Because I'm profoundly Deaf and self-conscience about how I might be percieved on the Phone.
Anyone that knows Me well r/t, will quickly say "Fuck that, getting hym to talk more than 2 minutes on the phone is a Huge accomplishment"...
Always been that way...g/f wanted to get in touch? Visit...or write.

Which shocked the ever loving shit out of Everyone when I kept hijacking my relatives Cellphones to talk with o'Queery until almost sunrise, almost every day....
At one point, I got teased..."U can't make fun of me now, you're worse, at least I eat & sleep !"

Other than that, unless it's really important, I loathe phones, my local DMV has a TDD, so that might help in the future...
Social Workers, Case Managers, Shrinks, all of 'em ask whoever's talking for me to get me to Verbally say it's ok for them to discuss my Case/appointment..
All I say is "OK!!"
That's how much I try to avoid the phone.....unless it's o'Q
