Text Messaging? Or Calling? email this discussion to a friend?

Do you prefer to text people? or call or them?

How about vice-versa...Would you prefer they call, or text first?

Is texting too impersonal?

Why do you prefer one over the other?

Hi there, well i dont use cellphone more often so i guess texting is enough for me. You can see me chatting everyday but not using mobile phone. Its money wisely if i just text my families and friends because i dont do it more often. If ever i use my cellphone to call somebody this is only an important call, anyway keep on mylotting thumbup

I am old school. I would prefer to call and have a conversation. I could say all that I wanted to say. I leave texting for the new comers of the world. Their finger must hurt. I would not be able to keep up with the conversation. The thing that bothers me about texting is what happen if you send it to someone accidently

I'd rather call someone & talk to them in person than text message someone. I don't even like e-mails. I do have to use them for mainly work purpose & few of my buddies do text messages a lot so I do get'em outside of work but I really don't like'em.

I would rather call, as I don't text at all. I have never texted, and I probably won't either unless I text my grandson, who is 14. He tests all the time, but being a teenager, he would text. I think calls are far more personal than texting. At least with calling, I can say I want to say, whereas texting, it would be real easy to forget some things. I guess being a greandmother, I just never thought about texting. It really doesn't impress me all that much. Have a great day, and happy mylotting. happy

It kinda depends on what I need. Typically I text people because it's faster and easier! If I want to have an actual conversation with someone or talk about multiple things then I'll give the person a call. I find texting to be my contact of choice. It takes less time and you can text someone at a time where you might not be able to actually call them. Multitasking!


0livejuice (37)   ranked 119 out of 1,778 in cellular phones  5 months ago

I agree. You can do multiple things at once, without having to actually carry on a conversation, whereas on the phone, if you're doing other things, every five or ten minutes is like "uuuhh...hang on a second" or you're just so busy you get too frustrated to think about what you and the other person are talking about.
I really only call people when I'm bored and feel like chatting:)

It depends on the message you want to give.If your message needs sending pictures and images along with text i perfer SMS else just need to have a plain conversation i perfer calling.Another thing is if you want urgent and private conversation and immediate reply calling is best option. Sms is ideal if you think the person is busy and not able to handle your calls.Lot of things can be considered dependng the situation

Hi there olivejuice. Well, I prefer texting most of the time, especially with new friends or when I'm not in the mood, cause I could just stop replying to their messages.lol Although it could be a bit mean sometimes to just leave the person your having a conversation with in the air. But you could at least have a dozen of excuses that wouldn't offend them, excuses like I didn't receive your reply or my battery died.. lol
Unlike calling or receiving a call, you can't just say bye and turn off the phone, that is totally unacceptable.haha And sometimes, just a few seconds of dead air on the line could be pretty awkward already especially when you both suddenly got nothing to say anymore.=)
