Call or TXT

I prefer to txt instead of call because it gives me time to think of what I am going to say and is generally cheaper since it costs me $0.25 flagfall and $0.35 for each 30 second block. That means that if i make a 1 second call it costs me $0.60. So that's why I txt more than call. How about you?

Hello again, I do prefer text messages than calling and I agree with you that it is cheaper to text than to call. And if I were in a public place I don't want to answer any calls that's why i turn my cellphone into silent mode for me not to be tempted in answering calls in a not safe place. Not so wise isn't it? And you call you have to place the cellphone nearer to your ears or the skin of your face, maybe it might affect the skin. Thanks God bless.

Hello! I'm not sure what you mean when you say "not to be tempted in answering calls in a not safe place". Why wouldn't it be safe to answer your own phone in public? Unless someone tries to steal it? I don't really have a problem with using public telephones though, but I haven't used many before. I can only recall using them once to make a call.

That's true, it is rather difficult to convey tone and expression in txt. And it's faster to speak what you need to say instead of typing.

Hello, I also prefer text because it is far cheaper than calling someone. If I were to call someone for a few seconds, guaranteed it would cost me at least $1. Texting would only cost about $0.25 per text, so it is quite cheap. Make sure you have a good day, Happy Lotting!!

I prefer to text too. Because, like you say, I can it gives me time to think about what I say(write). But sometimes actually just calling somebody can save you money, of course it depends on your phone company. If your gonna have a chat with somebody calling would be better, because when you send several messages the cost can add up to more then what the call with the same conversation would cost. But if your gonna just inform someone of something a text could be cheaper. But as I said it depends on your phone company.
