Kachisbarbie:That's because voice calls are a bit faster in terms of getting response. Secondly sms doesn't bring that closeness compare to voice calls. For example Imagine someone bending down to greet while on fone even when the receiver isn't there which we all know to be psychological. Sms is for used when you didn't get reply from your caller, it is used when you want to share info that might be secretive and lastly it was created for the handicapped e.g deaf and dumb to assist communication. 15 Likes 3 Shares |

asuustrike2009:I understand the above, but when the person is indisposed_ why not drop a message? He/she would call back as at when due. The emboldened is very funny. You have any proof? 5 Likes |

Growing up, I have learnt that calling a particular number twice without getting a response indicates that the receiver is busy or indisposed, and at such, a text message should follow immediately.. Why should I continue calling someone who has refused to take his/her calls at the moment, when every hand set has an 'SMS feature?' Funnily, I barely call ![]() Reasons why a caller keeps calling even after the receiver sends a message: • Matter of urgency: Yeah!! Sometimes, the urgency @ which a message should be delivered continually gives the caller an edge to call, irrespective of your been busy or not.. An example is a person you gave an invitation to your office, house etc, and along the line, you got busy.. The person, being a first timer continually needs you on the phone for a better direction.. An SMS at this point is worthless ![]() • Verification of an info: Most peeps continually call to verify an info, especially in a do or die affair ![]() • To gossip or to report a case that was physically seen/witnessed: Gossips are better done verbally ![]() 27 Likes 5 Shares |

Kachisbarbie:That is because of the perception most Nigerians have about sms. There is the tendency that someone else will read the message before the receiver and so they prefer to call the person than text. That's not to say voices can't be tampered with,with the level of technology, things are changing. 3 Likes |

For me, there are those times when I find it so hard to reply calls, messages or even FB, tweets and NL mentions. It will look as if someone tied 2kg blocks to my fingers. Generally, I prefer texting. I'm better able to convey my thoughts and emotions using that. 5 Likes 1 Share |

WhatsApp and BBM can serve. Like you rightly said, SMS comes in when a faster means is needed eg, in a meeting. If you try to tell someone you're in a meeting via WhatsApp, the person might be like you got time to chat but you can't pick the call. 1 Like |

I've been pondering on this for a while. people really find it hard texting and for an introvert like me I love texting more than calls. You are in a noisy environment or the line is breaking, you text the person or tell him or her to text you they won't listen they'll keep calling. At times you'll send an important message to people esp girls instead of them replying they'll stay mute or call back and it's so annoying having your messages not replied, at a point I gave up texting Nigerians. 2 Likes |

#Mobile ethics. 1. If ur call/dial get busied at the other end, stop calling at the moment or better pass the information by sms. 2. If u call up to the 3rd time and the callee never picked; pause calling or better sms the person. I apply to the above ethics. I prefer voice call over text messaging but it is limited at bal 0.00. So text messaging plays alternative there. Handles took over sms... I believe sms is currently applied in time of urgency cos I don't know the last time I composed a message. |

I think to achieve the desired effect you want on someone. For example if someone owes you money and hasn't paid, phone calls usually delivers the threat accordingly cos when you send a text, he/she can pretend that he/she didn't receive the message and let's face it, if you are calling the person owning you money and she/he doesn't pick up after continuous calls then you know she/he is definitely dodging you. 1 Like |

Why people call and call? They are not calling with their number. They want to talk to you as possible to return the phone. #Reason. I hardly return calls to unknown numbers. |

Factually speaking, we text alot more than we used to years back. With too many IMs available nowadays, texting is at it's peak. |

Kachisbarbie:It's very annoying. I never do that, no matter how urgent or serious the issue may be. All i do and expect the person to do is to resend a message to me and brief me on why he/she is calling or the urgency as the case may be. |

lacasera14: The matter dey tire me. The rate at which they would be calling, like it's so urgent_ the moment you ask them to text you 'cos you're busy at the moment, they won't. They prefer to keep calling or go mute, only to resume the calls later. |

Kachisbarbie: Like seriously, some people can be so annoying. When a person calls repeatedly, all you need to do is to block his/her number on your phone. You can do that by downloading a call blocking application on your mobile app store. You can unblock such person when you like. 2 Likes 1 Share |
