Do you prefer to text or talk when communicating on your phone?
When you text, do you type with your fingers or talk into the phone to transcribe?

[clio]

I'd rather text. It's usually a question I want to ask and I don't have type for a long conversation so I text. I type using my fingers.

I tend to text more these days, as I figure people can pick it up when they have a chance, rather than me potentially interrupting them with a call. I type it in - thank goodness for predictive text, that does make things a lot quicker now.

I prefer to talk. Too many times, I've seen or received texts that are misinterpreted because you can't put inflection into written word.
When I do have to text, I use my fingers. I don't know how to dictate text into my phone. I know the phone has that capability, but I'm very technology resistant/illiterate.

Well, I PREFER to talk on the phone, but more often these days I text. If I'm in the car, I dictate to Siri, because I can do that essentially hands-free. Otherwise, I type it in. Like Cheryl, I am thankful for the word suggestions that are offered.

[lexiemom]

I prefer to text and I type when I text.

[luvnwdwgal]

I prefer to talk, but if I can't then I speak text.

[KMB733]

Most of the time I prefer to text. Most of the time, I just have a quick question that doesn't require a lengthy phone call. I usually type with my fingers. I've tried to speak a text one time and my phone didn't quite understand me!

[JackieB]

texting...I type unless I'm driving and then I talk

[HiddenMickey]

I'm not a big phone or text user. I text more with my kids because they tend to respond faster that way, or iMessage them on my iPad mini. I phone everyone else.

I used one or two finger texting....my phone has a slide out keyboard. It is not a smart phone.

I hate talking on the phone, so I prefer to text. I type it out, because talk-to-text doesn't use correct punctuation and it drives me nuts.

[DebiDebiDebi]

TEXT! I talk on the phone all day at work, so talking on the phone after work is just not something I enjoy. I love the convenience of texting; I can send out a message and when the recipient has a moment, they can answer back. If there is urgency involved, I will, of course, call. Otherwise texting is my communication of choice. Typically, I type, but do use the voice to text on occasion.

[Dani S]

I also prefer to text. I always type. But the dictation can come in handy at times.

[Tara O'Hara]

I do both but I am a horrible texter. I use just my index finger.

[Cam22]

I usually text and I type.
