Rarely.

In most cases, texting is done out of courtesy; not out of fear of human interaction.

Unlike placing a phone call, people are sending text under the assumption that you MAY be busy; and in the odd chance you're not will most likely result in 1 or 2 things:

1) said person will text back immediately.
2) if it's too long/complex to text, will call back immediately.


Secondly, as many of you have already observed, that texting is more and more common is that because most of the time; when people are communicating electronically, 75% of time it's most likely because the communique is casual and non-urgent. That's why your're beginning to see a heavier trend on texting rather than calling.
