I would rather have a phone call. Text messaging is too hard. It's easier just to talk.

Text or call, it doesnt matter too much, it more less depends on where I am at the time.

For the length of the conversation I'd be willing to have? Texting would be better.

Edit:
Also, texting is better for people who are DRIVING, when the message comes through, because they could actually then wait until they were completely stopped and safe to answer.

I saw no mention of dating in the OP. Try being more specific in your explanation if you want a specific response.

texting definitely. i'll let a call go to voicemail but reply to text right away.

a friend of mine always texts before she calls as a way to confirm it's okay to call. i like that!

when i have to say one thing, I use SMS... but when I need say important thing, use the phone...

SMS, simple message, Important things, Phone.

Call is better for me. Only text with son during certain football or hockey games. Then it can be back and forth for awhile!...

Since I have a TELephone and not a TEXTaphone, I prefer to talk! I have people who will text me and I'll call them back with my answer. When they ask why I didn't just text back I tell the truth. In the time it would take me to text the message and send it, I could have called them, given them the message, hung up, and gotten something to eat. And don't tell me to try that T9 texting where the word pops up after a few letters, that's even more confusing! It doesn't matter if it is somebody I just met or somebody in my family!

I'm glad you said it...I went back and re-read it a couple of times...not obvious to anybody but the OP I guess....
