I definitely send a lot more text messages, to communicate with my friends and make plans.

All depends on my mood and time. Sometimes I prefer texting people. Other times I enjoy talking on the phone.

I don't prefer texting to someone and like to call. If i send messages , i use emojis and abbreviation . I think emojis are so cute .

I like the word "IDK" somehow. It sounds like "DIY"! ; )

I texting message to my partner for share jobs information . We usually use this method.

Yes, I am not only text message but also call to my friends to hangout. I always do like that.

i prefer texting messages to friends instead of calling

Usually, I prefer texting messages. Nowadays I can talk with many of my friends at the same time through social networks which is convenient to better plan with them where we would meet each other.

Actually, I like to speak in person with my friends cuz it's gonna be fun cuz we see each other but when it comes to texting messanges I feel bored and don't wanna write some long sentences.So, I sometime talk to my friends by voice messages.

Normally, I prefer to discuss in person as I make a plan with my friends because we can make better decisions and we can agree or disagree decisively in person , if we do that via text messages on and off it's more likely to lead to misunderstanding between friends.
