    I absolutely hate text messages. I refuse to spend hours of my time sending text messages back and forth to solve a problem that a 60 second phone call could have disposed of.

    and I refuse to spend hours of my time listening to voicemails when I could have scanned a text message in 15 seconds

    This is why you actually answer the phone to prevent 300 voicemails. That's on you if that happens. And I have repeatedly found that a one or two line text message NEVER conveys the whole message because people do not know how to create a cognizant thought. So I can either spend hours texting back and forth to get the whole picture or you can call me directly, answer my pointed questions, and be done in 60 seconds or less.

    It really depends case by case.

    If back and forth starts going, then it's time for a call.

    However text first to establish:

    • Is it shorter to take care of in text. Particularly if one party of the conversation tends to be needlessly verbose, text can be a godsend to let you skim their BS and cut to the chase.
    • If there has to be a conversation, when would be a good time.
