Voicemail at 4 PM Sunday: Someone dropped out. We have a spot for you off of the waitlist for tomorrow morning, but you’ll need to respond very quickly.
Text message 3 minutes later: Yes, as long as [contingency] is ok, I’d be happy to be there tomorrow.
[No response]
Email 15 minutes later: Hey, I sent a text message, but I’m also sending a follow up email letting you know I’d like to come as long as [contingency] is ok.
[No response]
Update: I am good to go. The phone # I texted did not receive texts, so this is a lesson learned to call back when someone leaves a voicemail. Thanks everyone.
My work phone is a cell phone. Regardless, texting services are available for landline phones.
Double-regardless, my comment was more a tongue-in-cheek commentary on my dislike for voicemails more than anything serious. I still receive voicemails from people who I know are using a cell phone.
