I was wondering if there is a generally accepted time frame for replying to electronic messages ? Assuming the message is not rude, crude or in poor taste and it is received within normal waking hours ( 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. ) how soon should a text or email be replied to ? Is 1 hour acceptable, 1 day later or what ?

Over 2 hands plus a mouthful big
Another friend was texting me via his Telus phone and there were several times his texts to me weren't received.
Ok so it's just not me and texts from Telus :(. BTW for anyone having issues sending or receiving texts try removing the battery from your phone and put it back in after about 30 seconds that tends to get you back on the network properly. At least that is what a Roger's tech told me a couple of years ago. I was out of town and couldn't get texts. I call tech support and got up 3 levels of support until I had someone who was trying to locate my phone and they couldn't 'see me'. The phone battery trick had me back properly on the network.

That does work but it is better to leave the batter out for 5 minutes to be sure it "resets". This also helps clear the memory. Sometimes even though messages are deleted the memory will not be available again unless you remove the battery.

Why not just phone. Why rely on texts, emails, etc, when actually talking to the sp is an option, takes care of all the q's and a's within minutes, and you are done. :confused:

I would imagine that for those Vancouver escorts who accept texting, the turn around time should be the same as for a voice message (or possibly even quicker).

However, there are a number of us who don't take text messages at all. Personally, I find them annoying, and if somebody doesn't have the time to take 3 minutes to make a phone call, or a couple of minutes to compose a proper email, I really have no interest in seeing them. For me, this is about an experience, and I'm not going to be able to provide an unforgettable experience with somebody who lacks the social skills to talk or write.

I should also preface this by saying I DON'T actually receive text messges. My advertised numbers are landlines ~ which forward to whichever cell/sim chip I have with me that day. So, if somebody has tried to send me a text, I'm not going to receive it, and therefore, can't reply, even if I wanted to.

I have a friend who never seems to answer her phone. Whenever I call it goes to her voicemail. Her preferred mode of communication is either txting or IM. She tells me to call but when I do she doesn't answer or at least rarely does.

e-mail delay

If you think the e-mail you received was delayed many hours because of the time stamp on the e-mail you may be wrong. I recently sent an e-mail a day after I had started writing it and I noticed that the date and time were based on the start time rather than the send time. I haven't checked this out, just a suspicion.

That sounds like me squid..i would much rather txt verses speaking...and thats for all my close friends, family and pretty much anyone that i need to communicate with. i'm not sure why i prefer texting...but yes, sometimes I will hit ignore on my phone when a call is coming in and then just txt them with whatever we are needing to talk about. is this bad?:)

Amber, it's just my opinion but I think that talking gets the job done much faster. I send a txt, you think about a reply, I do the same and send back a msg and back and forth we go. Because txting is limited to 160 keystrokes ( ? ) you keep the msg short and sweet. Try carrying on a conversation in less than 160 letters ! You end of goin back and forth waaay too many times, IMHO.
