Why won't anyone think of the deaf?

Alternatively, "Don't ring me, I greatly dislike speaking on the phone when e-mail will suffice."

I now have a cell phone that I use around 10 min per month. I could easily do without it... but everywhere they expect you to have one. I could understand an email address, but a phone number? Why?

If I were deaf, I'd probably ask someone to record a voicemail explaining that I'm deaf and that calling me will do no good, and offer alternatives, and then enter that phone number into web forms.
