Talking on the phone
« on: July 01, 2017, 06:03:46 pm »
How many hours do you talk on the phone over the weekend? I talk a few
hours with my mom and with a friend of mine. Other than that I
text the rest of my friends.

I don't talk on the phone that much
I talk to my mother 2 or 3 times a week, my brothers and a couple of fronds a couple times a month.Texting is the way  communicate most often besides in person :rainbow: :rose: :peace: :wave:

I hate talking on the phone, so I don't really talk too much on the phone.

Normally, I don't like to overspend time on the phone.  I like talking in person at length.

I probably talk on the phone about an average of 30-45 minute a day, and other than that, I text.  I do prefer to hear a person's voice and their inflection as well as the opportunity to ask someone's meaning quickly if I am not sure I understand.  That's the problem with texting.  Meanings are sometimes misunderstood.

rarely talk on the phone anymore.    My parents are both gone and they were the only ones I really talked to on the phone for amount of time.   Now days it is just a causal talk  and mostly txting to my kids.  I can laugh with txting just like actually talking to them, :highfive:

I don't talk on the phone unless I have to call someone like a doctor's office, or mechanic...someone that I can't text. Otherwise I usually text everybody else. But I guess less than 3 hours I talk on the phone.

I don't really talk on the phone a lot. I text more in a week than I talk in a month. I just prefer to do it that way.  :peace:

I talk to my Mom and Dad on the phone every weekend.  Like some others here, I text with my kids more than talk via the phone to them.

Two of the girls send a lot of Snapchats.  I enjoy the pictures, but wish I could save them.

I do not spend hours on the phone; even when I am talking with my Mom who lives in another state; because we speak frequently it is not necessary to spend hours on the phone at one time. I see people on cell phones all day talking out in public so much so that they don't even pay attention to where they are walking or their surroundings!

I don’t spend too much time talking on the phone nor do I text a lot. When I text my friends, they’re usually short messages. Talking on a mobile phone nonstop for a long time can make me feel exhausted.

I can talk a lot, but I don't talk much on the phone.

It seems to me that people respond much faster to texts than to a phone call. N'est-ce pas?

I only get telemarketers on my phone it seems anymore.  Even on my cell phone.  I can txt anyone and get a faster answer.  I guess that is the way to go anymore :thumbsup:

I do not talk on the phone too much. However I would prefer to. My children and grandchildren text me most of the time. I love it when the grandchildren face time me.
