I basically don't text. I email or call, unless the purpose is simply to exchange contact info.

Point being, texting back and forth gets tedious really quickly, and I find that in most instances whatever is the issue can be better settled in a 30 sec phone call. Thus the stock response above -- and no, I won't waste keystrokes on a texting mofo.

so whats the difference between a text and email? I use both for work. I usually talk to customers on the phone but after an order a lot of them will text me to add or make changes. I email to vendors and whatnot. A customer will call and give me a BOM to quote and tell me text him the price. It works well because now they have something that they can reference while theyre out in the field. Very useful actually just as an email, except theyre not as organizable as emails.

Not as organizable. Not easily visible on multiple devices. Annoying if over-used, since people tend to send short texts back and forth. List goes on.

Of course, my job is different from yours -- software specification and IT troubleshooting. Texting back and forth about a spec or a problem gets really annoying almost immediately.

As far as personal life, calling is much better unless the point is just to arrange for a location to meet in person.
