Introduction

Personally, I think that texting is better.

Example 1

First, it’s faster. In a text you only type what’s important, whereas phone conversations are never that short. It usually takes me a few minutes to solve a problem or get an answer when I text people but way longer when I call.

Example 2

Second, texting is more polite because a person that I want to talk to can be busy at the moment or it might not be comfortable for him or her to talk. Also, a text gives a person time to think and this makes for a better answer, whereas in a phone call sometimes people would feel pressured to answer right away and say something they wouldn't say, if only they had some time to think things over.

Conclusion

So that’s why I usually choose to text people.
