One of them is local and gave me her cell #. I We chatted a few times about getting together, but she was always conveniently busy (re: not interested in a real friendship offline).
She might have considered meeting in person to be "too soon", she could be thinking that she doesn't know you well enough yet for that.

With regard to phone calls, she could be thinking that she doesn't know you well enough to engage on the phone.

People move at different paces in developing friendships.

An option might have been to have a texting-only relationship for a while, to enhance mutual trust, and see what develops.

I know that you don't want a texting-only relationship. It could, though, be a stepping stone to what you do want.

If you don't want even that, so be it. I would, though, advise against calling people liars. This woman was favorably enough disposed to you to be kind on FB and send her phone number. Why extinguish that favorable feeling?
