Text trap

When someone knows you don’t like to talk on the phone, and they send a text as a way to know when you’re holding your phone so they can call you.

Sorry I’m late, my mom tricked me with a text trap and I ended up on the phone with her for 20 minutes.

A text message that someone only sends so they can call you when you reply, because now they know your phone is in your hand.

I don’t want to reply to her yet, she always text traps me. Why do we need a 5 minute phone call about something I ALREADY ANSWERED IN MY TEXT?!
