There are some instances when it is inappropriate to send a text. The topic maybe too important, personal, formal or socially unacceptable.
The following are some scenario's you should consider another form of communication other than text messaging:
- Cancelling on someone at the last minute. This deserves the courtesy of a phone call.
- Sending an invitation.
- Breaking off a relationship with someone.
- Asking someone out for a date.
- Making contact with an individual for the first time.
- Contacting an employer.
- Discussing critical work issues.
- Delivering bad news or good news. This would require a face-to-face conversation or a phone call if that's the only option.
- Accepting or declining a job offer.
- Responding to voice mails should be followed up with a phone call.
