I save the numbers of people who have made an appointment and not turned up, and those I suspect of making nuisance calls.  I do not save every number, just the ones that are persistant pests.

You can always save them with a code and date so you can delete them after a certain time if you like, but I have found that the persistant offenders can be very patient and try again after a couple years.

How do you manage your work phone contacts' list? Do you save them all in your phone? Doesn't that take too much effort and time?

I think saving numbers in your work phone is an essential part of a hooker's daily habits! I save good clients' numbers with a useful 'surname' that helps me to remember which Mark/Mike/John/Jim/Bob/Ben they are and whether or not I do want to see them again (I think many a whore has a "Definitely see again" list, a "Definitely do NOT see again" list and a "Only see if feeling especially patient due to being completely skint" list).

Saving unpleasant callers' numbers is even more important, for obvious reasons that you've noticed yourself and have been mentioned by others above, too. Timewasters will come back after huuuuge breaks (probably spent hassling every single one of the other 10,000 escorts on Adultwork ) to hassle you again so always save the numbers of annoying callers.

Because I am very strict and enjoy particularly little unpleasantness in my working life, I will even save persistant texters and mildy odd callers under descriptive names. If someone's texted me 427 times over the previous year - persistently ignoring any replies I sent asking him to phone for appointments or email with any questions - then if he suddenly calls me I'd like to know in advance what kind of guy I'm talking to. Sure, he might just be a terribly innocent and naive soul who somehow didn't notice my instructive replies until I began properly ignoring him - funny, that! - but it's more likely that I need to take any appointment request he makes with a big pinch of salt. I'd put an extra (tw?) after his name in my diary, if so, and would definitely not put myself in a position of relying on his custom. And it's more likely he'll just be calling to try to annoy me in person anyway (because of not getting the response he wanted from his texts anymore) so I'll need to know to expect that before I fall right into such a boring trap!

Basically, there are many very good reasons for storing all your phone numbers. Adding a date (just the month & year would do; 11.10 etc) is a great idea so that you can get rid of absolutely ancient numbers (thanks Jas! I'll be nicking that one ) but yes, no point deleting them too early. Going through and getting rid of the numbers of guys who were fine but only saw you a handful of times or less can save some space in your phone but on the whole, we just have to put up with having a vast virtual book of numbers both for self-protection and business-building (save your best reg's favourite wine or favourite topic of conversation in his entry, for example!). It's essential.

Getting a phone (Android phones are good for this) that blocks numbers is an added bonus, but I only use this feature on mine on the rare occasions that someone is actually full-on pestering with incessant calls, like a withheld number that just won't p*ss off, cos usually I prefer to judge each incoming call on a case-by-case basis since if I've heard from him before, I'll have saved information that tells me whether or not to answer.

I save the time wasters, Drama and game player numbers mostly

At time I even saw a few when I am in a really good mood or very bored and end up liking some. Then some I  say to myself I see why you do what you do(wast ladies time, play games is a nutter etc...) because they just talk alot of shit and more shit to me and can not even give me a good seeing to LOL. They are just so weak very weak and in turn make me feel sorry for them.

 I just dominate them in a nice/caring sexual way - using all my ticks to make them feel really good.
Some even give themself away and say 'oh Melody I should have come and see you a long time before  I just did not know you was so good - I just always smile and never  onces say, I am aware of the many times you call and upset, wast my time and give so much drama you good for nothing........................... it go on, and on ................and the emails in your many different profiles on A.W and by the way calling me is all you have, because I block you on A.W I have a feeling you know this.

I must start keeping some of the good guy's numbers  the very sweet, nice  and just so lovely ones that alway make me feel really good inside - I think it will remind and teach me it not all about keeping numbers only for guy's  who pay me very well and nutters.

I save nice clients, clients I don't wish to see again and also guys I have not seen and do not want to see i.e. TWs. I recently got a booking request through on AW from someone with no feedback. His number came up on my phone as TW. I emailed him to tell him this and he hasn't replied so far.

Hi

I put the clients names in my phone, have a thing of remembering everyone I've seen and any and everything we've done LOL.

The idiots go in my phone by whatever name I feel like calling them at the time, ranging from fool, jerk, tosser, w**ker, c**t, waster, madman, etc. If they call I just know not to answer, don't remember why, just know not to waste a second more on them. 

this is SO interesting! as i have many the same annotations on my phone, i use 'ns' for no shows too, and when someone calls for a booking i save them as their name and the day they booked for eg: john thursday, when they leave i immediately save them as something that i will remember, as the previous replies have done...

i love the idea of the 2 phones tho that's inspired...i also use blackberry's and its a godsend it really is....both blackberry's and iphones save all your previous texts so its quite useful that as well so that if for example you have a missed call and you text them asking them to try again, you have the backlog of previous texts they may have sent....which is very useful for people who assume you wont remember them.....

i have a great 'gotcha' story when i first started...a guy called me asking me for a freebie, so i saved his number and i didnt delete it for years, i just kept it in my phone....i figured he'd come back round some day....and about 3 years later he did, he asked me for a discount, i said: arent you the guy who asked me to do it for free?  he: gulp, errr, uhhh, well uhhh obviously that's completely wrong of me, err ummmmm

i save all numbers, and as everyone here admits especially the nasty's of every persuasion....if your phone cant store many numbers, get a phone that does store alot of numbers, as having a spreadsheet just doesnt work when you need to make immediate decisions on calls you get.....
