My phone number is published in very few places and where is it visible, it clearly states that texting is not allowed.

There are two primary reasons for this:

1  Texting is not an ideal way to communicate.  The very briefness of its nature can lead to all sorts of wrong conclusions and miscommunications and that's the last thing you want when communicating with a Mistress.  I personally don't text with people (in any capacity) unless I know them very well.

2.  The main reason I don't allow texting is to protect My clients' privacy.  Most phones have notifications that display when a text comes in even when the phone is inactive and locked.  If you text Me at 1:00pm and I am unable to respond until 2:00pm, who knows where your phone will be at that time.  I have heard more that one horror story where a sub receives a compromising text when their significant other is there to see it pop up on the phone.  You may be the one in 50 clients that don't have screen notifications turned on or that doesn't care if a family member or co-worker see your texts, but I can't be expected to know/remember that, so your texts will not be answered

No texting means No texting.

People differ in whether they their preferred mode of communication is Email, text or telephone. My personal preference is Email but I have noticed there are many whose prefer texting. Within that group there are those who seem downright addicted to texting.

I just don't understand trying to do business by text, but I wasn't born with a phone in My hand either. ;-)

I agree with your reasoning.

That's why we get along so well, thomas. ;-)
