I prefer calling. Short, sweet, and over in a minute or so. Texting just seems so drawn out when I have to wait a fair amount of time for an answer. Would much rather just quickly call someone, have a quick convo and be done with it.

Always Text if i can help it! I can't generally be bothered to talk to people over phone if i can help it, texting is far easier!

It depends on the subject matter and urgency. Generally I don't mind texting if it's a quick check in type of thing or confirmation of plans etc.

If we cannot meet face to face I prefer phone calls to resolve problems if video chat is not an option.

I prefer texting, I have social anxiety issues, so texting is just generally easier for me.

Calling is good, but when you have not much to say maybe texting is better.

Texting definitely, calling is better for having full blown conversations rather than quick questions or whatever sure, but I can't stand the lack of body language, I can never tell when someones actually done yapping and its my turn to talk :v

I prefer texting when I'm out in public. It seems when you're talking on the phone out in public everyone looks at you funny.

I know exactly what you mean. I have a tendency to also talk a bit too loud when I'm on the phone. I've been told that I become completely unaware of my volume when I'm on a call.

Texting for me too but I don't hate phone calls. It's just easier for me to think of certain responses and prepare for something when you can read it and think about it

Neither. I prefer emails lol We only have a cell phone for emergencies & I cannot imagine having to text. Typing all those thoughts on a tiny little keypad is not my idea of fun. For the sake of this question, I will pick Texting as I too am an introvert & I need to write it. Though, I do call my mom often & we can talk for literal hours about nothing lol

I prefer texting most of the time. But I also like to talk to my friends, especially those living overseas once in a while. I love to hear their voice and see their face.
