My boys and I always text unless it's an emergency. Then there's the occasional 'I just need to hear your voice' phone call.

Plus, you can edit what you've said before sending it.

I'm 50/50 on this one.

When I want to talk on the phone with someone, I sometimes will text them and see when would be convenient.

I do prefer talking on the phone.

That's very considerate of you to do that Rocket. I'd rather text so I can edit what I'm going to say.

I use both. My sister and I call each other all the time. I have a sister in Arizona and we use WhatsApp to talk to each other. Phone calls are okay but like with my sister in Alberta we end up being on the phone for at least 2 hours.

I'm not much of a phone person myself. I'm brutally honest, so sometimes a text is better so I don't get myself in trouble. At least with a text I can edit myself.

I text most of the time. When I want to chat I'd rather do it in person. I'm not much of a phone person either.
