1. a text is less immediate than a phone call. You can text them and even if they can't reply straight away, your question/statement/whatever is still there, waiting for them. No need to try remember what it was you were going to phone them about.
2. Nobody can hear what you're saying.
3. It's easier to think of replies because you don't have the pressure of the other person sitting listening to you breathing while you think.
4. tends to be a lot cheaper than phoning. I get unlimited texts but only 200 minutes of calls. Unless I have something important to say that requires them to hear it right it right that minute, I'll text them whatever it is.
