MODERATORS
The whole benefit of texting instead of calling is that it is an asynchronous form of communication. The conversation can continue while at the same time other things are happening. Since other things are happening, that means replies aren't always prompt, and that the benefit.
If you want immediate replies, use a phone call instead. You know, the form of communication that is directly suited for that.
Not to mention that people don't always have cell service. I take all weekend to reply to a text sometimes if I'm at home, because I don't get service unless I drive to town.
