This way, there's no need to wait for friends to read messages and type their replies.（将"phones"改为"phone"，使语句更自然；用“First of all”替换“first”，使表达更清晰；用“since”替换“because”，避免重复；调整句子结构，使语句更流畅。）

and you can ask further questions or further information which you need after you listen your friend's opinions and answers. and seek additional clarification or information based on your friend's opinions and responses.（调整句子结构，使语句更流畅。）
