    and I refuse to spend hours of my time listening to voicemails when I could have scanned a text message in 15 seconds

      This is why you actually answer the phone to prevent 300 voicemails. That’s on you if that happens. And I have repeatedly found that a one or two line text message NEVER conveys the whole message because people do not know how to create a cognizant thought. So I can either spend hours texting back and forth to get the whole picture or you can call me directly, answer my pointed questions, and be done in 60 seconds or less.

        I’m not going to answer the phone call that happens at an extremely inconvenient time just to have a three minute chat that could have been a 15 second text.
