Text or call?

[Yarik]

When you want to say something to someone quickly, would you rather call them or text them?

For me, it depends on the situation. If it's something important that the person must be immediately informed of, I would call them. But if it can wait and it's not on the first line of the day, I would text them. Something to consider when texting people is how long it would take them to see your message.

I don't like talking on the phone, so I prefer to text. The only person I talk to on the phone is my mom, she doesn't like texting. I also talk to my wife on the phone when she's on her way home from work.

When it comes to communication, I normally always tend to text rather than do a call. To be completely honest with you, I can talk on the phone if I absolutely have to, but it's the last resort for me. Over time, with the world-changing and becoming more technological, I feel like this has caused us as a human civilization to become socially anxious in some ways of actually speaking to other people. It's much easier for some of us to text rather than to call. I'm sure many others will agree with me on this.

Most of the times, I prefer texting to calling. Don't get me wrong, but I always put into consideration how some of my friends will feel when my calls become the reason they are forced to be awake when they should be sleeping.

Calling is great for emergencies, as you said, but I enjoy texting and getting replies instead of being the one to place those calls.

When I have to deliver short messages like "call me when you are free" "sent you funds" "I am home" etc. I send texts, however, when I have long messages to deliver, I make a call. I also make a call when I have to deliver a message and get a response instantly.

I am the kind of person that hates call most of the time because it distracts me from doing every other work that I'm doing online which is why I prefer chatting or text messages because it will give me time to run other things without being distracted.
