The work phone

November 26 2014

Often I get to the point where exchanging numbers is on the cards then I get...It's a work phone, so they can't actually communicate on it. Funnily enough, they can sit on RHP on it, they can delete texts if they really need to, hide their number if they want to call someone and really even if you have a work phone, who doesn't have a personal phone as well? It is such a cop out. So what excuses have you heard from people not wanting to exchange numbers?

    I do get this , but they should not be on RHP if they are not prepared to give a number. Reason is if you are on your way to a meeting, you need to contact if your running late etc. Plus you need to talk on the phone to a person before you meet them that is a golden rule of safety. I also like to give my safety net as in a girlfriend, numbers of guy who call and also where I am going to meet them. many people can use Kik now, or have another sims. I do have reservations sometimes, as I have had a few odd nasty texts from unknowns and also people calling late at night when I have specifically ask them not to or have told them text first, if i am free to talk I will let you know. Work phones are paid for by the company, my husband only has a work phone and they do not allow iphones for this reason. Some works phones are iphones but they are often given to different workers at times. the truth is if they are not going to give you a number, then they are just playing internet games. No phone NO fuck its pretty simple rule.

    Maybe they are cautious because some women don't know when to let go? Or they find it easier to disappear into the sunset after they have got want they wanted.... And you have no way of reaching them.

    Yes can be a conundrum! Only swap mobile with ladies I trust/ care for! That said there is VoIP phones too,harder to trace But if u don't trust you don't have much anyway lol xx

    personal or business. Just an old fashioned land line for me....and I dont give out my number till I have met someone. Drives some people nuts but I like it that way. I do call some for a chat, (blocking my number first). Its easy to meet up, again the old fashioned way, make a time and place to meet and just rock up.

    Don't have any issue giving out my number once I'm comfortable with someone, and don't have an issue with getting calls or texts at anytime. If I can't answer, I won't...just 'cos the phone's ringing don't mean I gotta pick it up.

    I don't give out my number until I've met someone... Happy to be on kik... Until I know you're real and not crazy... Sorry, just oh so cautious. I'm not married- just paranoid.

    Never heard of "work phone" one before... I would never ever in a million years hand out my work mobile number/s. If someone told me it was their work phone - I'd probably laugh and not believe them. When you don't hear from them for a while I bet the excuse would be The dog ate my work phone... Just like some politicians, I wonder if they claim it as a Tax deduction??? LOL! Foxy

    It is my main contact, day or night, just have it on silent and no blinking indicators when I am in meetings or otherwise not able to be disturbed.Yes, work pays for all calls/txts, so what if they are not business related ? How would they know ? A mobile number is just a number and I doubt any business would cross-reference dialled numbers with business contacts to check.I also have an app which secretly hides txts from the standard lists and RHP contacts are all the same format as the many, many work contacts in the calling lists so prying eyes can't tell the difference.I am upfront with my profile on here so people should be able to determine the best times to contact prior to the first meeting when all the "rules of engagement" can be agreed to between us.

    My wife has a work phone, it was a Blackberry it's now an iPhone. It runs in part through an enterprise server, it has filters on it. I can send her naughty messages, but it can't send pictures with too may pixels of flesh. The big drama with work phones is when someone else has to monitor the number when you are on leave, and the message bank provides details of who you are and where you work. Only people who already know all those details get her number.

    Quoting 'Meeka100' Maybe they are cautious because some women don't know when to let go? Or they find it easier to disappear into the sunset after they have got want they wanted.... And you have no way of reaching them. New screening question. "How do you feel about bunnies?"

    not giving out a number, as there are other options and Meeka has a point, some people just don't know when to stop. I have received texts at 6.30am and as late as 2am. Anyone calling or texting me before 9am gets a rude response from me, one guy I told if he ever called me at such an ungodly hour again, I will rip his head off and shit down his throat...never heard from him again, lol. I am really not a morning person. I had one at 7.30am this morning. I am not really a phone person in general either, I hate the intrusion in my life, someone always seems to want a piece of my arse, friends, family, work and guys on here but I do realise that some other form of communication is necessary sometimes. Email is too slow for me so I use kik or phone messaging. I know some people have a different play phone so they can ditch the number if anyone gets out of hand.

    I got a four am booty call once from a guy I hadn't even met yet. Since then I haven't given out my number until after I've gotten to know people. I have KIK and Viber, so there is no reason to.

    because my mobile is a family phone and used for a variety of things and by relatives as well. Added to that fact, apart from my husband, the rest of the family do not know that we belong to RHP. Most of the time, I am the one that uses the phone but we have our number "blocked" for privacy. I don't have a Smartphone or iPhone either and I can't "work out" my phone to text. When I am meeting a man, there is no issue. I am usually in constant contact with him on my laptop. If all goes to plan, on the day of the Meet, it is I who rings him. Amy

    Something I've come across is being given a number for texting only, I agreed and it worked well. Sexted her to distraction and she called me ! Fraught with danger though.

    Driving a car load of clients (in man mode) and the phone rings on hands free. Not thinking or distracted, answered it."Hi Annie" says the happy caller"Does this sound like Annie?" and its hung up - fast!A few laughs in the car but thinking that could have gone pear shape very quickly. So now we each have our own phone, his work phone and mine. In a pink cover of course!!

    I gave out my number to someone who had a woman's profile, only to find out it was a bloke trying to fool me... Now I don't mind if it was a bloke( infact, if you where in Perth I would message you!! but I don't like being lied to and pretending to be a woman over the phone when it clearly was not... Problem was, no matter what I said, I would get at least 3-4 calls per week at all different times, day, night, 3am etc... And everytime would answer the same way... In a reall bad girls voice... Hi.. I'm so horny, are you free to chat.... Even after telling him very abrupt to fuck iff, the calls kept coming and always started with the same lines.. Hi, I'm horny, are you free to chat.. I had to make up some good explanation when I revived the call while driving, hands free speaker with my boss and a client in my car when deep in conversation, I just pressed the answer button and heard that fucked up voice again say those same words... - Posted from rhpmobile

    If someone gets out of hand and starts stalking or calling/texting at the wrong times - all you need to do is block them. You can block texts and calls quite easily. I know, I have done that in the past. Or you can make their ring silent. There are easy ways to cut off someone who is not following your boundaries or doing the wrong thing. I have had the work one before - and you know what - I don't believe it. If you are on RHP and serious about meeting up with people - get another cheap phone - you can get them for a few dollars with a cheap plan and noone can ever trace it. Just use that for RHP. So no, I won't communicate with someone who won't give out their mobile and I am happy to give mine out pretty early in the piece because I am real and because I know how to protect myself.
