I believe making a phone call is sounder than an SMS for almost every urgent piece of information
or call. Time and again, messages tend to get deciphered in the wrong way, which often creates
pandemonium, especially if the matter is crucial. Therefore, the corporate communication or
essential instructions should be rendered on a phone call rather than an SMS.
Have you ever had difficulty replying?
Yes, there was a time when I was in a meeting and a friend of mine texted me on WhatsApp
about the party, he was throwing that night. However, since I was in a meeting, I couldn't reply.
Do you text someone if they don’t answer the phone?
Yes, if someone doesn't pick up the phone call, I text them more often than not, depending upon
the urgency and necessity of the context for which the phone call was made.
