Text vs Phone Call - Which Is Better?

to talk to someone is pressure? How you handle then other stuff if talking is pressure. What you do in front of a girl? Will you text her?

[@VybeX-]

@@Skytalker777 yes. talking on the phone means that you're accepting to be present throughout the entirety of the call even when your attention is elsewhere, or you just plain don't feel like talking. naturally you'd feel like you're being rude.

Both are equally important if used properly. Somethings call for a direct phone call and some text. I do more texting the calling because I have done customer service call centers for 10 years and I really burned myself out hearing people wanting to hear their own voices in the phone. Bam!

[@dre963]

Bronze Heart yep call centers did it for me too! All I can hear now is complain, complain, complain! Texting gets straight to the point because you can actually form a concise thought. Talking comes with too much distraction at times, like parents having to yell at or to their kids in the background lol

[@VybeX-]

@@dre963 same. if i ever work in customer service again, its gotta be via chat

[@kaizersolze]

Texting is the best way to have a misunderstanding because the receiver determines how it is perceived. With calls you don't have that problem.

[@Oniesu]

I prefer phone calls cuz text don’t show any emotion or anything it’s to dry for me and it feels awkward sometimes when you trying to express something but it ends up so bland. I would rather talk so I could hear the emotions in someone’s voice if they enjoying the conversation and hear them laugh if it’s a joke instead of seeing laughing emojis when they can be just looking like stop texting me or really

[@KoolSocietyFilms]

Ace Wolf emojis ?? 😂

[@tonyp9313]

Emotions aside. Texting. I don't want to talk and waste time. Texting allows me to get my points across faster to multiple people. It helps me set up events I want to go to and places. Like I'll talk when I meet up with friends. Don't want to talk to them when I am at home because it's a time waster. Also you can set your cell on silent so no noise either. It's really about how quick I can contact people now and many of them. It's just better in my opinion.

[@MaJeSTiCz0]

Agree I was texting a chick for a few days then jump right to phone calls

[@sinceredatruth]

I agree with you. Substituting emojis isnt the same with real emotions.

[@sinceredatruth]

​@IceBearKooley thats not real emotions. Your communication probably sucks.

[@shaysongtress8247]

I can't hang up on someone when I don't feel like talking anymore. That is why I love texting

[@larrykuehn1972]

[@tonyp9313]

With texting I get to decide if I want to talk to that said person or not. Talking can't do that because you are forced to talk to said individual.

[@nikkijohnson5249]

Text messages to me are good for quick questions or a convo at work when you're unable to speak. I agree with Aida because a convo is personal. You can speak to me in person but not over the phone? I agree with each side.

[@snazzyd8866]

IDEA: bring the Snapchat concept to phone calls that auto-end after 30 seconds. Make your point and make it quick. Phone calls meet text messages...boom!

[@Violexie-wb7op]

Phone calls because I am a busy person. So i can multitask on the phone, handle my business while getting something else done. Through text you have to stop what you are doing just to give someone an answer or solution. Then I wind up putting it off because I often can't just stop what I'm doing. Phone calls just work better for me and my lifestyle.

[@deez26788]

Violexie0071 I agree people who actually work for a living prefer a quick phone call rather a text. Cause I may not see a text for hours, by then what's the point.

[@tonyp9313]

Not true. With Texts I don't have to answer that person back asap. I can wait. Now with phone calls I have to either have the device stuck to my ear and and do chores. I put on earphones to solve that problem, but I am still talking to that said person. Also with texts the screening of calls is a lot better because they tell me if it's an emergency or not. With calls all I see is the number and they don't leave a voice mail. If it does go to Voice mail I may not check it for at least a day or so depending on how busy I am.

[@1derlandbound]

For me, it depends on who is on the other line. I can talk to some people because they get to the point of the call. Others drag out the conversation for-freaking-ever. They'll do stuff like say, "alright, Imma letchu go and I'll talk to you later" then immediately after say, "oh, but did you hear about so-and-so getting locked up/dying/getting married?" Nope, but *text me the details* and we will discuss it another time. lol I _have_ to text some people because talking to them is like pulling teeth with their short ass attention spans. I'm too long winded to constantly repeat myself because the person on the other line talking to everybody in their immediate area while I'm on the other line.

[@dre963]

Texts over calls because I can answer at my leisure. My problem with cellphones is the assumption that since someone calls I should be available to answer or call back within a certain amount time. I feel like a hostage in that scenario. I guess coming from a era before cellphones were commonplace spoiled me. I’m from the time where you had to come home and check the answering machine to get missed calls. This was also before caller ID so you had to leave a message so that I even knew you called to begin with. Tony was right ppl repeat themselves way too often. I have a great memory so I will remember if you told me the same story 5 weeks ago lol

Knowing damn well they got the message. Important convo should be a phone call/face time/meet in person to talk. Brief dialog are for texting

Tony P - Nah, I’m talking about a back and forth about a specific topic. In the time it takes to finish that back and forth through text, it could’ve been over twice as fast through a call. As far as someone getting off topic during a phone call, I personally know how to give a short response to the subject that’s off topic, then immediately tell that person that I’m busy and have to go, but it’s not like that’s gonna happen in EVERY phone call anyway.

[@tonyp9313]

@@jwdathefax377 If you are talking back and forth on 1 topic that means that is already taking you a while. Lets say you do manage to talk about a certain topic within that 1 min of the phone call, people are not just going to say, yeah I got to go now. You'll be staying on that phone for at least 1 hour discussing other topics. However on text I can stop on just the one said topic or have a choice to continue other topics. Maybe it will take me 10 min back and forth on 1 topic during text. Ok but now you have to account for the other 50 min that you are still on the cell talking various topics.

It's whatever a person preference is. I have text conversations with some people, and call with others.

[@mikayd]

I'm all about the phone calls, texts can be so rude and intrusive, follow me for a second. When a text comes in and the notification pops up your conditioned to look at it and read it, now what if I didnt want to speak to this said person, maybe this person has a issue of negativity or you simply don't want to talk to him/her for whatever reasons, but doing so puts me in a certain mood, maybe it's because I gave this person my time and peace of my space, reading text can sometime present an unwelcome environment. With a phone call I can simply ignore it and never pick up and never know what the person wanted, I can choose to not be bothered. I currently have 10 unanswered texts and I'm not inclined to answer any of them, heck they could be from a month ago, no when I do reply it's a few hours or a few days later. That's how important they are to me. It's not a form of communication I value, if you text me I'm almost certain I will not reply heck I might not even read it. But if a reply is sent it will be days or weeks later.

Technology (texting) has caused great damage with the beauty of "conversation!" We have lost the art of "talking to each other." Text messaging is appropriate in some cases and in others it can be insensitive and out of place. If an individual takes the time to pick up their phone and call you. The proper response would be is to return their "phone call" ....not text message them. Text messaging is also "impersonal" as well. Let's get back to talking to each other.

Texting over talking. It's quicker and more efficient if I want to set up events or even to pick up food as I go over someones house. Like if I want to go to the cinema with 5 of my friends. Calling them to ask them could take me as much as 20 min. Now do that same thing in text where I copy and paste, that takes less than 1 min. Same with ordering food for people. Also when texting I don't have to answer them right away, I could watch tv or play single player video games etc. Now with talking you pretty much have to put in more effort and basically can't be multitasking as well as texting. It be something as simple as doing house chores. Texting for me.
