And even then I'd argue kick off the urgent communication need with a text. They can call back if they realize synchronous communication is needed for the circumstance. They are more likely to receive the text than a phone call. If they are in a meeting or whatever, they would likely let the call go to voicemail, but a text they can discretely read.
- milkytron 5y agoWhat I do is call if it's urgent and time sensitive (SO is out shopping and I need to add something to the list). If no response and more urgent (actual emergency or needs immediate attention and is high priority), I call again. If not an emergency, I send a text with the necessary information and they can call back or respond via text. Seems to work out well and fairly straightforward, I'd imagine I'm not the only one that follows this flow.
- jfk13 5y agoIt depends on the other party's phone habits. We don't all carry them everywhere or check them constantly. If you call me, I'll probably hear the phone ring, and can either answer it or check for a message, whereas if you send me a text, there's a decent chance I won't even notice its existence for some hours. Better hope that "urgent communication need" isn't too urgent...
