I have received many scary cryptic texts which the phone calls version would’ve involved, at worst, 5 seconds of confusion. With the cryptic texts I often have to wait hours to understand. The problem with texting is that people use it even when it’s wildly inappropriate to and they don’t seem to understand that.
I feel like it’s sort of simple minded to make rules for oneself like people in this thread seem to have done. Context is key.
Am I excited to answer a call from my landlord? Absolutely not, but I’d rather do that and talk for 5 minutes than text for a couple hours about when the repairman is coming or whatever. Calls can be much more convenient than these people with their rules seem to know…
