The era of the phone call is over.

According to a new survey, the overwhelming majority of people would rather have you TEXT them than call them.  The only exception is people over 55.

72% of people under 39 would rather you text, and so would 61% of people between 40 and 54. 

For people over 55, 35% prefer a text, 49% prefer a call.

Also, for what it’s worth, people who prefer calls over texts are almost three times less likely to have smartphones.
