What percentage of businesses have someone available to answer text messages? My feeling is the answer starts with 0.0 and then may have some more zeros before a non-zero digit occurs.

Surely in any business, there is at least one person sitting around doing nothing worthwhile at any one time? E.g. if you go into a shop, there's a very low chance that everyone working there is actually busy doing something, someone's always standing/sitting around
Why would a business not have someone available? This isn't much different from an employee answering a phone, granted in this case it's the employee's personal phone.
What percentage of businesses have someone available to answer the telephone? This seems more convenient than that.

But it also seems like twitter.

How do you message a business that doesn't follow you privately?
#businessname blah blah blah message blah
