Provider/hobby friendly phone service? No such thing...anyone can sign on to any plan. As for coming to London, is it for a vacation or do you want to live here?

[MOCHAakaMOCHA]

As far as Provider/hobby friendly phone service .... basically meant what is good as far as coverage/reception etc? And for provider work & vacay (80% work, 20% tourist fun).

Not different from the US. You buy a cheap phone, purchase a sim card, depends where you buy it...could be anything from £1 to £10. Reception varies, but in London just about any of the carriers will do. Just stay away from 3 mobile.

Visitors visa is good for 90 days and as for working, don't expect it to be anything like the US. British guys are cheap and want everything.

£1 to £10 for a sim not too bad. Can I buy the phone in the US and get a London number here or would I need to wait to get to over there to set it up?
I've gauged rates being anywhere (London agencies, OAD, GD, eros, bp, independent London/UK based ladies, independent US ladies that visit London and so on) from £100hr to £300hr (actually didn't see too many charging under £150hr) so when you say cheap what is cheap? There are cheap men everywhere so dunno how much weight i'll put into that. I have a pretty open menu and for the most part I like to think i'm reasonable anyways AND that being said I definitely WON'T charge less than my US equivalent that's for sure but thanks for that tidbit. Traveling to London from D.C. isn't cheap either.
I hear laws are pretty relaxed over there as far as this line of work....how true is that?

Thanks for the responses for far Crystal Mess (anyone else want to add in please do).

London is very expensive. Accommodation, food, travel etc etc etc

Take your US bills and double them.

Also, London attracts the most beautiful girls, so make sure you can compete.

Gym membership may be useful

That last sentence wasn't necessary, now was it?

Yes it was, remember in Europe we have more normal views on apperance, and what might be deemed curvy in the US is regarded as obese in Europe.

Look up some average weight comparisons.

If she is going to get any clients in London, she needs to shed 28 pounds (or two stone). If she doesn't know what a stone is, look it up.

She also needs to get used to walking around, not driving, public transport etc etc etc.

I would be doing nobody a favour by saying come on over, the grass is greener over here, you will make lots of money.

It isn't true.

I know US girls who come to London thinking it is paved with gold. They can't stop phoning me asking for some change for an oyster card.

If you don't know what an oyster card is, learn before you arrive.

IF you are drop dead gorgeous and know some friends in London

IF you have 1 month accomodation and living expenses to support you

IF you have ten clients pre booked

IF you are coming as much as a tourist as to work

THEN come on over.

Otherwise, forget it, just be another tourist.

Plus, do some research, look at what other girls you will be competing against.

Just as an example (and it was the first I came upon, I have never used them)

He can give the advice and I can ignore what I deem not necessarily good advice and merely personal opinion.


I won't be dropping pounds/joining a gym for vanity anytime soon so....moving on.
I'm well aware in more ways than one of the usual European standard of beauty.

I've been looking at the girls....I think I would be just fine (not every girl I saw was a supermodel though I did see a lot of hot girls if those were actually their pics) ..... bbw or not I'm definitely not too bad myself. I saw a few voluptuous and bbw ladies there...not everyone was a stick or "tits on a stick: .....if I didn't think I'd be comfortable there I wouldn't be asking about it.

The advice of whatever my US bills are to double them for London is info I could actually use....thanks a lot for that.

If i'm drop dead gorgeous and know some friends in London what? That sentence seemed incomplete.

I wouldn't plan to be there a month. I'm just browsing and learning right now. IF I toured i'd try 1wk.

If I have enough clients pre-booked wouldn't budge anyways.....wouldn't be my first"rodeo" touring. I dunno if I'd need to plan to be a tourist as much as I'd work but not a bad idea.

If you would look at my reply before your FIRST comment/reply you'd see I have been doing a bit of research actually on whoever I'd be "competing" against. Agency and Indy.


Anyone else care to chime in (providers also) feel free.

I think I've come across this before BUT i'll definitely be bookmarking this still....thanks so much.

My advice is that the UK and in London is very competitive for girls which means it better for me and other hobbyists. The law is still in place but much more lax which makes it more safe to provide. However when ever i visit the UK i can have an hour with absolute 10/10 for no more than 130 pounds. Withh everthing

My point exactly.

London is not paved with gold.

[MOCHAakaMOCHA]

Duly noted but i'm sure there always exceptions for non-10/10's (i'll take 7/9 lol) on the european standard of things charging more than 130 pounds.
Don't recall saying or giving the impression I thought it was paved in gold but London isn't poor and i'm a pretty talented provider...... I would think I'd be okay charging what I needed. If it's a work-vacay then I'll be prepared whenever I do make the trip.
