phones

I got a Windows phone because it was the cheapest touchscreen in the store.

I kinda get now how calling can be a pain in the ass.  Too many steps to check voice mail.  But reading a text is just as simple as reading an email.

Is that what you use?

[Razgovory]

I have found disposable ones goof for my purposes.

I prefer to use email.

Me too - I think in 9 cases out of 10 calling someone in this day and age of emails and text messages, is just plain rude.

The cultural shift that has calling someone on the phone as being "rude" or not to be desired in some fashion is simply fucking bizarre to me.

I know it exists - my kids would sooner carve out their eyes than actually call someone on the phone.

It's bizarre to me too, and I often still think that texting over calling is less, well, "intimate", especially when trying to communicate with friends.  But I see the other side too...who are you to disturb me at YOUR convenience with a phone call, when you can text me instead, and allow me to respond(or better, actually call in response) at mine?  Kinda goes to the odd logic we had developed in the past that, just because somebody makes your phone ring, they take some kind of priority over the person who is there talking to you...in person.

for me, depends on the relationship. good friend? call, #yolo. professional friend/acquaintance? text asking if they're available to talk

LG G3 (Android).  I will keep it as my primary phone for at least two or three years due to my satisfaction.

professional friend

[mongers]

Most people will find it Very hard to contact me by phone.   

[Tonitrus]

professional friend

I'm guessing he means "work friends".  People at work whom you like, and who like you, but for reasons, never really hang outside of work or work functions.  I've had plenty of those.

Of course not, we're not savages here.

For me, it's more about the content of the message than anything else.  Want to remind me that we've planned to get together to watch the game on TV tonight?  Text me, and I can just text back an acknowledgment/confirmation.  Want to set up plans for a future get-together?  Call me, so we can actually talk and discuss what we want to do, when, where, etc.
