According to a conversation a couple of years ago I got the impression that Yanks get charged for each text and it's none too cheap.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away. -
I'm guessing 'punting' in this context is to set up a Tinder account so that the lady no1 doesn't find out about the lady no2 (and 3 and 4 and 5 -that's how Tinder is designed to work).Comment

As to what zoco is punting (offering for hire or sale for ready money), whether here or on some other forum: some questions are best left unanswered

I use a YAC number, and if I want to disable it, I just switch off forwarding, change the voicemail message and agents can leave me a voicemail via email.Originally posted by Bunk View PostCouldn't you just leave it switched off until you're looking again?

You just need to send a text/make a call every 4-6 months or so.Originally posted by zeitghostIf it's PAYG the network will deregister it if you don't turn it on fairly regularly."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
