Well, I prefer to call my friends, family, relatives, etc., to ask if they have free time, just to hang out, do something quiet, but other times I send some messages with all the details to invite them.

Yes, I prefer to speak to friends to choose a cafe or restaurant. Before appointment, we text messages like you are coming, where are you now, etc.
