Most of the time I clearly prefer to receive text than a call. The reasons are:
- I can answer when I have time to do it. A phone call requires immediate attention (or otherwise is lost). It interrupts whatever I am doing in this moment.
- Surprised from and unprepared for a phone call it can happen that I talk "nonsense" because I have not enough time to think before I answer (or at least I feel a pressure not to think too long). Answering to a text I decide myself how long I think before I press the reply button (that doesn't mean I never write "nonsense" as well :-).
- I can read the text again if I forgot any detail.
- One can attach files to the text.
True reason, Jaki!
