I have always perferred texting rather than calling. The main reason that I like texting, is that I dont have to speak or say anything at all! I also have Verizon as my cell phone service provider, so texting rather than calling saves me tons of money each and every month. I only talk on the phone if it is for something extremely important, like work as an example. Well, I also pay some bills on my phone as well, but other than that, it's nothing but text messages!
