Most young Hispanics aged 16-25 are in touch with their friends daily, most commonly by text message or cell phone calls, according to Pew Hispanic Center. 
Those who are foreign-born are significantly less likely than those who are native-born to text their friends daily (26% vs. 65%) and talk to friends via cell phone daily (29% vs. 55%). That is partly explained by the fact that foreign-born Hispanics are less likely than native-born Hispanics to have cell phones (70% vs. 84%).
