To answer number 1.

Maybe wait for the punter to call you back and while on this call ask if you can call back to ccommunicate logistics and the likes.

This will save you unnecessary headaches.

Unnecessary headaches = his wife answering his phone.

A whatsapp message after missing the call would be the best as I'm not sure people would be the best for what SmashP just mentioned or the punter could miss the call altogether if they have a punting phone.



My issue is I only have WhatsApp on my private number ..

I also have the same problem sometimes. Getting calls while i am busy with either another booking, or in the shower or just not near my phone for a while...it would be easy if all punters had a punting phone like @HELover said...but sadly its not the case so its always a gamble...



I agree but from what I know most punters dont have a punting phone

punters understand that life happens and you will miss calls now and then, but try keep your phone with you specially to the mall you can answer it and tell me what is a good time to call back if you cannot talk.

The taking a shower and those calls of nature its understandable they happen we human after.

For me if you miss my call I will wait and call later or if you are recently showing on line I will call as soon as I notice it.

my advice do not call back play it safe if the guy really wants to see you he will call back even after a day he will. If your profile caught his eye and attention believe you me he will call back




Noted thanks PuffnMuff

Nothing more. Don't call. Dont send any other messages. Don't even leave your name.

The punter will know who it is/was. If his wife gets his phone, he can just say he don't know from whom the message is. He can even argue someone mistakenly confused his number and send message to him, intended for someone else. If she sees he has phoned the number, he could say he must have dialled a wrong number as he was looking for someone to give a quote on XYZ.



Ok love this idea thank you Vrik

If possible, maybe get a cheap phone with whatsapp? It would also help since there are some punters that prefer to use WhatsApp instead of calling and in general is much more convenient for both sides
