Or do they just view it as a time waiting activity?

I prefer emailing to initially contact me since texting can be hard keeping up with everyone all at once.  But after I have had the pleasure of meeting someone then I am ok with texting.  

...but they tend to utilize it after initial email introductions and after screening. All of my initial contacting has been thru email, and the day of the appointment is when the texts begin.

keeping it straight.  I have received a few texts by accident that were meant for someone else.  I always let them know the intended recipient didn't get it and they are always embarrassed, so emailing is better.

It's been my experience that once I start answering text messages and open dialog with someone I have NOT met -- this is what generally happens:

Oh yes I have been on both sides of that!  lol  

That texting in excess of what is required to set the appointment amounts to time off the clock for the provider and that is why most providers prefer email.

There are some provider who don't like texting but lots do.  In fact, most I see seem to be fine with it.  I much prefer it because the e-mail account I use for this does not give me an alert when I receive an e-mail.  So that can significantly delay my reading it unless it is expected.  Testing is great, I don't have to read it or respond right then.  If I'm in a business meeting, no problem, I can respond after.  Plus phone calls have that "need to answer now" feeling to them that I don't like unless it is urgent.

Those bookers seem to also prefer texting.  But I suspect a lot of these guys that wine on here about being ignored have done exactly what you said, over done it.  It is usually not so much an issue with independents in my experience.

Ummm, doesn't e-mailing take up just as much clock time as texting???

I'm honestly not a fan of text bombs or calls when I'm at school, out with my friends, or studying. That and providers can't really screen via text.

there is a different mentality between texting and emailing.  When you email, it allows the provider to get to it on her own time when it is convenient for her.  If you've ever been in a session where a provider's phone is chirping or lighting up from some guy impatiently texting over and over, then you know how annoying it can me.  With texting I think customers tend to expect an instant response, whereas with email, they are more willing to chill until they hear back when she is not busy.  

3-5 guys, (Or 10-20) texting sweet nothings to one lady = a LOT of texts for her to respond to. If she cannot reply, it doesn't mean she doesn't like you. It doesn't mean she doesn't appreciate you. It means she is OFF or simply cannot keep up with the amount of texts she is receiving. Clients need to recognize the fact that she is one person trying to reply to many.  

i think once you've met and established a relationship, most providers that i know are willing to send and receive texts.

Think of your business life.

...can also sour a provider on receiving texts. Some hobbyists just don't get it and start to abuse the "text privileges " thinking that the provider is his/her new GF/BFF.

Which get abused as bad or more than just texting.  

We appreciate guys like you, seriously

I read an article about some guys who were stung by police who raided a girl's apartment, took her phone and used it to answer appointment requests via text.  The guys were cited when they showed up.  For this reason, I'm always apprehensive about texting.  I'd rather hear the girl's voice on first appointments (when LE check is necessary) and also on subsequent visits.  I would not be comfortable texting even after I know her because I want to know it's her on the other end of the line.
