Text first is the modern thing, but honestly I still prefer a call from close friends.

Depends on the relationship. Family? Call away. Work colleague? Text first, please.

Phones were invented for calling! If you need me, call. I'll answer or I won't.

I'm with the text-first camp. Calling without warning feels like an ambush, and I end up stressed trying to figure out what's wrong.

If it's urgent, call. If it's not, text first. Simple.

Calling unannounced is just rude. A quick text takes 10 seconds and respects someone's time.
