Many people today use their phones for sending texts more than talking. What are the reasons for this? Are there more advantages than disadvantages?

✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?
In a bid to bridge the gap between communication, more innovations are being made. Nowadays, owing to its affordability and convenience people now prefer to send information via
text

 messaging than
phone
Use synonyms
 calls. In my opinion, I believe that the drawback supersedes the benefits with a number of reasons.
To begin
Linking Words
 with, individuals now prefer to send
text
Use synonyms
 messages because it is less expensive and more convenient.
In other words
Linking Words
, money spent on sending messages to people is cheaper when compared with making calls.
As a result
Linking Words
, an individual would rather go for the method because
one

 can even send lengthy messages without spending too much.
For example
Linking Words
, in Nigeria, the amount it costs to make a
one
Use synonyms
 minute call is 3x more than what it would take a send a
text
Use synonyms
.
Also

, expressing
one

's self via
text
Use synonyms
 messaging is more convenient.
This
Linking Words
 is because
one

 can send a
message

 to someone at any time, regardless of the location of the person and get a reply. Whereas, if a call is put across to a person in a busy place, he will have no choice than to suspend the call until he gets to a less noisy place. Admittedly, a major benefit of sending a
text

 is that it is time-saving.
In other words
Linking Words
, less time is required to convey a
message
Use synonyms
 to the recipient unlike over
phone

 calls.
For example
Linking Words
, according to a survey carried out by the Nigerian Telecommunications, people said they preferred to send texts than make calls because it took them less time in passing the

 across.
Nevertheless

, despite
this

 advantage, the major drawback to

In other words

, in a situation where the mobile

 owner is not an English literate, he will not be able to express himself via typing.
For example

, a man who was just gifted a
phone

 by his child found it difficult sending messages during an emergency situation.
This

 would have been avoided if he used the call option
instead

. Another downside of

 messaging is that it could be used to mask

 messaging whereas it is very difficult to hide your feelings over

 calls. In conclusion, people benefit from sending texts because it is cheaper and more convenient. Despite

 as a means of communication makes it less beneficial to making
