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.

My wife and sister-in-law talk for 3+ hours roughly weekly. And they’re three hours apart. Coffee shop for three hours; I get that. I think there’s a big difference between phone and face-to-face chats. I have many friends, some I could talk with for that long. Phone, no, but I don’t like the phone.
