What do you do more, text or talk on the phone? (communication, cell phone)

Seems to be the way to go nowadays. Call and they don't like it, text and it 's the same

Not always true. My best friend seems not to like calls and she doesn't seem to be the only one. Plus people ge irritated when you caught them at a wrong time but won't offer to call back (how should I know when one is less busy, I assume people often are).

Text. But I prefer to email for more detailed convos and because I sit at a computer 10+ hours a day.

I hate talking on the phone for any reason.

You should have included an age in your poll. I think younger people (certainly teens) will text far more. I absolutey prefer talking. Texting is far too time comsuming and does not even come close to conveying a true representation of a conversation.

20 Minutes of talk time. For heavy subjects or conversations I will prefer to talk in person, Above a call even.

My last bill was 1400 minutes. I talk to a lot of people...and I'm a busy gal. No time to be sitting there typing out silly text messages.

I do both. Sometimes we're too lazy to pick up the phone and call someone so when you text, it's less time-consuming.

I actually do both. But in having a blackberry I can do messenger, internet and chat as well, which I do it all. Good gawd, what did we do before all this!!!

I don't talk much over the phone. I would text a short sentence or two ( literally) a day.
When I check my monthly usage, it is always under 20 min of talk, most of the time just around 15.
However: I do use a gmail chat (txt). This amounts probably to more than 100 hrs a month
At work I look always very busy... lol

There's two types of people. Those who are are slow or outright refuse to adopt technology and incorporate changes, and those who are adopters of innovation.

Think about the previous generation. "Stop ringing me on this silly device and make a bloody effort to knock on my door."

It's great to have options. It's fine to have preferences, but avoiding it completely is silly.

Exactly.

I use around 300 minutes a month, around 2500 texts. In fact, I see texting yielding to data in the very near future with the proliferation of Facebook / Twitter / FourSquare / etc in the mobile arena.
