I usually send lots of text messages to my friends; so I don't disturb them and they can read my messages without rush; but, if I am in a hurry and I want a quick response, I prefer to speak to my friends.

I prefer to speak with people to make plans, but that is not always possible. Your most often at two different places when you want to make plans. But I hate the back and forth, back and forth thing when your sending sms.

I prefer calling over texting when planning something because most of people in our country don't pay much attention to text msg.
