Interpersonally, I agree with you. With customer service, I want a phone call. I want to work with a person & not a bot.

I agree, but can we also talk about how a voice note is the worst of both worlds

Personally I enjoy that phone calls can be faster than emails or texts still. I will ignore texts and emails. However I will answer phone calls

if it was real individual people calling me most of the time I'd disagree, but HOW DARE a corporation think they have a right to my instant attention

sure but at work it's infinitely easier to make a call and explain shit vs sending 15 emails back and forth

Phone calls for conversation, texting should be like a message board, “here is simple task” “quick question about task” “quick answer” …. “Task complete”, or reminders/tidbits, I HATE being asked how my day was over text, either face to face or phone call, I’m sick of typing expected to have an immediate response

It's also just so much more convenient to be able to refer back to things in writing???

Phone calls are only relevant when you need a back and forth exchange of information that cannot be represented by text efficiently, or time is of the essence. In 99% of cases texts are superior

Text allows to free ourselves from the shackles of constant availability. Send now, someone will read it later. And with how shitty some phones are, it removes the necessity of asking to repeat the same question 5 times because the microphone is bad

Not that we don't need phones. but yeah, text first, and do not get pissy if I send you to voicemail and call back later. AND BE SPECIFIC WITH YOUR MESSAGE!! Don't just say "call me back." Tell me why I'm calling back!

Counterpoint: speech is the OG method of human communication and written language is a pretty new thing on the scale of humanity

Honestly the only time my friends talk on the phone is when we chat on discord. Phone calls are “were at dinner are you on the way/ you arent answering my texts fast enough and its time sensitive”

Text messaging is not for real-time/synchronous communication. There is almost nothing worse than an hour long text chat that should have been a two minute phone call.

Voice messages are even worse, it has the only downside of texting being the delay with all the downsides of calling and it's randomly just incredibly quiet and turns off as soon as you try to do anything for some reason

Could not more strongly disagree Texting is vastly insuperior. A call gets across so much information so quickly and you can tell if the other person is understanding you. Texts are fine to send a couple of details but calling will always be my go to.

yet here you are communicating vocally rather than just posting words on the screen. sometimes it's faster and easier to convey a message with your voice than type it out

The local police station approves this message. A phone call needs a warrant to be listened to. Texts can be shared without your consent.
