What do you prefer? I have unlimited texts so I like texting more. Of course when I want to have long conversations I would call the person. But overall.. I love texting. It's a better way of communicating while you're in a place where you can't talk out loud or if you have just a quick question.
Which would you rather a person do.. text you.. or call you?

I believe texting is more attractive and prevalent amomg teenager been love due to it's fun and intimacy. There is another situation texting is common used when it' hard to make a call because of some kind of reason.Though texting a message would take some time but I think it's worthy of it. We all enjoy it. Right? my pal.

Aside from beating the cost of calls, I prefer using SMS because I'm more of a one answer per question kind of a person - and I easily get tired of talking...LOL! Also, I like all my communications to be private as much as possible as I don't want anybody overhearing my conversations.

I prefer to talk on the phone rather than text. I think that txting is so impersonal. I would rather hear a human voice that those beeping sounds that tells me that I have a message on my phone. Yeah, texting is a lot cheaper but I like to keep in touch with my friends and family members in a more personal way so I call them when I have something to say to them. I only use txt messaging when I absolutely have to.

Definitely I prefer to talk. Text is something i only use when i know that the person I want to get in touch with won't answer the call. I prefer to call and solve the issue in a minute rather than spending 3 or 4 minutes writing a text message. Plus i hate the pseudo texting language that specially young people is inventing.
what can i say....i'm a traditional when it comes to this, lol

I usually prefer texting. When I call someone they might not answer the phone the first time or the second time, and then I have to keeping on calling them. When I text them, they can answer whenever they have time, and I think that texting is easier and more convenient. But sometimes I prefer to call, it depends on the situation. If I want to chat, I will call the person and if I just want to ask a quick question, I often prefer texting.

i prefer calling if i am using unlimited calls, its easy to communicate with my friends through talk. but for now, i always use unlimited text, i don't have enough fund to afford unlimited calls.

happy mylotting!

i prefer for calling, bcoz in that oly we can see the reaction of the person on the other end,in the text they may take in a wrong sense so they r is a chance for it to deliver in wrong sense...so calling is better according to me

Texting mostly. I find myself texting more. My younger sister is still in college and has a part time office job so it's easier to be in contact with her periodically throughout the day rather than longer periods. It's just easier too. But I also atribute it to the fact that I'm not a real people person...I mean I'm a little shy in person and don't like talking to people over the phone. DOn't get me wrong I'll do it if I have to but if I don't well then I won't.

It really just depends on who the person is and what they want to talk to me about. Most people I would just rather text, as it is quick and easy to do. There are a few peoplethat I would rather talk to on the one. Talking is more meaningful and it is easier to tell what the person is thinking and feeling when actually talking. I like to have more serious conversations with people on the phone or in person, not through text messages.
