I wanted to ring a pub to ask a question, the number that came up on my search for the place was a mobile number(uk prefix 07)

I rang it and it went straight to answer phone, I hung up, but I immediately recieved a text message saying something like - sorry we can't answer the phone, please text us your question,

I texted my question and about 1minute later got a detailed response.

I think I prefer this instead of voice calls

My local pizza parlor has gone to this system. You just text them your order. They text back confirming your order and telling you when it will be ready. Simple.
