'Unable to assign property Text. string expected, got Instance

I was making random text script (dont mind the sounds thing) and I got this error: Unable to assign property Text. string expected, got Instance.

while thing == true do
    wait(math.random(3, 12))
    local txts = game.ServerStorage.CallTexts:GetChildren()
    local Choices = script:GetChildren()
    local RandomIndex = math.random(1, #Choices)
    local RandomSound = Choices[RandomIndex]
    local RandomTextIndex = math.random(1, #txts)
    local RandomText = Choices[RandomTextIndex]
    RandomSound:Play()
    game.Workspace["Talking Ben's Room"].furniture.desk.phone["De Text"].BilBord.toxt.Text = RandomText
    wait(RandomSound.TimeLength) 
    end

Text should be a string. RandomText is an Instance. Like the error told you. What type are the Choices, e.g. the children of CallTexts? Do they have a getter/toString?

If they are StringValues you will need RandomText.Value

If they are TextLabels (your case), you will need RandomText.ContentText
