The study, which was carried out by Mobile Phone Checker, also found that 44% of women admitted to ditching their partner over a text or other method, while 62% had been dumped, compared to 47% of men via some digital device.
Of those who had been left single following a message, 39% said they had been in a serious relationship for more than a year, while 16% admitted they were married and had asked for a split or divorce over the phone.
37% of those polled defended their method of ending the communication, as they said they feared the other person's reaction, while 25% said that they were too much of a coward to say it their face.
Text messages were found to be the most common way to imitate a break up with 41%. This was followed by a phone call (27%), a private message via social media (18%), email (9%) or a public conversation via social media (5%).
52% of male participants said they would not consider breaking up with a woman face-to-face, compared to 18% of women.
Commenting on the findings, Adam Cable, Director of Mobile Phone Checker, said: "As the old cliché goes, 'breaking up is never easy' and it seems from this research that many people nowadays are making break-ups that little bit easier on themselves by using texts and phone calls to finish a relationship.
"One could argue that using a mobile phone for this purpose is the coward's way out, but our results also show that the majority of men and women actually feel that phone calls are an acceptable form of breaking up; whilst text messages are quite the opposite!
"Having said that, if a relationship is ending less than amicably, there is no way to make it easier or fairer for either person involved. Perhaps finishing something once and for all over the phone or through text will help individuals to deal with the break-up and move on quicker in the long term. I must say though, surely the decision to end a marriage deserves a little more thought and consideration that a text message!?"
