Email. Same as always. Messages don't need to be "instant", except in the most extreme case. I'm not going to install software on my computer that allows anybody in the world to interrupt me any time they feel like it. Why would you do that to yourself? It's the same reason I have notifications turned off completely on my phone. If you send me a message, I'll read it on my time and get back to you when it's convenient. The only exceptions are house-on-fire, kids-in-the-hospital emergencies, for which the people who would need to get ahold of me know how to do so. And Drinkin' Nights where it's handy to be able to arrange meeting points via text. That's the short span when you'll find SMS notifications on on my phone. But if you text me at that time for anything else, you'll get a response the next day.
