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

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.Originally posted by NickFitz View Post
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
