We have multiple ways to send someone a message these days. If you want to contact someone, you can:
Call their landline
Call their cellphone
Text them
Email them
Mail them a note
Create a web page
Have an airplane pull a banner through the sky
Use any one of many social media
Have a friend or a grandchild use their know-how in any of the above ways
I like to know my friends' preferences for communication channels but I often don't. Besides, preferences and arrangements can change without notice. So, I imagine a message sitting in an email account unread for days or longer. There are pros and cons for each method.
