Tuesday, September 16, 2025 at 8:00 PM

A survey of 2,000 adults reveals 55% consider phone calls the most meaningful connection method, even though they text more frequently. The poll shows 84% believe hearing someone's voice deepens emotional bonds, while 58% value detecting real-time tone and emotion during calls. Additionally, 47% report phone conversations with loved ones instantly improve their mood more than other communication forms. Adults spend equal time on calls and voice notes—25 minutes daily each. However, 28% find voice notes helpful for emotional connection while being faster than calls. The research found 46% consider calls more important with people they rarely see. (Story URL)
