Ah, long distance relationships and the phone... what a combination. One time, Mrs. Bee and I broke our personal best records and spent hours and hours on the phone... I won't reveal the exact number, because it was embarrassingly high!
It got me wondering though: what's your personal record for hours on the phone with your SO?
It was so long ago I don't remember the number of hours but I do know it was extremely long!
And I remember many times us both falling asleep on the phone and waking up with us still both on the line LOL!
I can't really remember the longest but there were a lot of nights where we stayed on the phone half the night! Not a good combo with high school.
Fi and I had a 6.5 hour phone conversation once - he literally talked to me until I got to class and sat in my desk, then we finally said goodbye!
It was when we first started dating... it was a good 6 hour conversation!! Haha now we're lucky if we get an hour in! I'm always like "Remember the good old days when you'd stay up until 4am to talk to me??" lol
I actually have no idea how we stayed on the phone that long!! New love makes you do crazy things :)
I think it helps when you don't have to wake up for a job too!
The Fi and I started with a long distance relationship, him in NJ and I in VA. So when we started dating we would be on the phone all the time. I think our longest in one sitting was 6 hrs straight! No sleep before work! I'm glad he moved here 6 mons after!!
Hmm .. probably aroundd the 3 hour mark when we were in our LDR stage of the relationship! We also spent HOURS on AIM. (haha ... this is the second post I've mentioned AIM on today ... )
I love AIM! Too bad almost no one is ever on there anymore! I guess FB chat and G-chat have replaced it.
I'm thinking probably around 2 or three hours. Neither of us are really phone people, but we definitely talked on the phone a lot when we are long distance!
We didn't really have all that much phone time..a lot of it was on Yahoo. Because he was 8 hours ahead of me (Iraq), I'd stay up all night until he had to go to work and talk to him. When he got to Kuwait, we'd talk to two hours exactly every night.
But I remember a few times where we were on the phone for hours...Like, 6+
The longest I remember was 4.5 hours, and my BF doesn't like the phone so that's pretty good for him. Now we probably talk an hour or two a day but it's broken up into shorter conversations through out the day.
When FI and I first got together it was on a trip he made out here on vacation. THen we were separated for 3 1/2 months before we saw each other again. We talked every day and regularly had 2-3 hour calls. I think we only missed one day the whole time.
about 3.5 hours during Christmas break when we first started dating. Otherwise, lots of little phone calls between school and him being military and whatnot. He's not really a phone person, and I just didn't have the time to chat too much.
When he was deployed we got 30 minutes every Saturday morning. That was it =(
We once stayed on the phone ALL day! I mean FI called me and woke me up that morning. We were on bluetooth while showering and getting ready for work..and stayed on the phone all day (I was at work, he was at home). I have 2 bluetooths so I would charge one and talk on one...LOL!
Even though we are only 3.5 hours away, work keeps us apart a lot so we avg abt 10,000 minutes a month of talk time. A lot of those minutes are overnight though b/c we each will put our phones on speaker so that we can hold conversation until we each drift off to sleep...sometimes the phones will lose signal and hang up, sometimes he's still there in the morning. I know I know...we take pillow talk to a whole 'nother level...LOL
We are not engaged... (yet) haha ...but the longest we've been on the phone is about 4 hours. We talked every day for about two hours not counting Skype (thank God for Skype!)
We never talk on the phone that long, but we do call each other at least 5 times a day. We used to live together and we would talk all the time so it's really hard not being able to do so. We crossed the US last December (3000 miles) and I think we talked the whole time. Never during the 7 days it took us I tought I was bored.
I am in stunned amazement JamaicaBride! That's totally insane in a good way...lol...
When we first started dating we averaged about 50 hrs a month and even more online. I still find it funny that we are both dead by 1 now but would be on the phone till 4 when we were first dating :) Our longest record was a Sunday and we were on for 7 hours :) That was back when my parents had a rule that we had to be off by 10 so we'd just get on earlier... lol
We talk over Yahoo Messenger, and we average about 2 hours per weeknight. Weekends we usually talk for 4 to 6 hours, but we take at least one break in there for meals, etc. The longest we've stayed on at a stretch has probably been about 8 hours.
I will admit to a ridiculous phone bill that happened last Christmas season, when he went home to his family and had no computer. $2300. I kick myself for this all the time when I think that could have paid for two round trip tickets to see him, or a big chunk of our wedding! Never never again! 
Hahaha I don't even know!!!! Our phone conversations were a lot longer when we first started dating because we were getting to know each other and all that good stuff. Our phone pattern is different now because we tend to talk more throughout the day (a couple of 10-15 min. conversations) and then have a longer conversation at night. It seems to work for us because we feel like we are keeping up with each other's days even though we are apart.
Four hours. Pretty amazing, considering we both hate talking on the phone to anyone else, including our previous SOs!
Three hours was our longest phone conversation, I cut it short because I had to wake up to go to work in 4 hours. I know it would have gone longer if I wouldn't have insisted on sleep. Isn't it amazing how fast times flies when you are having a good telephone conversation?
When he first left, we would talk for like 8 hours at a time, because it was summer and neither of us was in school (he teaches). Then real life set in and now we average 2 1/2 - 3 hours a weekend.
@mismikado...I know..it's ridiculous. The first month I got my phone bill I could have passed out. After we both switched to unlimited plans though...it's all good now =) It's exra-crazy b/c neither of us were big phone talkers prior to each other.
For the (awful) year that we were long distance, we spent a lot of time on the phone with each other, texting and talking both. Each month we averaged 1800 minutes (30 hours) of talk time and at least 1000 texts.
LDR's are hard - but I'm happy that I live in this day and age with all the available technology.
about 3 or 4 hours, considering we work full time, thats most of our evening gone!
Probably 4 hours! You spend soooo much time on the phone in LDRs! But it's good because you learn to talk to each other really well. :)
i don't remember but i want to say it was over 4 hours. this was in our early stages of the relationship because now we average maybe an hour. and i'm glad because i remember being very tired for work every day! lol
We met online and our very first phone conversation lasted a little over 4.5 hours and no less than an hour a nite for three weeks after that! Which is quite something, because I hate talking on the phone and I never talk more than 30 minutes with anyone before that!!! Now throughout the day we will talk at least twice a day if not more before we both get home from work!!
A mere two weeks after we met, it was Valentine's Day and we had a blizzard! Although we had plans to go out, we were 30 miles apart. He called me up on the cell phone and we talked for 4.5 hours and that was the longest phone conversation I ever had in my life!
I think we have only had one really long phone conversation. Probably 3 or 4 hours right when we started dating. But man, we text like crazy! FH doesn't like to talk on the phone, so he is all about texting. So that's our main form of communication when we're not with each other. We've never done the LDR thing, neither of us like the idea of that, but even when one of us is out of town for the week, the most we can manage is a 10-20 min call a day saying we love each other and miss one another and that's about it! Other than that it's texting, lol.
The fiance and I actually met online so if you count from the time we started talking online which was approximately 14 hours and then you add in the time we spent on the phone once we were tired of typing which was another i'd say 10 hours we spoke for about 24 hours before we actually met...this was all in 2 days! EPIC conversation lol.
3-4 hours probably - Lambster is NOT a phone person - I remember being shocked that he talked to me for so long! We've def. fallen asleep on each other before because we tend to talk later in the evening.
I did an LDR for 13 aganizing months. I think our longest phone conversation was one hour. and that was VERY rare. My husband definitely did not take my phone time records. He hated talking on the phone!!
My personal record is 4.5 hours, I think.
We stopped counting at 5 hours. I think I ended up falling asleep on him and waking up 2 hours later with my Blackberry on my pillow. LOL!!! He told me later he didn't have the heart to hang up on me and sat the phone down. I guess I eventually hit the button in my sleep or him in his because we were disconnected the next morning. Lucky we have those unlimited anytime minutes with Verizon. LOL!!!
the longest we been on the phone with each other had to be closer to 4 hours. but that was a typical night for us when he was still working because we would always "sleep" with each other on the phone every night. i definitely remember going over the minutes every month until i upped my phone plan since we werent on the same network.
this is a cute question ^_^ me and my FI met on eharmony... and we ended up having 4 3-5 hour conversation every night before bed before we met in person. we joked that we should stop talking because when we actually met we would have nothing to talk about. ;-) good thing that wasn't a problem during our date.
This is near embarassing but we spoke for 7.5 hours once... we hadn't spoken in a day, so we had to catch up!
I believe the longest was about 8 hours, he lived in Columbus at the time and me in Cleveland. We spent many of night just holding the phone, to be young and in love, LOL. We even had nights where we dozed off and woke each other up.
