I like calling with my family and bf, but with friends I prefer texting especially there are times I do not want to accept some calls from friends at working or sleeping hours. which do you like best? texting or calling?

Most of the time I like sending SMS rather than calling. As you can't make sure whether they are free to pick up the phone at that moment. I don't want to bother them when it's not necessary. Besides, I can send SMS via the net and it's faster and free of charge. I love China

likewise, i prefer calling too specially w/ my bf and my family. but w/ friends, i only prefer texting them specially when the load is limited.. sometimes, i do calling w/ friends too but only when there very important thing involve in it... but that could be seldom.

ahhh.. this is actually tough.. i mean, its really nice to hear my family/friend's voices but i think, like you, that its better to text.. because you get to talk to everybody..unlike when you call someone..you cant respond to other friends or family member.. more socialization and communication with texting.. :)

I text more than I call. I almost never call because it costs more. However, I also seldom text because I'm on prepaid and I am either too lazy to buy load or am too cheap to :D Thanks for the response on my discussion!

i choose calling if its me who will recieve the calls, but i refer texting if im the one who needs to comunicate with them. texting is much cheaper than calls. hehehe :D but i really appreciate recieving calls specially from my love ones!

I think texting is easier for me. I generally organise alot of stuff when I'm at work so I can't really call them all the time. If I'm out and about, I usually call people when I'm driving somewhere as I can't text. Overall, I'm a huge fan of texting people though.

Calling is far better, as i find texting antisocial,plus you dont really get to know people just by texting,with a voice you tend to get to know a person a bit more.

I like most of the time text rather than call because it is best so if it is necessary to make calls to them then i can turn to make a calls so i prefer family and friends to give calls rather that i prefer text messages.

Philippines is known as the texting capital in the world. There are a lot of OFWs(Overseas Filipino Workers) whom are working abroad. Calling is expensive in our country so I prefer to use texting more as its also cheaper and more convenient to use especially if asking directions so its more detailed.

I like texting when it comes to not so important matter but when it is very important I prefer calling.
