I am not a fan of text messages. But I like talking on the phone even less than that. So if the choice is between texts and phone calls, I'll take texts. But in all honesty, I'd rather an email. If I'm home I'm probably looking for something to do and I check my email often. If I'm out working, it's fine if I miss out, it won't bother me at all.
The thing that bothers me, is if a scheduler texts you they expect a quick response. I was out, on a route, and I texted my scheduler about a problem, a few months after we had a text conversation about a shop she needed to get done, so her number was in my phone. I got no response at all, never, no apology, nothing, ever, not even on the phone or in an email. If they want to send text messages and expect me to reply in a timely manner, they can do the same. Either that, or don't text me.
