Seems useless to give out that number, then -- Maybe they just forgot that the  switchboard controls calls in their building? Often some organisations will  have a central incoming number that goes to the receptionist & also several  outgoing-only lines used as extensions to be used by the staff, so they're not  disturbed when with clients.

aka: I'm a very important person; I don't take calls on your schedule, I make  them on mine! Happens a lot here for provincial government offices. . .

I prefer texts, as I can get to them on my time & availability & not be  interrupted at the task I'm currently involved with, when they come in. (I'm a  very impo'tant person, don't you know!)
