Is WhatsApp bad ??

It's linked to Facebook, and a lot of blokes are lax with discretion, e.g. real names, photos displayed etc. It's fine so long as you never log on to any personal SM site with your whore phone etc.

It's a good idea I tried but mine decided to die 
So off I went to buy a sim free pay as you go Motorola with all the blocking apps and hope it lasts as long as I escort 

How can you work with a cheap phone? The sheer volume of texts I have to respond to a basic keypad is not viable. In fact even with a smartphone I use preset texts. And basic phones usually can't effectively block callers/texters.

The thing I like about the cheap Nokia is that I can text in my pocket if I have to. Dont need to even look at it, it just becomes automatic. Also I dont block numbers I save them as. Time waster, noshow(with date), asshole, my fave was shit the bed... you can guess why pmsl

My website says 'texts are ignored and I only take voice calls seriously.'
So a stone age phone is all I need. I put unbeloved callers in my contacts list as wanker975 etc. It's as effective as blocking.
Normally I get 1 call 1 job so all this text stuff is a bit of a time waster and irrelevant to me.

I have a smart phone for friends and family.

You lot must get a lot less timewasters than I do for some reason. 90% of texts and calls that I get are timewasters. Which is why I set up a semi-automatic system using preset texts. They text me, I text them price and postcode, if they don't confirm an appointment time after 2 texts I ignore them

I like the Apps I can get with my android smartphone though.
Trucaller let's me add all the info about callers that I need at a glance, plus their address directly links to Google maps, so I can immediately inform them of ETA when they call to book again.

I block literally dozens of timewasters per week, but I can check the spam folder from time to time (see if anyone has become stalkerish/potentially a threat)

Personally, I could never go back to my teeny little Samsung clamshell (unfortunately  )

Yes. Guys on there just want to chat and hassle you for free pics. I get texts asking me for my whatsapp all the time, why on earth would they want it if they can text me? Because it's a chat app with picture sharing function. They're just timewasting losers who want to collect girls on their whatsapp to chat to when they're bored/horny

Totally agree. It was constant dick pics and request for photos
