Hi everybody.
I personally prefer to message than call to my all local friends. i find it easy to message. when i am in meeting then i cant pick/make any call so prefer to message.
second reason which is most important is cost cutting. there are many other reason to do SMS.
we can reduce our mobile usage up to 50%.
but when i need to contact in urgent then i prefer to call.
it is my opinion and my habit.
whats your thought ?
what you do SMS or Call?
pl feel free to share all myLots friends your ideas.

For me it's better to call coz you can say everything in several minutes than to write those SMS. But most of my friends prefer to write messages so I do the same. I remember the case when we communicated with SMS for a whole hour. But if my friend just called me our talk would take 5 minutes.

Most of the time i do SMS, coz am always on the go. But whenever it really urgent, I need the answer as soon as possible, or I need to really connect to the emotional scale of the person, I call them.
Everything has its pros and cons. SMS may restrict you from expressing more of your emotions. You may never really know whether the person is already offended or mad or whatever. On the other hand, it is convenient coz you can send a message while you're in the middle of another task. Unlike if you are engaged in a call, you lose precious moments and you can't do it especially if you're in the middle of something important.

I actually perfer calls over sms... That's why I got a "unlimited calling" plan... I don't have pre set amount of minutes, I can call whoever I want for as long as I want... It's better that way for me... Also, I got that plan because I use it for my work as well... I never know who's gonna call me, or who I have to call.. Nice thing about that plan is that "unlimited messaging" is included as well... A buddy of mine is like you... Not that it's good or bad, it's just a personal preference... He emails me or messages me if he wants to tell me something, then I call him back on his house phone to respond to messages he sends me... I know it's funny situation but well, he just perfers messaging & I rather "Talk" to person... That's all...

I personally prefer to message people too. It's quick and easy and only costs me 10p per message. Another reason I prefer to sms people is that if I call them we'll end up talking and talking and using up all my phone credit. If I need a reply urgently then i'll phone them, and I always phone my mom because she doesn't know how to text. I've shown her dozens of times but she just doesn't get it. Ultimately I think that in most situations texting is just more efficient.
