Phone Call vs SMS


There’re varios way for us to in contact with each othe such as MSN, facebook, blog, sms, phone call and many other. Now, i’m gonna to voice out my opinion between SMS and phone call.

Most of the people would prefer SMS than phone call. It’s because SMS is much cheaper. They can write everything they wanna said in a short text and it’ll only cost them for about 5-10cents.Unlike phone call. It might cost 50 cents for them to describe a simple event.

For me, i would prefer phone call rather than SMS. Cause you can’t really express your feeling or emotion about the incident or topic through a text message. It might lead to a fight due to the misunderstanding in intepreting the contents of the message. Let’s look at the following examples:

“If you’re not coming tomorrow, then you’re no longer my friend anymore.”

That seems like a joke or a serious fact? It’s depends on your mood when you read that. If you're not in a good mood, you might take that seriously. But in the other way, if you’re in a very happy mood at that time, that will surely be a joke for you as you read it.

If your friend would have said this over a phone call, you can interprete it easier according to the tone when he/she saying that. You can even explain better over a phone call unless you’re really a good writter that can express what you think very well through a short message. I’m not that kind of ‘good writer’. That’s why i love to call my friend if we gonna have a long discussion about some topic.

Some of my friend even like to use the wrong symbol or didn’t put any symbol at all. You’ll always have to read her/his sentence over and over again just to understand what she/he is trying to express. For example:-

"I don't want to go?"
"Tomorrow still going." [It's suppose to be a question.]

It's very frustrated when you keep reading sentences with the wrong symbol.

But beware of 1 thing if you trying to call your friend which is the environment. You should be in a peaceful ('noiseless') place when you're trying to make a phone call. This could make the conversation run smoothly without any distraction from the surrounding.
