You want them to make texts they already send a robocall instead. These are literally your words. And since you never answer your landline by you own words, you never actually receive the content they're sending. Why wouldn't you instead rather they didn't do either (sending automated texts and robocalls)?
I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that I want them to send texts. I don't want unnecessary messages on my mobile phone, since it's with me all the time, where I feel more compelled to look at it. I would rather they send a voicemail to my landline and I can listen to the message when I feel like it. Most of the time I'm working on my computer and I can hear the voicemail being recorded in the background, and that's all I need. By using the landline I'm offloading relatively unimportant stuff away from the more distracting device, the mobile.
