Whether it was then or now, in my humble opinion, there are specific reasons whether it is better to text or to call. For eg., to avoid others around us from listening to a private telephone conversation, texting is best. The other good reason would be when the other person is overseas or out of town and calls would be expensive. Again, whether it is worthwhile to make a call would depend on its urgency or necessity. Under normal circumstances, a call is not only immediately answered (unless misplaced unintentionally) and matters sorted out, it is also more polite and respectful. I might personally feel a bit slighted (depending on the person and circumstances), when I receive a text instead of a call, as I tend to get the impression the person does not wish to even talk to me!
