Thanks Rae I like cheap, plain phones nice tip 

Just thought I'd share.
If anyone is looking for a cheap work phone. You can get a phone in Argos for 99 pence if you buy £10.00 credit.
It's just a basic phone, that can make calls and sends texts, but that's all I need for work so it's ideal for me.
It's on Vodafone network.

   99p???

I have always just had the cheapest p.a.y.g. phones for work with calls and texts only and paid around a tenner so seeing your post has shocked me. Am off to have a look now at this wonderphone! 

It's called Mobi Wire Ayasha. 

Found it! Pity I don't need one. 

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.

I must not be as popular as you. The days of having texts coming through every five minutes are long gone.  Happy to answer half a dozen a day now and get a couple of bookings through them.

Blocking numbers is something I don't do either. I like to know who is calling/texting. I can log them in my phone and ignore them next time they try their time wasting.

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.

I would never use WhatsApp for whoring anyway. I find my old dumb retro Nokia is fine, and the only limitation is the amount of text messages it can store. However, I'm pretty ruthless when it comes to deleting them, and only keep very dodgy ones for reference.

I've got a third, secret squirrel phone (smart) for an anonymous Twitter account for a completely different interest, and I've actually installed ClientEye on that, just to check the odd number. My personal phone is completely unlinked to anything escort related.

Is WhatsApp bad ??

It's intrusive also difficult to decrypt should the authorities want to find you or use the messages as evidence to solve a crime.

Also tends to attract people who just want to chat.
