There is no such thing as a "text only" phone number. If you can text to it you can call it.
Most likely all responses from Craigslist are going into the guy's spam folder, and he has no idea that he is receiving them.
Call him. So what if he gets your number? What's he going to do with it? Sell it to a telemarketer? Your number is already on every telemarketing call list that exists already. You screen your calls anyway. You have to get over the paranoia at some point.

Someone would have to gather thousands of numbers to make it even worthwhile, but most of these jokers don't get that. They're just wannabes. They might get your phone number or email address but that's as far as it will go because they won't be able to find a buyer to pay what they think they should get.
