texting

I prefer email initially, then phone. I don't like text messages, except for something simple like an address. I really don't like sending texts.

Not always available to take calls and speak freely.

Email to start with and up until the drive over.  Then switch to phone.  I wouldn't mind a little phone conversation before that, but my experience tells me most ladies would rather not as they have better things to do with their time.

I have been around for a while and have posted reviews and am whitelisted and on P411.
I have noticed that when women have an email and a phone, they are MUCH less likely to answer a discrete email inquiry (even when it includes verifying information).
Many women seem to prefer to screen by the sound of a voice and then proceed to email.
Am I right about this?  
If so, this might be something to put in the public section of reviews or even on the profile.

Telepathy - when it works, is always nice.

As a part of screening but I thought it was mostly used at the end of the screening process as kind of the final step

I live over 2 hours from the cities.  My hobbying is done almost exclusively on the spur of the moment, so a phone number is almost essential.  I just don't seem to be able to plan ahead for my rendezvous.

...especially the telepathy part.  Love it when she just knows I want her.  Turns out it's still important to confirm by pm/email/phone/text though.

I often do some booking from work and I can't use the phone. I can't tell you how many ladies I have passed over because they don't have an email address listed

But phone if upcoming plans are complex and require some discussion.

for safety reasons.

initial contact through e-mail seems to work the best.  Followed by texts (especially sexy texts) and phone call if needed.  I will say I have been disappointed many times by providers not answering their phone when they tell you to "call when you get here", then you leave a message and impatiently wait in the parking lot while people walk by wondering why you're sitting there...maybe a pet peeve  

because it doesnt always happen

I don't mean to sound negative, but I agree.  I have said on other threads, that I would contribute a lot more to "the economy" if it was easier to set next-day, or even same-day appointments.  Like, a "lot" more.

First, I see if the provider prefers a certain way of communicating and go with that, barring carrier pigeons.  If I can't tell I will email AND call to leave a message.  The first thing though is if she has a web site and an appointment form I will fill that out along with references, TER or 411.

Then phone or text the day of to confirm and finalize any last minute details, such as exact location.

If I have any questions, then I prefer e-mail usually. The exception would be when I'd like to see someone within a few hours. I just don't have patience for those who take days to get back to me. That leads to me seeing several others in the meantime and the desire to see the initial provider may have waned. I always try to give providers as much time as possible when setting appointments though.

Definitely e-mail!! Then exchange phone numbers for last minute contact...just in case.
