thank you! xx

should create another thread maybe..clients can top up my paysafe card? as deposit? just google it but i can not understand! i need to sign up to understand!

PaySafe is a voucher. You buy it from pay points, ?10 or 20 or 25 I believe.
It looks like a pay as you go phone top up voucher. So you have a unique PIN code on it and then you use it to pay on websites accepting it.

I guess you could ask clients for PaySafe vouchers as deposits but 1)they would have to find a shop selling these (they are not sold everywhere), 2) you'd have to use it immediately to make sure the client doesn't use it behind your back. The money is "in the PIN code" itself, so once the PIN is disclosed you want to be sure you're the one using it first.

A bit like Amazon gift cards, the deposit isn't paid until I apply the codes to my account. I'm in a rural area yet clients manage to find shops selling them. Are paysafe sold in Bargain Booze? There's a BB in most small towns.

I have an old blackberry which works perfectly fine (infact find it better than my android for work and I have apps to block numbers etc).

The Vivaprotect service charges enquirers a higher rate for their phone calls, whether they are tw or genuine, this revenue is never passed on to you, and many punters who don't realise until they see it on their bill consider it a rip off. If you phone them back, or text them your real number is revealed.

I tried one of these when I first started, soon ditched it and simply work with a dedicated work only mobile which I already did without having to remember the other number.

Some ladies do have a separate mobile for VS.

I do not because I have enough with 2 phones (1 work, 1 personal) I have one mobile for all my adverts, and link everything to my website that's sufficient for me.

If they do not tell me they've seen my website or AW, I ask them.

My VS has higher rates on it, this is to encourage visits to my website and probably puts some off which is fine. When they phone I always give my usual rates (ones on website, AW & VS).

Everyone no matter where they find my contact details gets the same information (unless of course they say they've read everything, and even then I will double check/confirm does and don'ts etc).
