Here is a blog delving into cheap phone sex on babeshows, initially shared by Babe TV in November 2013, through their now-deleted Tumblr account. The blogger starts off by saying:
“Recently, something small has turned into something big. And that’s not me rehearsing phonesex chat lines for xxXpanded TV’s Lily Rose – it’s a comment on a babeshow attribute which came from the backwaters of babe TV, but which in 2013 has been adopted by the biggest channels of all. I’m talking, of course, about reduced rate calls.”
36p phone sex was a hot topic on babe channel forums back in 2013 when certain channels offered extremely cheap phone sex to viewers. This marked a notable departure from the scenario on the night of March 23rd 2010, when Babestation 1’s Freeview show initiated a strategy to raise its standard call charge for mobile phones from £1.50 per minute to £2. Although the increased rate initially occupied a small segment of the broadcast, by the summer of 2010, the new charge spanned the entire night. In 2011, Babestation Xtra also adopted this approach. So, what led to this shift, and why do all of Babestation’s Freeview channels now need to provide cheap phone sex?
It was implied back then that XXXpanded TV has significantly impacted Babestation and other babe channels with their offer of 36p phone sex. Xpanded had even reduced their basic charges to as low as 26p per minute, prompting contemplation among those accustomed to Babestation’s higher rates.
Reducing rates on Freeview shows has precedence. TVX call channels, Cream Live and Honey Nights, offered more affordable calls than Babestation, ranging from 45p to 75p per minute, with occasional 35p per minute lines. However, TVX’s Freeview presence was short-lived, from November 2010 to April 2011, and one of the shows, Cream Live, was replaced with encrypted video content in February 2011. The question remains: Why didn’t TVX channels influence Babestation’s prices like Xpanded did?
Many babe channel fans recall TVX’s brief period of reduced rates on Freeview, lasting about a month. By mid-December 2010, both Cream and Honey’s lines returned to £1.50 per minute, aligning with Babestation’s pricing, including the £2 per minute for mobile calls, when TVX went off air in 2011. Unlike Xpanded’s sustained approach, TVX’s cheap phone sex on Freeview were more of a short-lived publicity measure.
So, what’s the current scenario? Will prices decrease or rise again? While prices do matter, what consumers truly seek is value. Value hinges on the relationship between what you give and what you get. If people believe they’ll receive something better, they’ll find a higher price justifiable and be willing to pay more. We’ve seen this on live sex cams. Some cam girls charge more for more explicit shows while some nude models models keep their rates low. However, it’s not always that simple; value also involves factors like perceived risk. In situations where people feel guaranteed to get what they want, they’re willing to pay more, but babeshows face a challenge with perceived risk. When the audience is large, not every caller can interact with the girl on screen, creating a sort of gamble.
Xpanded had a good amount of success on Freeview. The cheap phone sex prices were appealing, the models seem engaged and motivated, and the show doesn’t trigger any suspicion. While it may sound simple, these factors together create a sense of good value, which is more influential than a low price alone. According to the original blogger, babeshows need to offer more appealing services. Reduced call rates on Freeview have additional, less apparent benefits. The economy of scale on Freeview makes lower prices more feasible than on Sky-only channels, potentially giving Freeview channels with reduced call rates the ability to outperform rivals on Sky in the long run. This doesn’t only impact the competition with Xpanded’s budget model but also affects other aspects of the industry, including competing cams services that can’t match the economy of scale provided by 36p phone sex.
Fast forward in 2023, the risks posed in the original blog are no longer a factor. Callers are guaranteed to speak with their chosen babe thanks to the countless ways of interaction. Viewers can choose to join the model’s nude cams or spark up a text conversation through sexting. Viewers can even send a buzz to the model’s vibratoy and control her orgasm. There’s also C2C, pervcam and Babestation X where viewers can talk to real life British porn starts, enjoying hardcore live sex action in real time. Of course, Cheap phone sex is still on offer for those wishing to communicate the good old fashioned way.
