Text vs Talk

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.

 

If it's a short message, I text. Something long or urgent to say, I call.

 

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 was the same way about 6 months ago. Now I just prefer a quick text, and of course, your mother.

 

I ♥ OP

 

LOL!!!!! :grin:

 

..I dont what to choose on the poll..

Is peeing in pants good or bad?

 

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?

 

If peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis

 

If it's good enough for Miles Davis, it's good enough for me.

 

yeah, i text. i only call when i need to talk.

 

The first thing I did when I switched from my Motorola to a PrimeCo phone was get unlimited texting.

 

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.
