Do you prefer to talk or text your friends? I like texting friends. Folks are
so busy these days, sometimes it good to be able to communicate in whatever
way you can just to keep in touch.
Plus, I already talk on the phone 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.
-
I prefer to text, but I understand why some people prefer to talk.
-
Come to think of it, it really depends; if it's something that's going to take multiple texts or if I need to say something that might get misconstrued then I actually prefer to talk.
-
Really neither. I'm not a phone person. I don't like to text or talk on the phone. If I had to choose it depends on the situation.
-
I like to text and talk both equally. There are some people that I would rather text because they like to talk your ear off and I really do not like talking a real long time on the phone. :monkey:
-
I like to talk, then mo misunderstanding and what being text.
-
If I have something like a 10 minute window and I know that the person I want to communicate with has to talk for at least 20 minutes or longer, then by all means, I'm texting.
I carefully check my text message before sending so that the message is clear.
-
I prefer to talk, but sometime I prefer to text if the person I am talking to likes to talk too long I rather text them.
-
I prefer to talk. However, if I can't reach the person, I will text.
-
i prefer texting..a lot simpler...not as personal though
-
It depends, Texting is quick and easy but sometimes I just want to hear the sound of a friends voice
-
I text but am very slow at it, if it is going to be a long conversation I had rather talk
-
I prefer Texting, but I use the voice to text feature of my phone so I guess it's really talking.
-
I mostly text folks, but if I have something to say that requires a longer conversation, I will call.
-
It really depends on the specific situation. As someone earlier kind of said, sometimes you just need to convey a short and simple bit of information and don't have a lot of time for ongoing chit-chat. In that circumstance texting is ideal! But texts with context or voice inflection can sometimes be misinterpreted and can also fall victim to auto-correct changing your words, or fat fingers turning legitimate context into gibberish.
There is a time and place for both. But please do not text behind the wheel!
-
I prefer text specially with having 2 toddlers at home. it makes it easier. My current phone has a speaker problem to so its better to text me. that way I know exactly what is being said.
-
It depends, if it is something short I need to say or if I am in a loud place text but if I really have something to say talk.
-
It depends on who it is and what the conversation is about. With some people, it is a lot quicker to text than to call because you can't get off the phone with them.
-
text all the way. I can't even remember the last time I talked on the phone with a friend.
-
I would prefer to text. I hate talking on the phone. I did that when I worked-got so sick of listening to people *bleep* and moan all day.
-
I like talking in person but I would rather text than talk over the phone.
-
It depends on the situation and if I feeling like being in the phone for a length of time. I have a sister that will only text and sometimes it is really annoying as she never stops
-
I prefer to text it is easier and I can do it anytime and not worry about bothering them.
I will callmy mother and my best friend. sometimes I need to hear their voices and to laugh! :pumpkin: :rainbow: :peace: :bunny:
-
it's a lot easier to text usually
-
I prefer to talk on the phone when it is something personal but if it a quick question or some thing that only requires a quick answer texting is great. Sometimes some on e will text and we might spend 20 minutes doing it when a 5 min. call would take care of every thing. But if hubby is watching a game on TV and daughter in law wants to just visit we text and don't bother our hubbies. Although there may be a little snickering going on.
-
Sometimes I'm lazy so I always prefer to text rather than talk :)
-
I prefer to talk then text much more simple and faster from my point.
-
Texting is usually easier - you can do it whenever you have a free minute (which the person you want to call usually doesn't) and the person you are trying to reach can read the text whenever they way. I prefer Face Time to either calling or texting though. That was you can see the expressions on the faces of those you are calling.
-
I prefer talking versus texting. More peronal
-
text , yes i perfer text .
-
There are a few people that I prefer to text with. There are times when I prefer to text if it's just a quick short message that needs to be sent. But in general I prefer to talk. Different people are different and I generally end up doing whichever other people prefer.
-
Either way works for me, but if I'm in a hurry a quick call is better. :)
-
:) I am old school. I would rather talk. :)

-
Talking but some times people mumble and I can't understand them so those people I text. lol
-
i like to text because its easy for me to express myself in a text then to talk on the phone
-
I talk over the phone when I have a severe emergency or need to have a lengthy conversation. In all other cases, I prefer to text.
-
I choose to text, cause most of my communications with folks at work. Politeness to send a text that doesn't need a quick response!
-
I prefer to text. That way you can think about what you're going to say first and you don't have to focus on one person/thing at a time.
-
I really prefer talking on the phone and only use texting only when i am at work or around other people that i don't want them to know my personal information.
