One thing I will say is that, while texting, emailing or phone might be your preference, it's important to know it's not convenient for others.  That goes for all of us

I always recommend contacting providers the way they would like to be contacted first or use both forms as one might be easier than others.  I know I have had people ask me about texting and why I don't return texts.  Simply because I don't have texting available on the phone service I use.  I don't get texts AT ALL.  I know other ladies who don't have internet on their phones or available at all times (like many providers do have the luxury of) and so email is really bad for them.  For me,  it's ideal because I'm not always by myself or with people the would understand why I ask people what kind of lingerie they prefer me to wear while I'm on the phone in the middle of Target. hehe.  

So being mindful of preferences is key but if you can't comply with the preference, try 2 other methods; calling and emailing on TER.  Email and text, Email on P411 and text, ect.

Just my .02

I understand that.
The things I dislike the most about phone contact is :
People who have no sense of discretion or respect when calling .
Texters I hate having to text so only my established friends are allowed the privilege.
Im a bit Ocd too so both works.
