Just wondering if this is a common practice?  Most of the time I see where providers will state clearly in adds no texting, but I've noticed some providers lately that welcome texting as 1st point of contact....  Seems sketchy to me....  Thoughts????

Lots of younger people seem to prefer texting over calling these days.  If the rest of my research checks out, it wouldn't deter me from making contact.

Just as long as it's from a hobby phone. I have an android hobby phone so it has voice recognition which works great for texting IMO.

Texting from a regular phone sucks if you ask me. I'm sure the average teenager can blast them out at 100 wpm but my thumbs run at words-per-hour speeds.

Just FYI, I've had half a dozen providers show me exactly who they are IRL because they aren't texting incognito.

I'm not saying it's bad, just a waste of time for me. Texting is ok once the screening is complete and appt is set up. It's not easy to text all the screening info and be complete, plus to copy and paste the info so I can email your references is more difficult from a text.  

Some may prefer texting as first contact but my guess is they may not do as much screening. If you are looking for immediate appt then I would suggest an email with all the screening and appt info included then follow up with a text for a faster response.

....look at people on the streets and folks of all ages are glued to their phones (usually texting or typing in something on their phone).

I have no issues with texting, and actually would rather text than email, for some reason my emails do not always immediately notify me when a new message is received. Texts always alert as soon as message is reviewed.  
However, one or two texts to initiate contact and establish that both are a willing and able to conversant, then a phone call to discuss is preferred. There have been many times when a text conversation is no longer helpful but in fact becomes time consuming, tedious and frustrating.  
Best to not initiate until you are serious about booking appointment.

IMO it depends on the provider and their availability to answer phone calls. Personally, I would love to be able to answer my phone all the time, I just can't due to my other responsibilities. Many providers are probably in the same situation (other job/family obligations), therefore, texting or email works best and is easier for them to respond too

It's great to see your input on this topic!  I had planned to contact you by email for "pre-screening," but I'm a little unsure now given that last sentence.  I'm serious about booking but the timing is not immediate.  Would an email be welcomed in this case? :)

Is a saved text better evidence if a police sting is occurring?
