in fact some ladies are email only, you can also ad on your site/ads that explicit communication is not acceptable (most guys know).
I do recommend though, to talk to the gentleman that you are going to see at least for a few minutes from a private phone (Google voice is great), so you can get a vibe about them once you have  fully screened the person, plus it is a nice touch.

less desirable guys to pester you at all hours of the day and night with, "Are you available now?"  You need time to screen and if you don't screen well, LE will eventually give you a set of silver bracelets.

As Paloma said, email is much preferred by many ladies.

I dont have my phone number on TER, P411 or my website .... Because I was getting the same stupid messages and stalking text and calls. I dont have time to respond - or ignore them. Only my regular clients have my phone number. (After verification, second or third meeting) because I feel more confortabl

Some give out their numbers to clients only after screening, just to make folinak arrangements. Some don't even do that. I have dated several providers where contact was strictly email right up to the time of the date. You should only do what yiu are comfortable withand if you are not comfortable giving out your number then don't.
Another point is even if you do give out your number, it should be a different number than your regular phone. Get a second phone for this job.  

By the way, of course you can post on the boards, especially this one! Feel free to post more questions on the newbie board. That's what it's for. Good luck!
