Dolly Parton is giving the facts around why she's only reachable to friends through fax.

The country legend appeared via satellite on Wednesday's episode of The View, where she set the record straight about her long-reported love of using a fax machine as her primary form of communication.

"Actually, I don't want to get into that world," Parton told co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, seemingly referring to the current popularities of cell phones, text messages, emails and social media platforms.

It's not something Parton's pals have accepted easily. "Kenny Rogers used to aggravate me about it," she recalled of the late star. "I said, 'Look, I'll send you a message by carrier pigeon if I need to get in touch with you. You always seem to know how to reach me when you want something!' "

"So I actually, I never did get into getting involved in all that because it'll take up too much of my time if I tried to get in touch with everybody who is trying to get in touch with me," she continued.
