I agree now days people text alot, even for business. But do you have any type of relationship with coworkers?
I think its completely normal that the department would have her number as well.
IMO though you don't use text to communicate unless there is some familiarity with the person. How would you know who the message was from? Most likely there would be familiarity with the number or name, or the signature would be something like
raymond, from the lab, im working on the cage......
I'm not working at the moment, but I do soccer mom stuff. Other than immediate family, I don't have a personal relationship with anyone else that I text.
I like communication in writing in case I have to refer back to it. Texts and emails allow me that. I may not remember everything said in a phone call. But it's right there in an email or text. This really helps me if I get busy and scattered. And then there is the entire privacy issue. I really feel self consious about strangers listening into my phone calls. You never know what they might do with the information they hear.
