Strong disagree. A phone call isn't a demand, and doesn't mean that you don't care what the other person is doing. It's a request to talk to them, and can always be declined. Some things are more quickly and easily sorted out by phone call than text.

    I guess that can be true because my phone is usually on silent, but a message would still be preferable because a missed call in my notifications doesn't tell me much of anything.

    I would also put forward that a request to talk could also take the form of a request to talk, like hey are you free to talk about my part in the xyz project?

    PS. I would ask the people who you call if they would prefer a text first. It could be you're calling people who are like you, but it's also possible that you're calling people like me, and they're too polite to tell you.
