I text more than I talk. I use phone texts, Blackberry messenger and Yahoo! Messenger. I have built up a ton of roll over minutes because of it.
I like to text more if it's not a pressing/complicated matter. I hate talking on the phone unless it's really necessary...never have liked just having casual conversations over the phone unless it's someone I don't talk to often and want to catch up.
just depends. If i have something that can be answere in a couple of back and forths, then i text. Otherwise, i call.
I hate playing phone tag. Send a text, they reply when they're free. If I want to have a conversation, I call. If it's just a quick thing, I text.
I like to text. I can just ask my question and be done with it and not have to possibly have a long conversation that you could have avoided by just texting. I have 300 whenever minutes and I only use 20 min on average per month.
You're just lazy and a bum who can't text fast, so you're hatin' on the texters. THERE IS A TIME AND A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING! Texting good when: sitting on a bench, not doing something important, standing up. Texting not good when: Driving, listening to someone talk, pushing no_answer's mom on the swing ... it's so WARM... the feeling... of relief... not worried about a leather chair... aaand... *aaaahhhh*... and I'm done. Where is juicystream when you need him?
I started a thread about this in another forum. I proposed that phones have an option (or app) where you put the preference next to a phone contact of "Text-Only" or "Okay to Call". I have a group of peers where I dont know what the HELL is the best way to get through to any of them. The absolute worst is when YOU yourself only have a limited text plan. And dip****s want to you 5 different texts to say 1 message in difference pieces, making the overage charges add up: "Oh alright" "That sounds fine" "I'll see you then" "Cool?" "Let me know" rrrrrrrrrrgh I am the most non-talkative person ever. I only average like 20 live spoken words a day. Most of them used during saying my fast food order. And this text based communication even gets on my nerves.
I'm on the phone at least 1.5 hours a day talking to old friends back home and people from my past. At work, I'm on the phone maybe another 2 hours. But I do enjoy the impersonality of the text. How else can I ask a girl, if I can tap that. I do on the phone sometimes, but the silence is awkward. I do like to order my pizza online though.
