    That's my number one issue with texting. People get back to you when it's convenient for them. I want a response ASAP not two days later.

    Kind of the same here. I call someone, they don't answer. I then get a text later saying "did you call me?"

    Texter, the extent of the phone conversations I have with my boyfriend is "I'm here come out".

    In person.

    99% of the time, if it's important, it usually can be done this way. Obvious exceptions are long distance and emergencies. But even then, I'd much prefer a call.

    I interpret calling as more serious than texting, and will treat it as such. Texting is acceptable, but it shouldn't be the primary choice of exchange. I like to hear people; remember there is a human being behind that glowing screen. You can't hear little giggles or happy tones with a text.

    Sometime I would like to become a caller and sometime a texter... It depends upon my mood and condition...

    Bit of both, but I'm definitely more of a texter than a caller.

    Both, really. I call to confirm things quickly (a phone call is more pressing, so getting a response is more likely) or to have important conversations (except for with my mother, who's seemingly always in a meeting when I call), but in general texting is easier for extended but light conversations.

    That assumes the person on the other end is free, or that they're talking only to one person. It's not like it's antisocial or unreasonable.

    Texter most of the time. However, there is one exception with one of my friends. We pretty much never text but we can call each other for hours.

    I prefer calling over text messaging because I get the response I need without having to wait. I don't really communicate with people unless I need something from them OR if I start missing them (my friends, family, other people I need to maintain good relationships with). The latter is usually through text and then we'll see if it's more convenient to call.

    1. I can send cutesy emojis

    6. I can ignore people if I want to

    I'm a texter. Mostly because I'm not good at talking on the phone, I feel it often becomes awkward, especially when it comes to saying goodbye.
    BUT, for some reason, I love skyping with people. I guess it all depends on who I talk to, though.

    Definitely a texter... when I call someone I usually choke and end up being quite till they talk first. Too awkard. I prefer Texting because I can think before sending and change what i need to. Calling leaves no room for mistakes.
    love you all

    With me, I am a huge caller! I truly hate texting on the phone unless I truly have to because of family members or online forums, but other than that, I call most of the time!

    (I feel the exact opposite of you lol)

    Texting to me is kinda pointless. I could either spend 20 minutes going back and forth with you asking what you want from the store, or I could call you and take 30 seconds to ask you and then hang up and get it.

    I see a lot of people have played the introvert card as a pretext for texting. I'm kidding, of course, as to "playing a card." I'm an introvert, though somewhat extroverted on the surface, and it's so much easier to talk. I especially prefer talking if I know the person.

    Is it any wonder land line use has become so cheap here in the U.S.? They've even added on some great international packages for a handful of dollars a month.

    Also, if you're selling something, are you going to do that all by text? You wouldn't have someone come to your place or meet you somewhere, all organized through a text. You need to talk to them on the phone and get a feel for the situation. I have chosen not to sell things to certain people because I did NOT get a good gut feel from them from the voice conversation. Voice is important and it is studied by experts for so many reasons.

    I'm glad to hear this. It's the only way to go with friends IMO.

    I prefer to talk on the phone so I would consider myself more of a caller rather than a texter.

    I like the fact that with a phone call you get an immediate response from the other person rather than having to wait for them to reply to a text.

    In general I am more of a texter. It's easier to multitask that way. It depends on the person. If I am dating someone, we probably will talk quite a bit on the phone along with massive amounts of texting. For the most part, I just text. I wouldn't call up my best friend to chit chat. I would also call my mom because she doesn't text.

    If I need an immediate response, I will call.

    Texter. It's easier to process and translate my thoughts through text.

    Neither. I don't own a cell phone.

    I'd usually rather deal with people in person. In most cases, the quicker, the better. I want to get back to watching anime whatever I'm working on.

    I remember using a cell phone at college; I didn't like texting, except when I took advantage of misunderstandings.

    I often use email for business, but this really depends on the situation. Sometimes it's better to sort things out in person. Plus I think it's a bonus to see me!
