Isn't that what email was designed for?

If I've got the phone on, call me. If it's not on, leave a message, and I'll call back when I can. If I'm busy, etc the phone will be off, but I'll get the message.

Texting would be great for deaf people except that it isn't. If I can get messenger on my phone, why should I bother with texting?

Lots of people can't send/receive email on their phone. For those who can, it's still not as convenient as text messaging.
