We Skype nearly everyday, but it's not always a long convo (at weekends yes). Then we chat every work morning. The occasional email. Nowadays it's mostly sending pics, links, etc. A good night text every night unless we've said good night on Skype. And the occational text during the day.
We've both been quite busy lately, so we send each other little messages and pics throughout the day. We do try to talk on the phone every evening. It's been working so far and I love it.
We try to chat on FB every night, but sometimes it is difficult to synchronize our schedules (he is coming home late from work, i need to sleep more because of studying). Sometimes we send a text message, once a while pics by e-mail and Skype on special occasions (New Years Eve, b-day etc.). I can´t do much of Skype, cause it makes me very sad to see my SO and not be able to touch him.

It is kind of sad. But my So make me almost forget "the screen " is there. And we kiss a lot over Skype, I think my phone had gotten more kisses than him by now!
I made love to him only twice, she thought and looked at the man laying asleep beside her. And yet still it is as if we have been together forever, as if he has always known my life, my soul, my body, my light, my pain
- Paulo Coelho, "Eleven minutes"
We talk basically every day, but we don't Skype every day. When we don't Skype, we send each other WhatsApp messages throughout the day. I almost prefer it that way, because then we're able to send each other cute messages and random things
Me and my SO talk everyday and as we both have iPhones we use iMessage and FaceTime which are brilliant... Free texting yay! We have whatsapp and Viber too as a back up . We deal with a 5 hour time difference (I'm in the UK, he's in USA) though which can be a pain, usually on a weekend I'll FaceTime him from 10pm-2/3am depending on when he finishes work. On weekdays I'll try to be off FaceTime for around 12am.. That doesn't always happen though! It may be tiring but he is definitely worth it... Since I last saw him which is coming up 3 & 1/2 months ago we've FaceTimed everyday, which I am so thankful for . We also try and make it so every morning we both wake up to a text from each other.
At the moment we can only talk to one another over the internet (so when we're at our computers).
I admit it sucks a bit, because I'd love to be able to text him. Hopefully it'll change soon!
We still manage to Skype everyday, even if it's not for long, it's better than nothing!
Wow, talk about multi-tasking! I could never do that.
It's because we always have SO many things to talk about....the new book he's working on; how my business is going; what our kids are up to; what we did during the day when we were apart
And then sexy time of course.
When we love, it isn't because the person's perfect, it's because we learn to see an imperfect person perfectly.
True love does not worry about the distance between, for the heart and soul travels through one's words
When two people are meant for each other, no time is too long, no distance is too far, and no one can ever tear them apart.

My SO and I talk every day as well. It's easiest on my days off of work (I work 4 days on, 4 days off, 12 hour shifts of 6 am-6:30 pm for two days and then 6 pm-6:30 am for two nights). We have a three hour time difference, with me being three hours behind him, and he goes to bed around when I'm just getting home from work on my dayshifts. For my night shifts, I have to sleep during the day but we can usually talk for an hour or so. We chat via facebook during non-duty hours when I'm at work though. We try to skype a few times a week and talk on the phone too. We text if I'm not at work either since I can't have my phone on me. He's lucky, he can step off the floor if I call and he's at work and text me throughout his work day. It's not perfect, but we make it work. We've found that we're both better at talking on the phone than talking via Skype. We're working on getting better at that though.
Our love story:

Reconnected: August 2012
Began dating LD: November 2012

We talk just about all day every day. Usually during the week it's mostly texting with some phone calls if timing is good, but phone calls are more frequent on the weekends.
He says good morning every other day. but nothing past that because he is at work and can't text. when im at work I can't text. I don't get to talk to him anymore and he is so stressed out and I think he is depressed. when he finally reached out to me after a few days he said he has been clamed up and talking to no one. I thanked him and told him I was there for him but he never texted me back. the next day I sent a little encouraging message. This week sucks for us....I think I can only handle so much. I hope this week I will have a chance to figure out a way for us to communicate better. fml....

Yep, that's what my SO does. I find it to be really cute. At the gym, starbucks, a friend's place, food courts. :-)
