    Got the title from one of the news long ago. Someone actually mentions he would text message that much. D:

    Anyways, to the poll. Do you prefer to call or text someone? Decided to ask this question because I'm noticing many people at my university having these new cell phones with the key boards. XD

    As for me, I prefer phone calls. One, I'm slow at text messaging. Heck, I never text message unless one of my friends text messaged me first. D: Second, I don't have to wait for a reply and I tend to suck replying to text messages. XD Cell phone tagging can get annoying, but at least I know that my friend or someone else is busy. :P
     
    I've been dating my bf for a month and we have 674 txts back and forth so far o_O; Then my good friends and I txt a lot, so I prob do around 750 for my half of those txts.
     
    I hate talking on the phone, so I usually resort to texting...which I also hate. People always get mad at me because I ignore their calls and messages. Why even do I have a phone?
     
    Oh, and I do ignore people a LOT. And if they send me the same txt message because I haven't replied I get INFURIATED. AND WANT TO RIP OUT THEIR INTESTINES.
     
    ^^ Wow.

    I absoulutely hate calling people after the incident that I got one scary call. ;_;
    Yeah, texting is fun! :D
     
    Earlier this year, I would have never said this, but I prefer texting.
    I ended up getting unlimited text messages earlier this year, and since then, I pretty much use it a lot (though, I don't like sending the first text...I'm weird like that). I think the most messages I've ever sent were like 300 in a month. That really surprised me, as I really didn't expect to text that often. I had debated about getting the 200 messages plan. Good thing I didn't.

    ...You say that like 1,000 text messages is a difficult amount of texts to get to. :(

    Anyway, text messages are my number one way of contact. For one, my phone is always by my side whether I'm at home on the computer, chilling downstairs, or when I'm out of the house. I'm one of those people who check my phone, like, every ten minutes to see if I have texts and take the time to respond to all of them. Then, of course, whenever I hear that I get one, I go check and reply back. I try to respond to every single text I get, regardless of what it is.

    Then there's the phone... which I usually don't answer unless it's someone I know or am expecting a call. I usually just let my voice mail get it and I call them back later if I feel the need to.

    So for me, texting > calling.

    Heck, I just payed the bill for my phone (well, my dad did... but whatever) five or so days ago and I only used 6 of 450 of my anytime minutes, 9 of 5,000 of my nights and weekend minutes, 4 of Unlimited mobile to mobile, and 0 of 399 Rollover Minutes. Where I have 554 of Unlimited texts. :>

    Well, it's difficult for me. D: That and I always think 1,000 as a big number. Yeah, you can call me old. :P

    You can join me on the porch, shaking our canes at the old whippersnappers.

    I don't text at all. My phone has the option, but I never use it. For one thing, I have no one to text, since most of my friends either don't have cell phones or older phones without that option. For another thing, I can't stand writing short messages, and phones have a limited amount of characters you can send (or at least mine does). For another thing, why send short messages all the time about small things when you can talk to the person about everything face-to-face and actually connect to the other person.

    I also don't call anyone, but I prefer talking over the phone than texting.
     
    I text message that much but thats the point in having unlimited minutes & messaging. Never have to worry about that sort of thing.
     
    1000?
    Pffff, that is nothing. I have 3000! XD

    I text a hell of a lot.
    My contract is 300 minutes, 3000 texts.
    I don't use all my texts, because that is crazy, but I do use a lot of them.
     
    Well, one time, between me and kimi, we traded about 350 text messages in a month, but yeah...I've had a 1000 text per month plan, so yeah. xD

    Now normally I seldom check for text messages, I'm not the texting sort of guy usually since I use the internet to keep in touch with people. (and even then, I'm not the one who replies almost instantly, I reply when I get the time.)
     
    you people are crazy i think 1 text is too many!!! it has no point to it cuz when you text you could be calling them cuz there is a phone in your freaking hand!!!!!!!
     
    I text alot I have to say. I rather detest talking on the phone because most of the time I really have nothing to say to the other person, plus I find texting more fun.
     
    I text spam. I have a program with my prepaid card where I text 1 once a month the word plus to get 1000 sms and 1000 minutes to talk and spend all 1000 with 1 or 2 people.
     
    If I had to choose between the two I would rather talk over the phone than send a text message. I hate having the hassle to text back and forth all the time, when I can simply make the call and have more of a direct conversation with a friend or family. Texting would take up more of my time between my recipient on the other end than it would with me actually confronting them. I would text yes, but only when one texts me first, because I would rather simply make the quick phone call and get what I have to say over with. Though, that doesn't mean to say there are times when I rather text one than have a phone call, but that would only be to a certain extent of people that I really don't want to talk with. Still, I'd rather make a phone call than text back and forth most of the time, it's easier for me really.
     
    I really am not a text person much,so would prefer a phone call more over that.
