I prefer email as well but for the ladies who want to text, it isn't an issue giving them my cell.

People just have to be aware that emails sometimes get marked as spam, so I always keep an eye on my spam folder.

 
In addition, emails can occasionally get lost in the ether. It's rare but it happens, so if one doesn't hear back it can never hurt to send a follow-up if one doesn't receive a reply in a reasonable amount of time.

I agree, I always check spam and encourage people to do so, I always follow up as well but I don’t like when no one replies after I reach out .
It’s just principle to me.  
I always say I’m an email away!
