[QUOTE=Sounds;4779766]Not quite true. If you can get calls and texts, your phone is still connecting to cell towers and they could track it that way.
As Britaly said, only way to avoid is turn it off or leave it at home.[/QUOTE]The best is just pull the battery when going to a location so it doesn't log where you are, then when back in OK area put the battery back in. That way you don't lose the use of the phone for the duration you don't have it. IE: leaving at home.

As Britaly said, only way to avoid is turn it off or leave it at home.[/QUOTE]Exploitation of phones for tracking people and other purposes has been around since cell phones were invented and LE has access to much but not all of the technology. You can find companies who supply it on line with vague web pages that won't tell you much about what they do. Google wants to know your every move too for their own reasons. If one is concerned about being tracked to a location for whatever reason, shutting the thing off is the smart move well before you hit the area. It is going to become my standard practice.
Also, I only turn on my monger phone long enough to make an appointment and any follow up directions or whatever. Everything gets deleted after and it goes off until next time and I never use it for anything else. If I ever get in a situation where I am even a little uncomfortable re that phone, it will get hit with a sledgehammer and go in the river and I'll spend $20 at Walmart on a new one.
The answer to "why did you not answer my call an hour ago" is simply "it never rang and I did not look at it until now. " Since that happens often enough in general, it is my standard answer and has never been questioned.
The problem now is finding an excuse to leave the house even when AMPs finally open.
[QUOTE=Spaz2580;4779072]When AMPs do re-open, what will be the new normal?
HJ w / a glove and her wearing a mask? We have to wear masks too? Will be interesting.[/QUOTE]I would say that the massager would wear a mask and customers could have the option to wear one when they face upwards. Gloves. I would say no. Can't catch covid when it's on your hands. Only when you wipe your face w / your hands if you didn't wash. Just imagine getting a handjob at a nail salon because they wear masks. LOL.
[QUOTE=Lee1995;4778734]Where's this place? Sounds very interesting.[/QUOTE]Is this an apartment / condo? I have been to Edinboro 4th floor I think like a long time ago for a quick handy. First time was good second time grandma was working. That place was a stone's throw from south station as are many others. I have not partaken in the AMP scene in ct, just massage. Where do you even park? I saw a hidden gem off of Albany street in a condo. She went by the name Gina and was gone before you even knew she was there. I think she had a 651 number.

Using the company truck? Does that have a GPS locate in it? Because of the "pandemic" status, the government has no hesitation to pull out all the stops for tracking purposes. I am beginning to wonder about the fast lane passes. What other unknown readers are accessing that as we drive around. May have to start riding a bicycle again.

How many will have lost their lease and be relocating? Which of our favorites wind up where? Will the entire population of providers be new? Starting from scratch?
If any of this is true, this board will be a critical part of recovery for this industry.
Unless towns take the opportunity to eradicate these businesses?

[QUOTE=Herow;4780258]Nothing communicates as clearly how old most of you fuckers are as this conversation about cell phones does.[/QUOTE]Hmmmm Hope your nose comes out of the clouds before it gets chapped!! Glad your so clear on how the cell phone system works.
Please help us old guys out with your vast knowledge and wisdom!
[QUOTE=Sounds;4779075]Here at the moment yes. But phone tracking is coming.[/QUOTE]Contact tracing is here. Thats what my question revolves around. If you're called with a contact, or you come down with it, and asked your travels, will you tell them if you've been to a massage parlor or not?
Right now, I think I'd tell them. For the safety of other mongers.
We know we are old fuckers. And I kinda don't mind 98% of the time, haha.
So, young whippersnapper, what in the thread below is true and what isn't? Sincerely, set us straight.

So finding new locations probably would not be difficult. If the tenant was good before this, landlords may deal with the loss rather than take a chance on someone new.
As far as service, all will vary the way it does now. Some will follow guidelines. Others will just pretend they follow.

Take a look at most major highway intersections and you will see a tower with cameras and all sorts of other interesting goodies. Big brother is watching.
