Brits still rely on a call to feel connected and boost their mood

More than half of Brits still value the phone call as the most meaningful way to connect with someone – despite using text messages more.

Research has found 55 per cent think giving someone a ring shows they care about them much more than any other form of digital communication.

While 84 per cent feel hearing another person’s voice is important to deepening their emotional connection and 58 per cent of those find a voice call more special like being able to sense the tone and emotion in real-time.

The study, commissioned by Tesco Mobile, also found 47 per cent of those who use this method of communication believe a natter on the phone with a loved one improves their mood immediately – more so than any other way of keeping in touch.
