I love to talk on the phone (I talk a lot  )
I'm also a mad texter.....
When does it stop at being cute and cross over to just plain annoying...

I hate talking on the phone texting too.  but Im a sucker and always respond.
I would look for over aggravated signs, response comes slower and less frequent, they knock it off thing too. Other then that I love getting them just am a horrible texter
But Im with Mums and Rob I dont get as many as i would like, or from the who i would like
Yeah what Dooney said, but said better then I

It really depends on the other person. If he seems at all annoyed when you call or he never calls you (you always call him), then you probably need to let up a little.

I had this one woman who would text me 10 times a day and call 5 times every day. It gets to be really annoying mainly because I'm working and I can't stop every 30 minutes to answer a text or phone call. I was flattered by the attention, but I also began to wonder if she had a life or perhaps she was a stalker.
When I first go out with someone I will generally call 2 to 3 days later if I am still interested. I have found that calling too much turns women off... it makes you seem clingy or needy.

Instead of waiting 2-3 days, i think asking when would be a good time to call is a good idea. That lets her know you are interested and will be calling.
And if she says, "Call anytime', then she likes you and she means exactly that.

Yikes...now I'm skeered...I actually stopped seeing an otherwise nice guy because he wouldn't STOP texting me...something I absolutely despise. It may be an age thing - I grew up in an era when phone calls were mostly for emergencies because phone calls ARE intrusive. That's what I love about email - it suits everybody's schedules and lifestyles.

It will be different for everyone, but most people have jobs and families, and there can be overkill with the phone.
If it is a standing relationship, call him/her once, then let them have some "call responsibility"

If its someone I'm really into, no matter how much they call or text I pretty much never get annoyed.
Anybody else, text or say during the initial call everything you possibly want, cause as soon as i get that second call, I'm wondering "What they hell could they want now?"
I'm not real big on talking on the phone or texting "just because" when it comes to someone outside of my SO, dad, aunts and uncles, or my grandmother. With that select group, however, there is no limit.

Well I guess it's about time to tell all of the people on my messenger lists how much I can bear.
1 hour, after 1 hour of chatting I start to become impatient and restless and I want to end the chit-chat and do other things. If chatting goes on too long I will be most likely doing other things. I will take longer to respond because I might be operating other files or programs on my computer, watching a movie, doing laundry or dinner. I want to be kind by letting people know that I like chatting and shooting the breeze them but at the same time the back of my mind is saying ...... c'mon I've got sh!t to do before the sun sets or before I have to show up for work the next day.
Does anyone out there for that matter feel comfortable with telling someone that they have to take a big crap  and don't know how long it will take when they are in the middle of an instant messenger conversation or on the phone with someone? Has anyone ever took the phone to the bathroom with them or left the Yahoo messenger voice calls on while ?
These questions aren't just restricted to friend IMer's but relatives and friends too. Mom sometimes just doesn't know when to stop when we are having telephone conversations 
So my answer is yes, I have issues with long winded non-time conscious chatters.

So much of my chatting is done on the internet, with "real life friends" too ... and Rolf only calls when we're going to hang out....
So...I don't know.
But usually it's not the amount of calls that's annoying but the timing of the calls and the reason for the call.
Like if I'm tired or not in the mood for a chat and the person gets me on the phone and says "RENAE IT IS IMPORTANT!" and I'm like "Oh shit, ok" and it's like "I JUST SAW THIS EPISODE OF CSI AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT" (This has happened to me before)...that makes me want to throw turkeys off of overpasses.

If you call me during a Chargers or Lakers game, it's too much. Lucky for me no one ever calls except the blasted telemarketers.

I don't get that many calls. However, if it's during a certain TV shows.. I probably won't answer or just call them back. Of course, I think this week is going into season finale for many of them. I know Angel likes Grey's Anatomy as I do. 
I know I can also taped the show but if they call in the middle or close to the end..
well.. I want to see the end... please
