which is better to communicate with your friends, by phone, email or in person?

I always prefer emails to contact friends.At times, I also call by phone. It depends upon the time I have. If I have enough time to chat with my friends, I prefer phone. But if I have a limited time and want to say a hi to my friend,I prefer mail. Because if I ring up and if the conversation goes on without a stop, them my other works will be affected. I don't like to waste the time unplanned. So it always depends upon the time factor. But more than mail, I think phone calls would be more personal. It can also help the other person know that you are there for him. Because when the other friend hears your voice, it would be more nice than just a typed mail. So phone calls are better than the mails.

In person, of course. That's still my preferred way of communicating with my friends. However, I'm very far away from them as of the moment so emails, phone, or chat will do.

If these people I meet through internet, email/chatting or texting is best way to communicate but if these person is my offline friend or family then I would prefer talking them in person.

it depends on how far we are from each other. if it's about our family and friends around me, i prefer to use our ancient communication method: just meet them, sometimes also by phone. but if it's about our long distance friends and family, i prefer to use email or text messages.

I prefer to communicate with my friends, families and colleagues with in the phone because as the phone rates are become low and as the taking communicates well I prefer to use phone

I have friends and relatives from other country that communicate with me regularly.I call them sometimes but sometimes we talk in the internet.If they can't catch me online they will just send me an email.All these type of communications works fine for me.

I feel there is nothing like communicating in person. There is expression involved in communicating in person which you cannot get by any other form. Email and phone is great as they serve the purpose of communicating immediately and quickly.

I always luv to send mail and would like to continue the same mode.

Communicating friends on the phone is the better way to express our gratitude and feelings that email.
