Texting or calling?

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?

I am more of a call guy when someone gives me his phone number. Via phone you can trigger emotions and build a personal relationship.

Texting. Itβs 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.
@samuel_rondot That is absolutely right.

@juliettebegue_ Many people hate voice messages. I only like them when they're short :D
Texting 80%
Calling 20%
Texting offers convenience and allows for thoughtful responses, but nothing beats the personal touch and immediacy of a phone call. Ultimately, the choice depends on the context and what you're trying to communicate.
@ryan_motiff Absolutely true.
I agree with your approach! I prefer calling because it's a quicker way to resolve any issue. Besides, calls are necessary when the conversation topic requires opinions and discussions; they flow quicker and more smoothly over calls than in texts, about which people can easily forget.
In sales, in particular, calls also help with establishing contact. It's easier to understand what the other person doesn't understand and where they still have questions or doubts. You can also use your charisma more effectively! With texts it's much easier to misinterpret something or miss the actual mood of the person you're talking to and make mistakes in communication.
@michaelshver Absolutely true.
Both! :)

texting to easily paste"
I prefer calling & texting, especially during business hours, because it often speeds up the resolution process and adds a personal touch. After hours, I tend to switch to emails.

Calling. for better explanation/understanding and fill the communication gap.
texting take few time so its cool but sometimes its hard to avoid misunderstanding, I believe its better to hear the voice of people
