Honestly, I don't even know if I'd bother with voice, if you had the choice. (Use Skype or something else). I don't particularly want to say that SMS is the future, but various forms of text messaging are.
I thought that article was absurd and unrealistic. While I acknowledge that text messaging is very convenient in some situations, it is incredibly cumbersome if what you're calling about has the need for a lot of back-and-forth communication. SMS is old tech...it's the past, not the future, and is also absurdly expensive considering the virtually non-existent cost the the telecoms (but that's OK, the main users are teenagers whose parents foot the bill [smirk]).
