iAmCharis:
You know it's end time when Kachisbarbie spells iAmCharis as Acharis.

In the last 6 months, I think I've sent an sms just once and it was because I called several times but the owner of the phone didn't pick up and I needed to explain certain things to him.

If I call twice and you don't pick up, I'll wait and call back in maybe two or three hours time. Depending on the urgency. If it's not important, I won't call back. Sms is just not my thing. The only condition that'll warrant me sending an sms is if I want to communicate something important to you and you bounce my call, an sms will follow.

I understand the above, but when the person is indisposed_ why not drop a message? He/she would call back as at when due.

The emboldened is very funny. You have any proof?

I generally don't like Text Messages..

They leave evidence that is traceable and undeniable.

Like I have told all my side biitches, DO NOT TEXT ME... Thats a 'Break-up" offense. Call me once. If I don't answer, it means I can speak to you right now. DO NOT REDIAL.


I also hate when people use text messaging to ask me for money. I receive these text messages and i just ignore them. If you need my money, you better call me.

I also will not call you if you send me a "Please Call Me" message. Especially if you are not family.

Growing up, I have learnt that calling a particular number twice without getting a response indicates that the receiver is busy or indisposed, and at such, a text message should follow immediately..

Why should I continue calling someone who has refused to take his/her calls at the moment, when every hand set has an 'SMS feature?'

Funnily, I barely call , save the matter is very critical.. Since the invent of WhatsApp and BBM, making calls have been a herculean task..

Reasons why a caller keeps calling even after the receiver sends a message:

• Matter of urgency: Yeah!! Sometimes, the urgency @ which a message should be delivered continually gives the caller an edge to call, irrespective of your been busy or not..
An example is a person you gave an invitation to your office, house etc, and along the line, you got busy.. The person, being a first timer continually needs you on the phone for a better direction.. An SMS at this point is worthless ..

• Verification of an info: Most peeps continually call to verify an info, especially in a do or die affair .. Your been busy matters little to them until you have heard them out..

• To gossip or to report a case that was physically seen/witnessed: Gossips are better done verbally .. You hear peeps say, 'Babe oo.. Wait make I call you.. This tory too long to type..'

There are classified info or self-implicating messages u shouldn't pass across via text messaging or mails cuz they may serve as exhibits against you in the future. You never can tell. Just make the damn call till they pick.
