    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.

      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).

        Though he, she, or it seems to have had ~9 minutes in which to avail himself, herself, or itself of the "Delete thread" capability that remains available until the first reply is posted
        Or he was just in the wrong tab and didn't post this under the newly banned sockie as some form of attention whoring. Maybe.

          Most likely scenario. The Zoco and nigelsousa sockies were posting as a self supporting pair.

            I have a "burner" phone for pimps, when I get a contract I get rid and pickup a new one when it comes to start looking again

            I want my account deleted and all of my information removed, I want to invoke my right to be forgotten.

              Couldn't you just leave it switched off until you're looking again? I'm not sure I see the need for a 'burner' for that. You're not Stringer Bell you know!

                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.

                Plus it costs them lots to ring me.

                  I assumed that punting was in being a punter like punternet.

                    You just need to send a text/make a call every 4-6 months or so.
