texting or calling?

A few days ago I realized that I prefer texting people rather than calling and talking to them. There are so much more advantages like :

• You don't have to hear their voice.
• You stick to the point. You only text what you want to.
• No unwanted news or piece of gossip will come out unless your'e really stupid and have no control of what you type.
• You don't waste too much money on texts.
• Talking to someone takes up too much time.

There are a few disadvantages as well :

• You can't listen to their voice.
• You can't type that much in one go which makes you just stick to the point.
• You can't gossip all that much. It's not as much fun when you sms gossip and news.
• Sometimes calling someone is cheaper than texting.
• For people who text slowly, calling is way faster.
