It depends on my mood. Sometimes I do not feel like talking on the phone but I want to make contact with the person, so I will text, but I think talk takes more effort and shows more interest then texting.

I prefer to text more than talk. It;s easier and more convenient. I talk when needed lol. I heard someone say that people think you brought a phone so that they can reach you but I brought it for my convenience not yours lol.

I vastly prefer texting, I would almost never talk if I had my way, it stresses me out for some reason. I can express myself so much better by writing than by speaking.

Being of the older generation, it's sometimes hard to adapt to all this new technology, but I admit, I do love texting.  It's so quick and easy.  My children and grandchildren will respond to a text so much quicker than a phone call.  If you have a question or some business to attend to, texting can be quick and efficient, and I don't feel like I am interrupting their lives.  But if the communication involves a long explanation or a personal touch, calling is by far better.

I have to say I text more because my family lives across the country and in totally different time zones than my own so it's easier to send a text than to try and call them and wind up waking them up where they think it's some kind of family emergency.

It depends on the party. I prefer to text business contacts. But, when it comes to friends & family, it's usually quicker to make a call, than type out a huge block of text.

I'm almost never comfortable talking on the phone - feels really uncomfortable for whatever reason. I prefer texting SO much more over talking on the phone. If I want to talk to someone with voice, I prefer to have video as well. So usually with friends it's either texting or Skyping with video.

Talk with really good friends.  Text with people I am not so close to.

I prefer talking if I need to do something quickly, but I still find myself texting or IMing people most frequently, especially when I'm multitasking. Especially for work purposes, the text/IM is my audit trail too as my calls aren't recorded.
