Hi Painkiller, I like to be able to meet my friendsface to face but sometimes distance prevents this so sometimes i is by email, sometimes it is by telephone and sometimes by text. It really all depends on time and what needs to be communicated really. You can't be a real hug from a friend so to meet for me creates the strongest bond but then saying that my best friend of over forty years tends to be by post or phone as we do live a long way away from each other these days and that bond has been strong since we were five years old, so perhaps it is a spiritual connection of just knowin we are both there for each other that matters more. I love all my frieds dearly however we communicate. Ellie :D

I think when in need in whatever fastest way your friend contacts you at that moment is important. I cannot be meeting in person all the time. So a phone call also is equally important.

Most of my friends are in the Philippines, the only thing I can communicate with them is through chatting. I have friends here also in US but they're way to far from me. The communication we have are chats, text and calling each other. If we will be given a chance, we will meet in person and spend time together and that's what we have been waiting to do that.

Since my best friend lives out of my state the best way for us to reach each other is via phone... But if we need each other... one or the other is on a plane.. a friendship of 34 years .. we have to be doing something right :) Hugs me

many of my friends are not in the same town, state, country as i am, so email, blog and phone (mostly the first 2) are the ways that i am able to keep with my friends!

if we are in same city then obviously we prefer to meet personally but if its not the case then we prefer cell phone or sometimes chatting on messengers. i think cell phone is the best way to communicate.

Though singapore is not that big t omeet up with my frenz in person, but still it's quite far to travel the distance, plus work load and their time with their family, so most of the time, we will only get in touch with each other thru phones, and meeting up just once in a while over dinner ^_^ But there are some frenz whom will chat everyday over friendster or facebook too ^_^

My bestfriends and I pretty much do it all. We get together and just hang out, call each other and spend hours yacking on the phone or write each other emails. Hearing their voice or seeing them in person is the best though. I think being able to hear the emotions in a voice and seeing their facial expressions makes it easier to communicate.

I keep in touch with all my good friends through cell-phone, messenger and meeting up with them. Meeting up gives the strongest bond. When you get to meet someone its a million times better than just chatting with them on messenger or talking with them over the cell phone.

Hi painkiller77! For me, it is cell phone, MSN messenger and meeting in person. For colleague or friends, just keep in touch with cell phone or MSN messenger. For close friends, we will get together on weekends. What about you? Have a nice day!

I keep in touch with my friends in many ways. I have some friends from when I was little that live far away, so I keep in touch with them through e-mail, cell phone, and regular letters through the mail. Friends that live nearby usually get phone calls or we meet in person. I think the strongest bonds are in person. There is nothing quite like spending time with someone face to face, but it isn't always possible.

Nowadays, cellphone is the easiest tool to communicate, in the school Im on a couple of years ago, cellphone is already a necessity, so we are allowed to carry it out even during class hours, same thing goes in contacting my friends, I easily got them with their cellphones. Some also are conveniently using their emails, those that always carry out laptops. The best thing and the strongest bond I think is meeting them in person, Its hard to resist when a person personally approaches.

I have heard of this phrase being used many times also. A friend in need, is a friend in deed because alot of people that want something from you, claim to be your friend just to get it from you.

hello, you can use all of that means to keep in touched with a friend but we need to take into consideration the distance that both of you are at. if you live in different places away from another emails and cell phones will do but if you live in the same city that it would be hard to meet from time to time. what is important is we let our friends know that we are there for them if they do need us. have a great day!!!

My close friends can get in touch with me at work, home, cell, house number and in person. I am available to my closest friends at anytime. I don't even care if they call in the middle of the night. Friends are there for one another at any moment of the day or night!
