Oh ok...well, yea then thats a whole different story then. Its not so much window shopping at all, more like just...wasting our time 
Thats why also many of us have stopped taking email and text replies as well because of the risk it runs of meeting someone who is basically just wanking off and asking questions. I still take emails, but for some reason lately, text bookings have become less and less popular.

But yea I totally agree its completely different. Its one thing to inquire about a service, but to talk nonsense about dick size, anal sex, having a 3som and such is just RIDICULOUS!

Of course it is. Blokes think that just because we have sex for a living then we must be obsessed by it, hence the cock pics. I got an email today from an "Olaf", saying how wonderful he was at sex and that he'd be great at porno movies, and if I ever did them I was to consider him. I can tell he's sent it to a few ladies, so somebody else on here may have received it. Because I'm a hooker it stands to reason that I've also done porno movies. Sex is sex is sex to a lot of men.

I don't talk to anybody via text messages. They're usually wankers and timewasters. Even the ones that seem innocent enough I don't respond to. I've been caught out before by somebody pretending it was a wrong number. If it states on my website, right underneath my phone number that I don't answer SMSs, then they shouldn't be too suprised when I don't reply to their texts.
I will respond to those from people I've seen before, but not to random blokes looking for a cheap wank.

Same with emails, I don't get drawn into long exchanges. I answer the most pertinent questions and that's it.

I have actually taken text message bookings, went out on my way and then called them once I got to the hotel/house and everything went well.

Nowadays, I just dont do it anymore (due the reason you stated). Too damn risky! And whenever its a late-night booking, I call occasionally on my way to make sure the phone's not turned off! Someone mentioned MSN on another post...I use a particular IM website also, but you have to know who's bullshitting. I've done the IM bookings since I 1st started and I have gotten very well at figuring out who's bullshitting or not.

There's one particular person who calls from Europe about 3 times already from an unknown number and immediately talks dirty. I recognized his voice the last time I told him, "Ok your number isnt showing up I n..." CLICK!
