| Ive had to cut down my phone habits recently as I have run up a few large bills which is really not a good thing at the moment. I have always had a habit when talking to friends of talking for hours on end if I have nothing better to do and recently I have done the same with a friend over seas which is the reason for my high bills.
Does anyone else like talking on the phone as much as me? | |

| I prefer texting. And if you talk to a friend overseas, you should definitely try Skype, by the way. It's free to make PC to PC calls (you need a mic).
But yeah, I prefer texting to actually talking on the phone. | |

| I prefer texting too.... I don't know why, but I always feel awkward when I talk to someone on the phone, and even more awkwark when I'm the one making the call instead of recieving. =/ lol, and I REALLY feel weird when I call someone on their house phone rather than a cell phone. I don't know, I guess I'm scared of their parent picking up XD | |

| well, I used to stay on the phone for hours while I was still in Romania (and whenever I'm there in holidays now xD) ... but now that I've moved, I can't afford to make so many international calls, so I just keep in touch with my old friend via messenger. Lol which doesn't mean our phone bill is small, it just isn't me who's the cause XD
... and I'm a relatively slow texter... mehh I don't really like texting XD | |

| I love texting, there are none of those awkward pauses that ALWAYS come up in phone conversations. And you don't waste hours saying...
"Um...so what's up?" "Nothing, I'm good. What's up?"
"Umm. OH did I tell you blah blah?"
"Wow. Huh. So what else is new?"
Gaaah drives me insane. You spend hours talking nonsense. Occasionally I'll have a deep heart-to-heart with someone that would be too uncomfortable face-to-face, but perfect on the phone. Otherwise I text allll the time. | |

| Texting... that's all I hear.. lol. You guys are the lucky few who can walk text at the same time. Me? I had a bad expierence with that. I was walking to class and I was all immersed in this text convo with my friend and I ran straight into a pole, another pole and tripped over a bump in the walkway that everyone knows to avoid. Sooo I never try again. lol.
I'd rather talk on the phone and hear the person's voice anyway. I don't know the word awkward. lol. If I hear a pause, I usually start up a whole new random topic. I like to talk....idk, it's diff for diff ppl i guess. | |

| I have bad experiences with talking on the phone (saying something bad about a certain person, and that person happened to sit behind me in the bus), so now I'm mostly texting :D But when I do talk I usually ramble a lot, or then just say "Mmm... yeah, uh huh... I know... mmhmm..." while I'm doing something else at the same time. And when I talk with my dad, which I do very rarely, every second word is in finnish or swedish, and he can't understand a thing what I'm saying :D Which is why we both avoid talking on the phone. It's easier when we talk face to face, and he can see my expressions and gestures I make xD | |

I've got to admit I'm a bit of a textaholic...and by "a bit" I mean I would probably have a mental breakdown if I didn't have my phone for even two weeks. I know it's horrible, but it's just the way it is. | |
