Phone Calls Or Text?
I remember disliking texts - too impersonal I thought - but now I often find incoming phone calls that interrupt whatever I'm doing an inconvenience so keep in touch with everyone mainly by text. Which do you prefer?

Daughters never answer their phones so I have to text to ask if they can phone me.
Texted one daughter yesterday to ask if she could phone me on her way home from work and she texted me back to say can you tell me what it's about when I see you next Tuesday?
Needless to say I didn't reply, and she didn't phone me.
Neither - Email!
I don't like phone calls as I like to answer or reply in my own time, and don't like letting it ring!
I don't like texts because I leave my phone here there and everywhere and could miss texts for days!
I am on my laptop at various times throughout the day, don't miss emails like I would texts and don't have to answer immediately like a phone call
>>> "Texts are free or very cheap, and is why most people use them rather than make a call. "
That used to be a good reason to text rather than call but these days almost every mobile package includes unlimited free calls to UK numbers anyway.
I generally prefer people to email me, rather than to text me, as that means that I can use a proper keyboard (on my laptop) to type a reply, rather than having to use a fiddly little one on my phone's screen.
I still like to send and receive phone calls though.
