Still using e-mail?!

[Yaiba 2]

On Facebook I have made a wall post asking a question for all of my friends and family to answer as I was curious. The question I asked was "Do you still use e-mail?" and I have received several "no" answers.

Sure text messaging is great, but what everyone needs to remember is that there is many of features isn't in text messaging that are in e-mail and beside e-mail can be used everywhere and not text messaging service because you would have to have a cell phone number to text while e-mail have a address that can be sent anywhere even internationally at no cost and sending text message to anyone that's oversea costs some money.

Anyway, I am wondering if some of you still use e-mail? And do you think that text messaging is overshadowing e-mail now? Share your opinion or even rants about e-mail vs text messaging, go!

Yes I do I use iCloud via Apple. Email will always be used no matter what.

Of course. I mean I myself don't send them super often, but I get e-mails from various stuff. Mostly notifications from sites or forums.

[Erich 4]

Yup, email is still one of the best forms of communication. I use it all the time, even outside of work

[Massacre 3]

Yes i do use email but only work related other than that, just stay casual.

We all have to ... even college lecturers prioritize emails lol

I use email all the time; it's much more secure than text messaging and you can attach some pretty large files while you're at it.  Using email just seems more professional, you know? I use email for support tickets to confirming my purchases online. It's so much easier, and free if you look at it. It costs money to text.

Emails will never be replaced by instant-messaging applications or social networks. Personally, I daily check my emails. Email is a secure way to exchange opinions and data. The company which I work for obliges each employee to talk via emails. And I am pretty sure that most of the companies do so. Social networks violate our privacy while instant-messaging applications are not that safe, are they?

Yes, I am still using email! I use Gmail and Gmail is a free email service that everyone can use! It is a brilliant service with a great design and I know how to all the features that this email provider offers to me.

Anyone who says no is a liar, you still need email for everything tech related such as signing up and receiving alerts.

I actually prefer email to texting or messengers. I can easily organize my email into folders and access them anywhere with very little bandwidth used. The same cannot be said about the rest.

I haven't use e-mail to actually have a conversation with someone in so, so long. But nowadays with all the fancy packages you can buy for your phone, you can end up texting internationally with no extra costs. I was able to call/text my dad when he visited Spain from England and it didn't cost me an extra penny.

Yes I still use e-mail, but for business/work related stuff only, besides that I use Facebook to keep in touch with family and friends.

Yes I still use email, as it is more reliable than social media and more often nowadays social networks are hiding messages that don’t agree their political point of view.

[Ash 26]

I still use my email. I don't actually contact friends or family with it obviously but I use it for all the sites I am a member of etc.

[ZandraJoi 1]

I’m not one who believes in cell phones so don’t do texting. I also don’t care for social media & real-time chat. Emails are an oldie but goodie. I have 5 email accounts. I have different ones for different things. i.e. one is for family. One for newsletters. One when I need to email questions & may get spammed. Then the other 2 I keep in case that 3rd one I need to delete from too much spam lol

I use my email for a lot of stuff and it is my primary form of business communication.  At work we use emails for everything, so no escaping that.

[Lämmchen 6]

I use email because a lot of businesses use email and our postal system doesn't deliver our mail all the time, so we do things online and invoices and receipts are done by email.

I use email rarely.  It's only to verify accounts and to check up on money stuff.   Well, with Facebook, I can contact family, friends etc. thru messenger.   However, a lot of people apparently check email as much as in the past.

[EmpireKicking 155]

Indeed I do use my email accounts and address a lot, In fact, I use outlook as my main and it's always open on a tab when my system is online  I keep getting so many emails verifying accounts for any platform that I'm using to copy and enter the code to able to log in.
