   I mostly text nowadays, but sometimes will call first. I rarely leave a voicemail though. I'll just text them instead.

   I do talk on the phone regularly though with those folks who I touch base with once a week or so.

   If it's a long conversation, I'll suggest going to a call for the ease of communication.

   Depends on who it is I want to call.
   Sometimes a "are you busy - can you talk - text
   is sent because of busy schedules and such.

   Don't think Emily Post has a rule on this. If someone gives you their phone number, either route seems acceptable. If you get someone's number from a third party, it might change things in that an initial text might be better. The type of contact factors in. If business, I'd call (or email) first. Personally, I do not use texting for business purposes unless I really know the person.

   It depends on the preference of the recipient and the reason for the call.
