Not everyone is able to text. Not everyone has access to or can afford a smart phone. Refusing to take a voice call is a clear sign of social ineptitude, imo - if you really can't be bothered to do that I shudder to think of what you must be like in face-to-face interactions. Toughen up.
Phone calls are so much worse than face to face conversations. The absolute worst is having to make an important phone call. That ruins my entire day.
Tbh, at least with phone calls I don't have to force myself to make just the right amount of intermittent eye contact, and then get so distracted by that cognitive process that I lose the conversation.
