Tommy.[/QUOTE]I don't know why anyone would have a burner when all you have to do is download either Google Voice or Sideline to your smart phone.

Either work well for both text and talk. No need to pay for another phone, even a cash only burner. Much more convenient.

What if you got caught with the burner phone? How would you explain that? There is a free program called NQ Vault. Does everything. What is great about it is that it appears as a calculator (that works, by the way). You enter your password and then hit enter and bingo. Pictures, numbers, conversations, etc. All there.

It blocks Google Voice. I haven't tried Sideline but will check it out along with the other apps. I think one of the advantages of a burner phone is it's disposable. May come in handy under certain situations.

I even have it password locked out. Some things have to be top priority and this is it. I like the fact that it is safe and not tied to me I use it for nothing else but to hobby,and yes I can throw it away.

[/QUOTE]Because work pays for my phone and there is no way I would ever think about having anything hobby related on a work phone.

Much more convenient.[/QUOTE]I can think of a lot of reasons why someone would want a burner phone rather than download an app to a smart phone, but most come down to personal preference. Some people do not own a smart phone or want to download another app. Some are not convinced that an app is as anonymous as advertised. Another would be that if one does have the unfortunate luck of being arrested in a prostitution sting, they would rather have a burner phone rather than their personal phone confiscated as a criminal tool and locked up as evidence. Just my 2 cents.

I've seen a girl a couple times now over the last couple weeks and she seems to have quite the persistent sniffle.

She's never tried to cover her arms or other likely injection sites like I see in some reports. Always fully naked for the deed. But this most recent time she was also sweating pretty good when we hadn't even been in bed 5 minutes and she had been outside in 40 degree weather just a few minutes earlier.

I've also seen a sketchy character hanging around that sure seems like a dope boy. She was with him while I was watching from down the street before my most recent visit.

Dope sick?

Tommy.[/QUOTE]Does anyone have experience with or opinion on this service? [URL]http://myaka.com/[/URL].

It seems reasonably priced and they seem to be privacy focused. Also does not require an app or second phone.

There are others out there that are clean and just need financial help, as be raising kids or just regular bills in general. Perfer this type of the ones doing this for the next fix. Apperantly you are uncomfortable with this situation as you brought it out in the open. My advice is think with the big head and not the little one as you never know what can happen. Especially with some guy hanging around. Be safe.

I think most likely a burner phone WITH an app may be the solution. Apparently, the app thing to encode ifo may not be as secure as the hype says, see: [URL]http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2015/04/nq_mobile_vault_the_popular_encryption_app_has_laughably_crackable_encryption.html.[/URL] Of course, in the hobby we are not likely to run into NSA agents, however, we can't be too careful. If you have a reason to conceal your activities, then you may as well do it right. I'm not a code writer or anything like that, but I would do lots of research, then pick a the best app I could find. Of course, the best thing is to just memorize the really important stuff, or put numbers on one page in a little black book that you can swallow, LOL.

Cheech.[/QUOTE]I do love having a smart phone to do my research and see who is available, but it does create a huge paper trail if that is how you contact people. I've switched to a burner but it has made it a lot harder to contact providers, though I feel safer. I'm not sure I'd trust an app to be completely private but I feel like it is safe enough for local mongering.

One other option is [URL]Textnow.com[/URL].

They have an app for Android and IOS, and you can monitor it from a web browser as well.

This is to repost a warning about a provider who has a health concern to hobbyists. She has post on our classifieds a long time ago, she posts on b / p under several different names, and SW's price hill, mcm, Colerain.

With all the new BP girls who are advertising and all the multiple ads, it's almost impossible to figure out who is who. Here are some of the prime "multiple" offenders.

Crissylynn 7.

Josijames 5.

Juicy 5.

Leighbby 5.

Storm 5.

Sweetieebee 4.

There are tons of threes and twos and this only includes the first two pages of names.

Good luck sorting through them.
