how often do you txt vs how often you call people instead?
i'd say 90% of my phone is for txt....the only time i talk on the phone really is when my gf gets back home from my house to see if she's alive and not dead.

I dunno, maybe 50-50 for me? Sometimes I'm just too lazy to hit a bunch of keys, so I just call. Then you don't have to message back and forth for like 10 mins too.

If I think it's going to be a more indepth discussion, or involve me having to explain something, I'll call. If it's just briefly letting someone know something 'will be at X in 50 minutes to meet you', 'running late be there soon' or whatever I'll just text.
I'd say probably 60/40 text/calls.

Lol, and none the less, it turns in to a text war all too easily

texts... calling cellphones seems sorta rude to me sometimes because you dont know what they are doing and you might interupt... lol
Some people seriously hate txts though... one friend wont respond to my texts any more, demanding that I call her instead.... fuck that! Texts let you say things that arnt worth a phone call.

Dunno about anyone else, but I hate doing continuous streams of texting, my thumb starts to get sore after a few sentences. If it's going to evolve into a long discussion I'd rather just make a 2 minute call and get it over with.

definatly calls. i NEVER send text messages. imo it's stupid to press hundreds of times those buttons to write 2 sentences.
other that that i pay to send sms while i can call for free most of the time both fixed or mobile networks
I think it's kind of strange that we now consider calling people on the phone rude.
Anyway, it's cheaper for me to text than call most of the time but if it's a long discussion I'll still call.#
BTW, why does everyone not like using the predictive dictionary thing? Or is that just a Nokia thing?

Calls I hate texts and from relationships I've had in the past texting one another isn't healthy as words don't set the mood and can easily be misinterpreted.

I rarely text, but I just bought a smartphone (throw some d's on that bitch) with a slide out keyboard thing, so I'll probably be puttin that to good use.

i probably text more, i only call if i want an instant reply or that ive got a lot of credit on my phone.
I can't stand when people insist on texting instead of just talking on the phone. I once had a date with a girl and it was set up over a stream of text messages. It was starting to get annoying so I called and she didn't pick up. It's almost as bad as when people at work will send you an email to tell you something when they are sitting 3ft away from you.
