Also, the question is not whether it’s a good idea to give out one’s phone number on here-as I already know all the consequences of sharing personal info on the net (Not that I had any bad ones, but I know what COULD happen)-but whether or not anyone would be interesting in talking.
I live a boring life here in Arizona. And I love talking to people. So…bad combo, cause so often I don’t have anyone to talk to. I don’t know that many people in my real life.
I’m a male, by the way, and it’s not that I’m a hermit or a recluse. I just don’t usually have the time for a personal life. I’m always here online working.
There is a program avaialable on the net that, AFAIK, is 100% legit and legal. It’s called “Skype.” (I believe it’s from the guys who started Kazaa)
It’s bascially internet phone service. It’s free. (They do have some pay features, but the basic set up is free)
It’s growing wildly. It’s a small, quick download. If your computer is fairly new, all you need is a headset, combo mic/speakers. ($20 from radio shack)
With the program, you can chage your stataus to “Do not disturb” and others. One status is “Skype Me”. Anyone wuth Skype can do a search for anyone with the status “Skype Me” (which essentially means, “Call me!”)
I’ve received calls from Poland, Chile, Israel, China and more. All free. Call quality is excellent.
It’s a quick way to meet some cool people you’d otherwise never meet.
I probably would, if I could pry the phone out of my teenage daughter’s hand. As discussed in the “Ask the phone sex operator” thread, my phone skills are excellent
Now that I’m “out of the business” I wouldn’t even charge you. Of course, I wouldn’t talk dirty to you, either, but, hey, you can’t have everything!
That’s how I feel, and I am shamelessly enamored of messenger programs. I get a thrill when people message me. It’s just like a phone call, except that you don’t have to cover the receiver in case of unexpected burping.
Anyway, Idle Thoughts, I’d call you, if I had long distance.
The Skype thing sounds like something to look into.
As an agoraphobic, I’m obviously at home all the time and have a set phone bill, so yeah, I’d like talkin’ to ya. However, you’d have to email me a time to call. See, I’m a night owl and might, theoretically, be asleep when you’re up and vice-versa. This way I can plan.
