Getting back to basics with phone chat services

Back at the dawn of the millennium when broadband was becoming ubiquitous in developed markets, it seemed that the new breed of online cam services made possible by a faster internet had rendered the humble phone obsolete.  Finally, consumers could actually see the object of their desires.   This was so much more compelling than just being able to talk with her, right?

Well, yes and no.  As the late night ad spots on tabloid TV channels throughout Europe and elsewhere bears witness, there is still an enormous appetite for fans of aural sex.  And these services still make money, otherwise they would not exist.

For whilst it is true that men are usually aroused by what we see and not hear, our biggest erogenous zone of all remains our brain – and some sexual fantasies cannot be satiated with visuals alone.

Furthermore, when chatting to a model via cam, there are countless potential distractions for both parties.  An Instant Message alert here, and an email there hardly lends itself to an unobtrusive one-on-one – whereas phone liberates both the caller and the model from the web, far removed from all that internet clutter. 

So, far from killing off phone chat services, the internet has actually created a new variant of them.   Since the web powers such calls, there are no phone companies involved in the billing – which is why we can afford to pay the operators the lion’s share of all call revenues.  Moreover, the quality of the call is often better than if the caller had called the model direct.

Needless to say, each and every call facilitated by these next generation pay-per-minute chat lines can and should deploy a strict ‘double blind’ system whereby the caller never sees the operator’s real cell phone number, and vice versa – all calls remain completely discreet and confidential.

Since the phone remains an inherently more intimate medium than its online cousin, fans love the opportunity of reaching out to their favourite PornStars this way – and this is reflected in the amount of repeat callers.  Think of it as a boyfriend/girlfriend type thing – the callers probably do.

Finally, don’t assume that callers want Phonesex each time – anecdotal feedback suggests that the majority of callers simply want to chat.  And that’s something that most PornStars are very good at – especially when they are receiving money per minute for the privilege of letting their fans reach out to them this way.

In conclusion, PornStars and indeed amateurs  that ‘do’ Phone can start making nice additional revenue via a device dating back to the pre-web era, whilst benefitting from all those free advertising opportunities in the internet one – a ‘call me now’ tweet gets the word out to a very targeted and receptive audience.

Given that there are now more phones in the world than there are people, talent that do not offer chat lines are simply leaving money on the table.
