do you still text?

do you still text people or do you stick to apps like whatsapp or messenger?

i still text like 1-2 people cos i don't have them on social media and i text my boss and colleagues. i hate the fact that i have to turn on my internet just to contact someone when it's much less hassle to text (( lmao

wby?

I still do. But mostly if the other person texts me. No particular reason. Just I think, we treat the message box like another apps XD lol

I basically only text. I've never downloaded WhatsApp and I don't have Facebook. Sometimes I message on Instagram and I used to on Twitter, but I find it's a lot more straightforward to just text somebody.

text older colleagues who don't have social media

I never had WhatsApp until I started going out with my current boyfriend in February 2016, I didn't even know what it was to be honest lmao. I only really text my mum and dad, occasionally my sister, and my boyfriend if his internet is playing up or vice versa.

Sometimes my mum or dad because they seem to switch between text and whatsapp without even realising it sometimes............. and then one colleague who idk just texts me even though she uses whatsapp for everyone else

I text my parents and colleagues because I don't have them on social media. People I have on social media I usually text if its important or urgent but if its not I use Messenger. That's the only messaging app I use though.

I much prefer texting to calling though! I don't live with my phone next to me all the time so I hate when people call and leave a message instead of texting.

I usually use Messenger unless I have no internet or I don't have them on Facebook, otherwise I Whatsapp people outside of NZ that I don't have on Facebook. I basically don't use Facebook anymore just Messenger...

Do englishplain: Is "texting" limited to SMS and pagers only?? If so, the answer is no! In face, I don't know what it is to own a cell since a year ago, when I downloaded a super vanilla Android emulator which I've gotten as a way of receiving messages from my boss and nothing further than this. Gotta say I didn't learn to get used to the standard patterns of communication from these days and, sometimes, it can be quite repulsive, for many reasons. -Says the forums rat!!! AH and in around May my webfriend sent me a physical, long-awaited letter with a real gem inside! The first envelope I've been addressed to in my entire life that does not include bills or advertisement

I still text but I am using WhatsApp more and more
