I prefer not to be contacted by phone, so please contact me via my email address.

The following website offers great service.

A phone number that says:

"trueCall38 is handling my calls. I prefer not to be contacted by phone, so please contact me via my email address. Goodbye!".

This is very helpful.

I think other autistic people could benefit from this service.

  • I prefer post as I can take my time over it and digest the information properly, it also gives me an excuse to use my desk and then file the letter away  : )  Bliss!  

  • I too prefer e-mail although I am happy with text as well.

    By coincidence I have just complained / given some feedback to my local access team about the team being set up as a telephone based service.

  • Email is my preference - written communication is best for me and emails cost me less than text or post (though I do always write letters for formal matters).

    P.S. It’s nice to see you overcoming your anxiety and starting a new thread California. Thumbsup

  • I tend to ignore communications in whatever form.Most mail and emsil is junk and wont open it.I dont answer telephone calls and forget what is said face to face.

    But I manage to survive somehow!

  • Post. I'm very computer literate and computers are quicker plus more convenient. I have a filing system in my house that goes back years though and posted letters fit into that system. I don't want to change it and I can find everything in it.

  • Well, phone numbers here are only 8 digits long altogether, and they don't start with a zero either. Forms do usually not accept numbers like this, they also don't accept my old UK number, even though that's still perfectly valid and usable.

  • Thank you for letting me!

    For me this works perfectly.

    All forms accept the number.

    You can simply drop the last 8, if it is too long.

  • This is so cool! I have to find something like this here as forms are not going to accept that format - way too long. But thanks for the suggestion, it would never have crossed my mind that something like this exists!

  • I strongly prefer email.
    I can do phone calls if I initiate them and I have written down everything I want to say in advance, but it still makes me anxious. D: 
    Email gives you plenty of time to respond and the option to go back and edit it before you send. Much better!
    SMS is ok too.
