How long do you and your SO talk on the phone for?

[RyanAndMelinda]

Being so far apart, you must speak on the phone as often as you can.
My boyfriend and I talk at least 12-14 hours a day. Crazy, huh?! But, not for us.
It's love. Is there anyone else out there who shares a similar situation??

We usually talk on the phone for about 30 minutes a day, but we text a lot too. There are definitely days where we'll Skype for 2 or 3 hours, though. My SO has the crappiest phone service, so it can be frustrating but we feel very lucky we can talk almost every day. Twelve to fourteen hours does seem crazy, but I could definitely talk to him for that long. Dan and I have so much fun talking about everything and anything whether it be what happened that day, memories of the past, or hopes for the future.

we dont get to talk that often, or for that long. Both of us are busy. we do text quite frequently tho.

If it's a work day we'll speak max 2-3 hrs sometimes only 15 mins or so (if im working double shifts - which i do twice a week). When im off and neither of us has anything planned it can be 12-14 hours, that usually happens at least once a week. We use skype though, and sometimes we play games together. At the moment it's diablo 3 xD

12-14 hours on the phone? International relationships don't really allow that, not on my budget anyway. We talk all day though, on MSN from the morning until night, and when we throw Skype in there, we can talk for a good few hours; sometimes his need for sleep gets in the way of it, though. Being a student, we both have the luxury of frequent talkage, even when work/school gets in the way.

While LD I think he called me once or twice in the 2 years we were apart. Like Eclaire says, international is expensive! Originally we just emailed back and forth about once a week. As our relationship progressed we started emailing daily. Then we started using skype for about an hour a day on the weekdays. Weekends were always hit and miss.

I couldn't imagine talking to anyone for 12 hours a day. Or just doing anything other than mandatory bodily functions for 12 hours a day. I think that'd drive me insane.

We talk for about 2-3 hours a day, more if we skype and play gin online together :P and we also text throughout the day.

[Brieasaurus]

I'd say anywhere from a half an hour to an hour everyday. It depends though. Some days, we just stay in bed and skype all day but if he's working then he usually will call (depending on his hours and if I have class) before he leaves and during his lunch break. Same goes if he's out and about or driving anywhere that's kinda far away. I'm definitely glad we don't have international fees or anything so that we can talk outside of just skyping and texting.

My SO and I are more texters but I do get a 15-20 minute call when he's on break at work and a 2-10 minute call at night to say sweet dreams and what not.

Normally all day because of our phone plans its $2 a day for unlimitted talk and text. So we can normally only talk once maybe twice a week on the phone, we use email to make up for the rest of the days we cant talk on the phone. Emails are less of course because we can't spend 24/7 on a computer. Normally when we email its between 1-2 emails a day.

[USAlovesUK]

Usually at least an hour a day...sometimes 1.5 hours, sometimes longer. I'd say our average though is about 1.5 hours/day, and then we email/message each other on and off throughout the day

[Yaaamiii]

I'd say about 1-3 hours. It really depends though. Some days we only talk about half an hour (with some texting throughout the day), other times we'll talk for 1-3 hours at a time. :P Just depends on how tired we are I guess.

I'm a little weird in that I refuse to consider texting as a form of communication that works for my relationship. I know it works for others and hey, if it works, that's great! It doesn't for us though, and I guess we're just bad texters or something because we've gotten into fights over misunderstanding a text since you can't always interpret the persons tone of voice. I hate that we have gotten into arguments because of a text message, so I refuse to consider texting (for MY relationship) an effective form of communicating :P I'm also a very particular person when it comes to communication and I need to actually talk to my SO on the phone on video chat or something of that nature. I don't feel like we're really talking when we text. Plus, I'm kinda lazy xD. I don't feel like typing a whole conversation on a 2.5 inch keypad lol!

[Zapookie]

When we were LD, we tried to skype daily, usually about an hour or so. Otherwise we would just IM each other throughout the day.

[Katelyn313]

As far as voice chatting, we talk about 3-3.5 hours a day. It's pretty easy for us since we're in the same time zone and everything. He calls on the way to work in the morning, I call him on my break, I call on my way home and then we Skype when I get home and then he'll call from bed and we'll say goodnight. And we text a bunch throughout the day. I'm sure this will all change once we close the distance next year, but it's great for us now

That said, I'm with LucyBelle... I don't think Dylan and I could talk for that long everyday. Part of what we talk about is what went on in our day and what interactions we had with others and I feel like we wouldn't get that if we talked so much. But hey, if it works for you, great!

[Kiyama]

Wow 12-14 hours?! I don't think I've ever spoken to anyone that long on the phone.
During the week we get an average of 30 mins a day I would say. We both work full time and we have a time difference of 9 hours anything else wouldn't be possible. Sometimes it's only a few minute, sometimes an hour. Apoh and when I say phone I mean Skype
Weekends are different. Maybe 2 hours on a Saturday and about 5 hours on a Sunday when we have date night, the highlight of my week <3
