How often do you text your friends?

[Anonymous]

I'm in my 20s and haven't recently become friends with two mom friends both are over 40. I've noticed they tend to communicate by email. I tend not to check my email very often when I'm not at work and would rather text. For those 35+ do you text back and forth with your friends?

Yes. I'm 39 and communicate with my friends mostly via text. I text one friend or another pretty much daily, for the most part.

I'm 39 as well and it's the same thing, including with a couple of friends I have who are in their 50's.

Yes, always text.

I'm over 40 and I hate to text. Annoying keyboard, and stilted sentences. Texting is for "I'm here, where are you?" type of messages. I also check my email way more than I check my phone. My phone lives in my purse, so if you texted me, I might not see it for a day or so.

+1. And I'm a bigger fan of actually using the phone to talk.

34 and text almost exclusively, aside from scheduled phone dates. Never email.

This is me. I prefer email as you can respond when you can. If I get a text I feel like I have to answer immediately. My phone stays in my purse and if I don't go out a few days I miss it.

Mostly email for making plans because I am checking my email constantly. I am in my 40s and I find this is fairly common among my friends. Texting only for running late and those kind of messages.

My friends and I are early 40s and yes, we text.

If it's a group and we're making plans, we tend to email. But one on one plans, we will often text. And lots of conversational texting.

I like email...

I either text or send a message via facebook. I don't even know if I have any email addresses for my friends.
