“Hello sorry for calling you, can you repair a part of an electric oven? It looks like a thingy with a couple springs. No I can’t send you a photo on whatsapp, do you mind quickly installing signal? No? What about email? You’re going to respond in 3-5 business day? Yeah sure I can survive that long on raw potatoes”
If you can afford existing without big tech, I’m honestly jealous. I’m willing to go quite far for my principles (like I have a phone with graphene) but at a certain point life just gets too difficult. I’m barely above water on my adult-ing as it is 🤷♀️
there’s this old thing called the telephone
or if they’re insufficiently modern (in a good way) a website

I genuinely don’t understand what’s wrong with email in this situation? Stay on the phone with them until the email arrives?
If you can’t see what would bother me in that situation, me explaining it further will not help, sorry.
