I have called my T in a crisis, left voicemail and he got back to me quickly saying he was arranging a session for me. I don't like phone calls, but I also don't feel it would be personally helpful for me if I thought he was available to talk on the phone. It would create a need I don't currently have. At the start of T, I told him I'd called Samaritans a few times and we discussed that as a crisis management technique - if I thought T might be on the end of the phone whenever I needed, that would be really disruptive. That's just for me personally!

That said, I do know he has his phone on during the holidays, and when I've texted him in a crisis he's replied. I just don't want actual phone calls.
