A phonecall is so much nicer, quicker and leaves a lot less room for misunderstanding.

I don't like shot-messages-communication, especially not when it's a delicate topic.

And yes, I'm old, and an extrovert.

For me, if it's urgent, sure a call is fine. A message doesn't require the other person's attention to be redirected at your demand though. They can get around to it when it's convenient for them.

For me a phone call is for when a text might be misunderstood or you need to gauge the mood of the person you’re communicating with. For everything else, text is more polite, accurate and convenient for both parties.

If it's not important you can email it to me lol. My dad who is 75 also prefers emailing me and if more time sensitive he texts or sends a discord message. Phone calls are for emergencies and even then I know he wouldn't call.
