I leave a simple voicemail message: please send me a text.
People that listen to that will... send a text.
It is sad that virtually every form of communication: snail mail, phone, email is overridden with spam and fraud, and the "FCC" does jack about it except a CYA "hey we said it was wrong".
The FCC has been so thoroughly lost to regulatory capture and licentious industry - lobbying - official revolving door that it possibly the least effective federal regulatory agency, and that is saying something
I don't think my doctor's office can even send texts. They just have landlines.
Same with restaurants calling about a reservation opening up. Etc.
Not to mention the fact that if someone doesn't intend to leave a voicemail, they'll often/usually hang up as soon as the prerecorded message starts. "Hi, you've reached" -- <click>.
