Text vs Call

✔️ Better in public transport or other public places. Speaking loudly on the phone when you’re surrounded by strangers can be really annoying for the latter.

✔️ If you’re in a quiet place (anti-cafe, office, classroom, etc) texting is a better option in order not to disturb the other people around.

✔️ Text messages serve as a great reminder tool: “Remember to buy eggs”, “We are meeting at 6”, “I miss you”.

✔️ When you just don’t feel energetic enough to chat on the phone but still eager to gossip a bit, texting is perfect.

✔️Safety report. Let your beloved ones that you’ve arrived somewhere safely by sending a message. You won’t wake them up and care about their feeling at the same time.

Text 📱 or Call 📲?
