Do you call people, or do people call you?

I rarely use the phone to call people, is that normal? Usually I text, just because its faster and more convenient. But if you are the one that calls, instead of receiving them, does that mean something? I prefer face to face conversation, but should I use the phone more often?

    I call people more than people call me. The reason for that is because I do not have a specific cell phone. I usually use on of my family member's. It's easier to call people then to have them call all my numbers.

    It's perfectly normal to rarely use your phone. Not everyone in the world has a phone, remember that. If you call more than you receive, then it just basically means that you take more of an initiative to talk to people. It does not necessarily mean that you pester people and that people are uninterested in talking to you.

    As to your last question. You shouldn't use the phone more often if you're comfortable texting. If it's working well for you now, then stick to it. You'll find that as you grow older you will be using the phone less frequently and for less periods of time.

    Well I prefer texting, I hate talking on the phone b/cus they never have much to say. If it comes down to talking on the phone, the person usually calls me first, I never do the dialing.

    I rather text. I can just send a line to someone without having to find topics to talk about to avoid awkward silences. I'm usually the one that texts people but others are the ones that usually call me.

    i rarely call people anymore now that i've moved to the states

    in japan, I only got charged for calling phones and not receiving calls. So i would just call a person, let it ring once, hang up, and let them call me. that way they would get charged and not me :P

    over in the states (i have verizon) i get charged for receiving calls also so i just use my unlimited texting

    if not calling people will save you money, then text all you want :)
