| Most delivery services with an app have messaging built-in so you don't need to rely on calls I've used dozens and dozens of delivery companies over the years, and the only delivery company I've found that doesn't have its people calling on phones is DoorDash, and even that uses SMS. Plus, most of the best places don't use services, they have their own people. we had dedicated business lines Doesn't help you when someone needs to contact you in an emergency, like the alarm company, or the landlord, or security, or the police, thousand other things. For buying and selling real estate, there are agents that act as go-betweens and you can put their number on your contacts list. Sounds good in theory, but doesn't work in practice. There can be dozens and dozens of people and companies involved in such a transaction, and you can't predict who they all are. For renting, put the management company on your contacts list. When the management company sends a vendor over to fix something, you don't know what number they'll call from. To "never" get an unexpected, important call sounds like a side effect of a quiet life. I envy you. |
