I get bored of texting someone so just end up ringing them, if their voice is deeper than mine I usually hang up and stop texting.

Yeah but after you have met them and want to arrange something again. It's more personal.

Talking on the telephone has it's issues:

You give someone your number so they intrude into your life whenever they want to. Apps allow you to log off.

Talking on the phone is more intimate than say relatively anonymous messages on an app.

You have to make time for someone to enjoy a call.

Phone calls are either related to work or for family and friends, not strangers off t'interweb.

In my opinion obviously.

Oh I quite enjoy a phone call. I prefer a video call but still, if seeing someone isn't possible it's nice to hear their voice and not just read their words. You can hear their warmth and understand their feelings far better. And it's fun!

Prefer the company in the flesh when chatting but don't mind phone or video calling, I just never seem to have the time to take a call when the caller does have time! Honestly I could probably chat to anyone via any media... I just like a chinwag

I know I come across as traditional or possibly even old fashioned both here and in real life because I am but that doesn't necessarily mean that I possess all the characteristics you'd normally associate with that. I'm on a swingers site with my tits out for goodness sake!

Of course meeting in person is the only way as I'm a firm believer in body language being an amazing thing, but having a choice between messaging or talking on the phone, I'll pick the phone call any day.

Personality is easier to judge over the phone for me and I'm very different in actuality than online because my energy and humour doesn't transmogrify well into text.

A lot of people write amazingly when given time to plan a response and I have found this lacking when on the phone so saves me meeting them in person.

People were usually pleased to hear from me because I'd be negotiating a purchase from them (unless they were late with delivering it) so I didn't mind talking to them. It was surprising though how many people with a confident phone manners were shy and retiring in person.

Text to make contact, text to see if they can string some sentences together that make sense, see if they respond to my humour, see if they return for more: then it's face to face. Never found phone being any more or less reliable than texting, could be a friend lol.
