are allowed because of the nature of this business. You do not have to be told you are being recorded...because you are probably not. You have a "spotter" listening in. *sorry got lost here*
JUst be honest with the application. And fill out many that sound good to you. YOU get to pick what co. you want to go with if you get replies to them all!!!!
Match the hours to you, know your taboo's if any. And do the job. AS with some companies it can be slow to start...or busy. The new chick on the block always gets her cherry popped by many customers to see how good you are! Or if it's that slow to start with a company...stick with it for 3 months. You should be comfortable by then with a steady clientel. If it's still slow....LEAVE.
At least that was always my rule. 3 months is plenty of time to see if your moving up.
NEVER say you have a HOT voice....even customers HATE to hear the word hot in phone sex. Better to drop that over used word imo.
Good luck!
Re: www.phone-actress.com
Thnx, dahling! So, do I be honest & say I have no experience, tho? I have worked for an adult product company, (phone order center, placing credit card orders) not exactly the same, but I did get lots of ppl wanting 'the talk'.
Re: www.phone-actress.com
That guy at Lip Service is a fucking asshole. Just a heads up.

Stephen has been called worse. It's all a matter of this first: Ladies get a contract, and DON'T READ IT...so they call him with a question that is already answered on the contract if it's READ thoroughly!
Second: He is VERY good frend of mine, and ladies NEED to do their damn job and leave him alone. ALL BUSINESS with Stephen.
One "former" pso starts shit on an old board and many start coming out doing the same...Wow....that's smart! ::)
With Stephen if he talks in a loud tone....girls cry, girls quit and say he's an ass. The job takes ALOT of backbone. Hell at least he pays, and pays WELL, so if he gets loud or tired of a pso's same old questions over and over, it's not the job for these ladies.
I then suggest getting a min. wage job out in the world. And NO, Stephen is not an ass...Don't run from a good paying job because others talk shit about him.

Yes be honest! Many want to take you on 'fresh' too. You are not jaded...YET! :) They will help you through many calls!
Re: www.phone-actress.com
Whatever. I read the damn thing twice, asked for clarification on a vague topic, and got a bitchy little remark in a patronizing tone. Maybe I just got him on a bad day, but he was rude, and I didn't appreciate it.

A contract question? That is what it always is. He wants ladies who can read and understand what the contract is about! If a pso can't read and understand, he figures as would most how the hell is she going to do the job which is tougher yet!!!!
Not saying this about you...But it's always his contracts that ladies call and ask a question about get pissed because the answer is there, and they call him names. ::)
Again this is not about you. But about MANY.
How did i know.
Re: www.phone-actress.com
Maybe he gets so many questions because the contract is vague.

Well, i have all his contracts...not much of a change since 2001 actually.
If there is an area where you don't understand, i can answer it for you.
Believe me...there are worse i know that. I did work for Stephen and left only due to throat problems...almost went back, but did not want to be a burden if it happened again, so i just took a break from phone and danced at that time in my life.
Vague...hmmm ok.
