Title: Talk or text
Post by: melodylogan45 on October 05, 2017, 03:55:36 am
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:

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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!

Post by: natashaspy on October 10, 2017, 04:41:56 pm
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.
