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.
