People here are making comments about the OP using the same phone for personal and work. The OP has not asked any opinion on that!! She is asking about guys who use whatsapp.

True, but the two are linked IMO. As Quinn says, WhatsApp can lead to privacy issues. Plus if you have e.g. Facebook on your phone and only one phone, you run the risk of clients getting your info. I just can't understand why any SW would use her private phone for business.

We don't know if the OP has family or Facebook. It was more the post of somebody banging head that wasn't very nice.

Kay, with respect....No, there are no buts. I asked a simple question, and several people felt the need to give their irrelevant opinion on something that wasn't anything to do with the question. Its annoying. As I stated it works out just fine for me in my unique circumstance. So why anyone even cares if I only use the one phone is beyond me?? LOL. Its things like this that stop people asking for advice and what not on these types of sites.

I have seen posts by sps communicating with clients on this app, but after seeing this thread, I decided this is a criterion for being TWs.    What do these men use this app for anyway?  Someone ( a dude on AW) told me people would use it for business as well, not just as a hook-up app.  Whether this is true or not, someone could enlighten us further.

But on the other hand it's always worth at least alerting people to the dangers - more than one SW has been outed because Facebook has suggested them as a friend to a client because they were logged in to their personal FB page on the smartphone they use for work. Google Mail and LinkedIn cause similar problems.

I don't like it when they instantly message me via Whatsapp my work phone as whenever I say call to book most don't but the good ones do. I like it when international Caucasian  clients contact me for bookings. Plus when I get a call direct from client on my non smartphone line I always ask if they have whatsapp as I find it's free cheaper to use so they can send me screen grab of my cab details Addison Lee or Uber.

The plus side is when I get requested for pussy images or face ( yet it's not something i provide or show) I instantly send them gay explicit porn pics then quickly block but shows the blue ticks that they read it. hahah

If you didn't want comments about you taking risks by using one phone, why even mention it?

Anyway. I have my WhatsApp profile pic on my work phone set to a text graphic that says "I don't answer WhatsApp so please call me to make a booking." I do allow regulars to contact me via WA though.

Think maybe the nasty comments were unnecessary and I'm surprised bullying is being tolerated on here quite frankly.

Bullying is not and has never been tolerated on here. There's a difference between that and a twattish post that is clearly twattish to anybody reading, and the people here are not such fragile delicate beings that they'll disintegrate if they see one as clearly demonstrated by the OP.

Back on topic now, please. By way of a reminder, the topic is the phone apps mentioned in the title, not the number of phones somebody has and the way they choose to work, and from that POV I don't blame the OP for being irritated. Anybody wanting to discuss the number of phones they have is free to start their own thread :).

Back to whatsapps when you change your phone you can leave the whatsapp feature on old phone then when you have a quiet day switch it on and hook it up to wifi and answer them all. X

I mentioned it because I knew I'd get people saying "oh you shouldn't only use the one phone" and I thought by mentioning it would deter people from passing comment on that...clearly not

dunno know what "viber" is but I am over 35, so probably past it a tad. I have watsapp though, good for seeing what no shows look like if they try & rebook on another number.  :D In my experince watapp & all that crap are bound to attract fantasists, a bit like those dating swiping apps. It's all about the "filler" you know fillig in time when lacking something of substance.

With any comms app - and there are loads, e.g. Kik, Signal etc. - I think the main thing is to use one that doesn't bypass you knowing the actual phone number of the other person, or else a creepy/dodgy client could just keep signing up with a new user name. Kik is an example of this AFAIK, i.e. you don't need the number, just the user name.

And a general comment: this is an information forum for sex workers, so I don't think it hurts to make respectful, relevant comments, i.e. if a newbie escort was reading this thread, I'd want her to know that IMO it's essential to have a separate work phone. I'd say this is especially the case for younger ones who are addicted to social media and don't realise the outing dangers that they can cause.

Kay. I know you mean well but somebody else did the  :FF at the OP and that was not nice at all. X
