I'll often have long conversations with my sister in TO. We had a 3.5-hour one this very weekend. These aren't discussions to catch up on what's going on in our lives, they are more philosophical and making sense of the world. I see her in person every two or three years. It would be weird to only have conversations when we are together.
I have a good friend in Kelowna - we've been friends for 45+ years - we'll talk about an hour each week or two. We spend most of the time trying to make each other laugh.
I have local friends, too. With one of them, we'll often spend 3+ hours at a coffee shop.
A conversation is a conversation - I don't understand why their length makes a difference whether they are on the phone vs. not.
