Texting or calling?

7mo ago

I prefer calling over texting because things can often be resolved much more quickly. However, for simple and easily understandable topics, texting is the perfect choice. I also understand that many people dislike calling and prefer to exchange several emails instead of making a short phone call. How about you? What are your thoughts on this?

Texting. It’s more straightforward, you have more time to think about what you are going to say. But the truth is that call has a better conversion, by far.

Depends, calling a lot of times can provide a lot more data. Texting is easier

It’s an interesting topic, even more now with the hype around Airchat that sort of mixes both « voice and text ». It feels like it s also a generational thing. We went from calls to texts to voice messaging.

@toni_pm Good thoughts, you could be right. Personally, I prefer calls over voice messages because I don't like them when they become too long.

I prefer calling more it has more personal touch and you can build a better connection through it.

Always Calling! I agree with your point! In the text, you do not know in which tone you are talking or sometimes you cannot convey. Calling takes less time, efforts and it has accuracy.

@tamsin I'm also not a fan of very long messages.

Benny @tracker_3

I'm going old school and say calling. You can get more than an answer via calling, such as tone etc.

Texting is always the primary. If I know that there really is something to say or talk about then I’ll call.
