I will also use Facebook messenger with friends who are at work on a computer. But longer topics I use email. Plus FaceTime if the kids are awake and involved. </p> <p>So yeah I rarely just talk on the phone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preferred-communication-mode-with-friends-and-family#post-2578280 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 08:33:37 +0000 littlebug 2578280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Ahhh, yes, gchat.

We're on our desktops a lot, so it's faster than texting/messaging. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preferred-communication-mode-with-friends-and-family#post-2578265 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 08:22:33 +0000 Mamaof2 2578265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate talking on the phone so I prefer texting for short notes and email for longer topics </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preferred-communication-mode-with-friends-and-family#post-2578264 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 08:22:25 +0000 youboots 2578264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Texting.

Email or phone calls are 2nd. Do people actually still IM?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preferred-communication-mode-with-friends-and-family#post-2578258 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 08:20:05 +0000 mrbee 2578258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friends here all use a messaging app (either Facebook, WhatsApp or Viber) or text message (which is more widely used, but also more expensive). Almost no one uses email or IM! I still can't get over a world where so many people don't have or use email addresses!</p> <p>How do your friends and family like to stay in touch? </p>
