Email or text: will one ever win?

Email or text? The debate has been hotting up with the increase in mobile internet posing the question: why pay for a text when you can send something extremely similar on the internet for free? But of course, email isn't free, you need to pay for the internet. But you could get around that by using your local library which has free internet (or at least the dozens I've been to have). But, if you get an email bundle on your mobile phone, then it is included which is now perceived as free. But that is the same with texts on many mobile phones. The thing with texts is (like Twitter in a way), there is a character limit. Whereas in email there isn't. This is a huge benefit, although I am coming to a conclusion. Neither is better, they both have their benefits and disadvantages. It is simply your own preference and what you have on your mobile phone.
