Title: Do you like to talk on your cell or do you prefer to text?
Post by: melodylogan45 on May 22, 2015, 04:32:51 pm
I  talk for 8 hours a day at work so I do not talk much during the weekend, but I do sometimes on the weekends. I prefer to text unless it is important.

Completely depends on the situation....short stuff, text, long stuff, talk.

For short conversations, texting is good. However long conversations I rather do talking... Don't want to see walls and walls of texts

I had to talk on the phone for so many years when I was working that I don't like to talk on the phone very much now.  I don't really care for texting, either.  I do IM on the computer with friends and family.

I prefer talking in person as opposed to talking on the phone or texting.  To me it is friendlier and I can then be sure that what I say will not be misunderstood.

It depends on what kind of communication is necessary as to which I prefer, calling or texting.

Quick texts just to remind the kids of something are great.  Or even to share a quick picture.  Texting has become very much a part of my daily communication.

Calls are best when it is a conversation.

Depends on the person but I like texting. Most of my friends have little kids and texting seems to be an easy way to keep in touch without being intrusive. I'm always afraid I'm going to wake their kids up or something if I call.

I am not much of a phone talker to begin.  For years I spent my days at work on the phone so never got into the habit of talking on the phone for very long for personal stuff.  I only use a cell phone for emergencies (we have no cell coverage where I live and it is spotty at best in the county.) Have only, believe it or not, texted twice in my life.  Pretty low tech life I lead.

I prefer to text, as do most of my family and friends. However, if it starts to get lengthy, then I call.

Post by: davidh121 on May 24, 2015, 08:47:12 am
Depends on the context. For referencing back or to respond at my own pace, text and e-mail is better for me. However, if I know this is going to be a lot of back and forth, calling is still oftentimes easier. Some people just cannot appropriately use e-mail and text to get out their point, so I just call with some people.

I prefer talking on my cell phone as opposed to texting.  Texting takes more time even though you can do it by voice.  Talking directly to the person for me is more personal.   :)

Both; but texting is usually a lot easier when you just want to get something out quick.

I prefer to text, I prefer to use the ATM.  Lots of times it is just a lot quicker, I don't really like to waste time on small talk with people I don't know.  I think sometimes that cashiers, tellers feel like they have all day here anyway so they chit chat about nothing.

I'd rather talk than text.  To me, texting is like talking to an automated phone system. I'd rather just talk to a person.

I mainly use it for texting.  I very rarely use it to call someone, especially since I have a landline.

I prefer talking, but I end up mostly texting, because that's usually how I communicate with my siblings who live very far away.

I really don't like texting at all but I am getting a little better at it than I was.  I'll never be good at it though.  I prefer talking mostly.

I prefer to hear the voice of a loved one on the phone. I will text if I have too, but I do not care for it. It is so impersonal.

I prefer to text so that I can accomplish other things as needed. It is more efficient.

Depends on who I am talking to and if it is something simple or something that would require a long conversation. Honestly I really don't like doing either. Lol.

I prefer to text. If I'm going to talk to someone, I'd rather do it in person. If it's long distance, then I'd still rather text.

I do both talk and text quite frequently, but I prefer to talk rather than text. Then again it depends on the situation, mood and where I am.

It really depends on what i need to let the other person know. I would normally prefer just calling though you get to a decision a lot quicker.

I like to talk on my cell phone.  I have a flip top phone and I do not have time to text.  I tried it once and could not figure how to send.  Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe. :)

Prefer texting definitely - I worked in all centers for years prior to retiring so I guess because of that I lost my taste so to speak for talking on the phone.  Anyone I would want to chat on the phone with has passed away anyway so I prefer to text because my sons and I use texting for staying in touch with each other if one or more of us is out shopping or whatever.
