Phone numbers

[Guest]

Guys,

What do you think? Should we give out phone numbers? I've had good and bad experiences in this.

I gave Nong's phone number to a few guys who helped her out, and that was great. No problems reported. Thanks received from Nong.

I gave Pae's number out, I think publicly, and she was pissed in a big way because apparently she received lots of bad calls. As I said in another post, she changed her phone number 3 times because of bad calls.

So, I think, maybe the right thing is we don't give a phone number out, unless we ask them first, minimally. And if someone on the site abuses that 'gift', what then?

I'm in a dilemma on this one because it can be good or bad, and I now have 250+ phone numbers, and frankly, I really appreciated and used phone numbers given to me in the past, so don't really want to be a scrooge in return.

Any opinions on the right etiquette here for everyone on the site?

Give them out ONLY to people you know.

If people write me for info, I give it to them, that is my job here

there are over 400 names and numbers on "the grid" now..... when someone asks me for a number they get it, simple. I have never heard a girl complain or change her number and as a matter of fact the thanks I get from ladyboys every year for making them popular is overwhelming. I don't know Pae and don't give out her number so she can't complain to me.

I think the girls have to take the good with the bad. Sometimes when you advertise you do not always get someone to purchase something but they just go window shopping. This is annoying to the sales person because they have no idea when they are actually going to close the deal.

Eventually one of the punters who calls will actually meet up with the girl, it is a numbers game after all

I don't think they are getting massive amounts of prank calls. Yes I am sure they get some lonely guy from half way across the world calling them but how does this hurt them?

Ya, I still don't understand why Pae would have to change her number 3 times, for what? I have given out Natalie's number at least 500 times in 4 years and she has never changed it, and at least 200 times for Noon and Areeya and a few other popular ones; could the handful of guys who have gotten Pae's number from Zig been such a bother? I don't see how and I am withholding further thoughts about this model.

I would give out e-mail address only in a public forum, and maybe numbers by PM/e-mail if the girl was ok about it

....so if you could e-mail me your avatar's number, that would be cool and I'll pop down the travel agent to book my ticket to Bangla International Airport next weekend!!

I would almost say the reverse would be better for the girl, if we are going to apply some sort of rules. As accessing email actually costs them money where as if someone rings it costs them nothing and they can just hang up.

the models tell me they HATE it when they get mails from guys who say : " I got your e-mail from ATS;  I am coming there in April 2006 and would like to meet with you, but until then can we be pen pals and try and get some type of communication going like this?"....... etc, etc..... more boring stories about themselves that the girls really do NOT want to hear.

  with a fone number the guys can call them when in town and no pre-planning or other bullshit that could let either side down; call the model, say I am here now at the Nana Hotel, can you come see me tonight?  if no, call someone else on the list, you will be bound to find a taker or 2. and of course, even if you don't you have 5 go-go bars to find someone.

may as well give out,I do, they give em out so easily anyway, a crank call could come from someone they gave it to themselves

Well Ziggy, just send me the number of the girl in your avatar(Mint I think) and the blonde of the twins and I'll buy you a house...lol. Seriously!

So seems like we're convering on:

-Don't give out e-mail
-Give phone numbers, but only one on one (ie, someone who PM's us), versus
publishing to the masses.
-Request members to not phone to chit-chat or say I'm coming in 2 months. They
only want a date within the next 24 hours at most, believe me.

Correct etiquette?

I like this line..... so many falangs have written me over the years saying they want a pen pal or someone they can contact way before they are heading over there. they may want this, but from my experience the ladyboys do not.

Think there's also a difference whether one's going to thailand or the rest of SoutheastAsia.

If one's going to Bali or the PI for the first time, I think it's good to have precontact. I tell guys who want to contact my friiend in Bali to email her three weeks before just to let her know you're coming. Follow it up with another email about a week before and then call when you get there.

One guy from a different Forum, wrote me and said can I have her info cause I might be going to Bali someday and I said ask me again after you book your flight. I mean my friend, who is struggling financially does not need to jettison rupiah at the internet cafe.

On the other hand, if you're going to BKK, Pattaya, or Phuket, it's jsut a waste of your time and her time.

What about afterwards? I often get the SMS or email and send the odd one back aswell to keep things on the boil,for next time. Is that their version of after sales service?
