1. 

Email. This works best because I can gather my wits about me before responding, which in turn makes me come across as being more composed and well-spoken than if you were to catch me off guard answering the phone, which provides for a neat segue to the next option...

2. 

Land Line Phone. Once we've established communication via email, I'll provide you with my office phone number. But you see, my office phone number is also our home phone number, and we generally only like to receive calls from telemarketers on that line.

3. 

Cellular Phone. Or, as I refer to it, my "car phone" because that's usually where it is: In my car. Turned off. I am not one of those who has their cell phone always at hand. I'm not a complete dinosaur, however, as I have heard of this new-fangled thing called "texting". But I think it's just a passing fad.

4. 

Carrier Pigeon. Sometimes this is the only way to reach me when power is out, roads are flooded, and my car phone is turned off.
