When you’re out enjoying the RV lifestyle, your phone can be a lifeline—whether it’s to check in with family, coordinate with friends, or just share the view from your campsite. But how do you use it most? Are you more likely to make a call (or hop on FaceTime), or do you mostly stick to texting?
Maybe you’re someone who likes to hear a familiar voice on the other end of the line. A phone call can make you feel closer to loved ones, especially when you’re parked miles from the nearest town or are states away from friends and family.
FaceTime or video calls can be the next best thing to being there in person—great for catching up with grandkids or seeing a friend’s face rather than just reading their words.
Or maybe you prefer to text. It’s quick, convenient, and perfect for nightly campground check-ins, sending a photo of the sunset, or confirming dinner plans with fellow travelers. Plus, texting works well when you’re in an area with limited cell coverage—sometimes that short message will send even when a call won’t go through.
So what about you—are you more of a talker or a texter when you’re traveling in your RV? Tap your choice in this week’s poll and let us know!
As always, thanks for voting!

Simple exchange of information without any immediacy? Text. Other use for text is to determine a good time to talk. Have to smile sometimes. ‘Phone’ implies analog, but nearly all voice communication today is also a digital signal between analog end points.
Talk!
All Text is good for is a response:
Yes!
No!
and WTF!
It is a phone so naturally I talk on it. If they came with a real keyboard, then texting might be usable.
No, it is a pocket computer with a phone app.
Not my flip phone
My wife and son call me a heathen because I refuse to text.
Wait… You can talk on these things???
I said text more, but actually I don’t do much of either.
I don’t text
I am generally annoyed when the phone rings. Though group chats with stupid graphic responses are annoying too.
I text a person and ask if they aren’t busy give me a call on this #. It’s not important.
I just want to share something goofy, to put a smile on your mug.
