Sometimes, I wonder where we are heading to in this country. You call someone seventeen times and he/she does not take your calls, what is wrong in sending a text to the person? I wonder what we use our bonus text messages for.
Let me ask:
When last did you send someone a message after series of unsuccessful calls?
What is the use of text messages in your phone?

Don't forget:
The receiver may be in a meeting and can't take calls
The receiver may be in a place that prohibits the use of cell phones.
He/She may not be in the mood to receive calls
He/she maybe sleeping.
Organizations use text messages to invite you for tests or interviews
Your service provider use text messages to inform you of an improvement in their products and services

Little kids above me didn't even bother to read the post and get the writer's drift.
I send SMS alot once I call once (I don't call twice) without response, especially if it's a call to an elder or a formal call.
How on earth do you wanna send a whatsapp message to your Professor or Consultant? My brother, "extension" would be your middle name.
In our environment that is plain rude and smirks of indiscipline

My wife don complain of me not calling well well!

Once broke up with my babe because of this:

You might think that I am mean, "Let Me Explain!!!"

On 9th Sept, 2006 on hot Afternoon, My school had just introduced, the electronic payment of school fees via E-transact. Majority of us weren't familiar with d online payment platform and we were also trying to struggle with slow internet at most Cybercafe's den. My dad already made a bank deposit to my account for me to make my payment and that of my younger bro. Na so this my babe as at then kept calling me ohh, I kept it on Vibration because pupsy could call at anytime, my Sagem X7 kept vibrating and vibrating this psychopath gave me 39 freaking calls. The fact that I over paid the sum of 96k to the school account was driving me crazy. A money that was supposed to be our pocket money for the month.

Then one eediot was calling to check up on me. As soon as I picked up, "lambasted her, told her dat she's sick and jobless, I also said unmentionable fins to her" Onyinye wherever u are, Na just transfer of aggression ohhh, beht y will u call someone 39 times, I didn't die na.

Yesterday

I do it alot. sometimes I send a WhatsApp message - depends on my relationship with the person.

To be honest, there are some basic phone call etiquettes we lack. I use to be one of those fools that call more than twice at a go, but not anymore.
There are some very bad Nigerian habit I've had to drop as I get older simply because I realised it's sickening and annoying.

These days I call once or twice, of unanswered,I drop a message.
but for elderly ones who don't read text, I just call the next day.

Whizpeter:
When last did you write a letter to your grandma in the village?

You missed the message OP is trying to pass across.

Nigerians are guilty of calling someone severally when a simple sms will get the message across.

I have received up to 6 missed calls sometimes only for the caller to ask a simple quetion like " I need Chichi's number" or I just want to say Hi.

A lot of the calls we make are actually unneccesarry. We talk too much.

Moderators are marking this Niaraland depreciate in value day and night, must every post make front page??

I even prefer sms. I send msgs very often.
d last time was about 7am dis mng.

You just spoke for me.The most annoying bthing is that when those irritants call you much later or the following day,instaed of going straight to the point,they will first bore you with shameless unintelligent lines like this " I called you seventeen times yesterday and you did not pick my call " Thats when I go grrrrrrrrrrr, is that why you called me now ?? ok Ive heard,bye .Then I press the red button
Jeeeez

I rarely do, but once I call you twice and there's no answer, I won't call again.
I hate people calling me endless times just to say useless things. A lady called me like 6 or 7 times last week just to ask why I've not come online (WhatsApp) all day. We ended up fighting because the reason & frequency of call were too nonsensical.
