When you have something to tell another person through the phone, what does your impulse allow you to do? Do you dial the number and give the person a ring? Or do you go to the messaging center to send a text message?

Most of the time i just straight up dial and call the person. I think it saves me a lot of time.

But I'm not sure if that works for other people too.

It depends really on what I want to talk about. If it involves numbers and details, then I'd prefer to Text it. So that he/she won't need to look for a pen and paper, at the same time, it'll save us more time than spelling the figures out.

On the other hand, if it's about instructions or clarification on something, then I'd go for calling instead.

I like to dial more than texting. But before dialing I always think about the person. If I need to call dial him or her at office time when he or she normally remains busy, then I prefer to text. Because I know during meeting or busy time it is not possible to pick up a call. However if I call at night to just talk then I dial up always. So it entirely depends upon time and the person I am calling.

That is depend on urgent or not urgent. If that is urgent, I always phone call their phone. But if do not urgent, I only send message for them.

But sometime for the same celullar provider I always make phone call, because more cheap than send message happy

I call the person when the point to be conveyed is important .For routine matters i just text him the message.As a fellow mylotter said its important that we don't disturb a working person.It all depends on the situation.

Most of the times, other than those of meeting and being in some sensitive places, I simply call. Yes you are right, it saves a lot of time. Specially when your text-messaging speed is not so high and you have to type something which the built-in dictionary won't allow/recognize. Have a nice dayhappy

really depends on what you want to say. if it's something important i usually call and if they don't pick up i leave a voicemail then text after so i make sure they get the message. if not so important then i just text. simple as that

I call since I don't have text messaging on my cell. I chose not to have this program. It's faster to call. I also didn't want to pay the hefty fees to send or receive texts. Am not one to use my cell much. I'd prefer never to talk on the phone since it's not my favorite thing to do. Our kids mostly call the house unless they need to get ahold of me fast. Then they call my cell if I'm gone.

If I just want to see how someone's doing or to catch up I will usually call. If it's to give directions, drop someone a line, remind my husband of something, then I will text. I have also been known to text someone when it's been a while since I talked to someone that I really don't want to talk to. That way, at least I've been in touch but I can avoid awkward parts in a conversation.

just depends on what if it's going to be about, if i'm talking to my boss and don't want my partner to know i use the text on my internet. so he doesn't know what i'm doing (it's a long story on why i do it that way) but the have been other times when it needs to be explained in person or on the phone.
