while reading this I was afraid of what conclusion the author was going to reach -- but a vm message that says 'txt or email me' is great -- amen!

That seems redundant.
If I get a voicemail that says, "text or email me" - isn't that basically saying, "i was trying to get in touch with you, please reciprocate" - which is already made implicit by the fact that you have a missed call because someone was trying to get in touch with you?
At that point, don't even leave a voicemail. I never do - they'll see that they missed a call and call me back, or I'll try again later - or I'll send them a text or an email!
I'm pretty sure the OP is taking about having the RECEIVER'S message mention texting/emailing, e.g.:
ring... ring... ring...
"Hi, this is Steve. I'm not here right now. If you could text or email me instead of leaving a voicemail that would be much appreciated."
yep really I find VM is just a 'medium' choice, and one that I don't prefer, but maybe my callers would at the time. Sometimes it's just easier to ramble on about something instead of typing. But VM is by no means instant, don't expect a reply in any soonish timeframe. That's what IM/txt is for. Email and VM might as well be the same...non-current issues.
