However you still have the app on your phone whether you want it or not. I am not a text person either preferring to actually speak to people rather than text. I will use text if there is no answer. To me texting a person instead of phoning and speaking to them is bad manners!
Why should a text be bad manners if use appropriately? Manners like language evolve.
The last thing I would want is someone ringing me at 2123 at night if a quick text can suffice. Going up to my daughters I will often text her so she can unlock the front door when she may be on a work phone call. Numerous reasons why a text can be more appropriate than a phone call, and not bad manners.
Our son in law texted us during the night to tell us that the daughter had been admitted to hospital. We don't bother with the phones during the night as they are on charge in the kitchen. He actually sent 3 texts. Eventually he phoned us at 6.30am to tell us she had passed away. We are still wondering why he texted instead of phoning first?
