There is a free program for your computer called Skype. I talk to my friends with Skype and there is no need to use a phone at all. Skype is free from computer to computer all over the world. I have a fairly new laptop and it has both built-in mic, and speaker. If you have an older computer you can buy a mic or headphones with mic. This is all you need!
Download Skype.com, and start talking for free today!

the telecommunications here in South Africa is pretty expensive, they work on a system called peak and offpeak hours. during peak hours the calling rate can be R4 per minute, and during offpeak hours it is around R1.2 per minute. so when we make phone calls during peak hour we try to cut it short. so a typical conversation between me and a friend would sound like this:
"hi,where are you?"
"Tygervalley (a shopping center)"
"meet me in front of woolworths in 30min and give me a miss call when you are there"
"bye"
the whole conversation should not take more than 20seconds to do.
but if we have things to catch up between friends we would choose on weekends or during offpeak hours then you can talk longer for cheaper

The longest I can go would be 2 hours. Anymore than that would make my ears hurt. Plus I'm really not a chatty person. I'm the person people call when they need someone to listen.

Frankly speaking, it depends.
When I am called up by the ones I like to talk, or we have common things to talk, I will not care about the time. I still remeber, when I fall in love with my BF, we had phones at leat once eavery day, and more than 30mins each time.hehe
But when I got the calls from the ones that I don't want to talk, I will try to find an excuse to complete the call as soon as possible.

Never. xD
Call me weird, but I can't stand talking on the phone. I'd much rather hang out with people in person, or chat online.

I'll be on the phone to my cousin for a really long time.
because we will just sit there on the phone with each other and not talk lol sometimes.. we do it sometimes while we are watching t.v if we are watching the same show. It's kind of funny.. i'm not really sure why do this, its just something we've always done since we were kids.
everyone else i talk to i'd say it really isn't that long
in less its like a new crush or something. lol

I am in college right now. I am an organizational communication major. I love talking to people whether on the phone or not. I like calling people rather than hanging up the phone. I can start a conversation and just talk for a long period of time. I never ran out of things to say to the person that I am conversing with. Ever since I was a child, I was very talkative and friendly. I would introduce myself to people and get to know them better. I guess that is the main reason why I love talking on the phone as well.

as an administrative officer i use to hold alot of calls, there are even times when i speak to a client for almost an hour while putting other clients in the waiting. i hate to be on the phone for a long time too but i have no choice sometimes clients can be very persistent and are annoying.

I do not use the phone much because if I do I am always on it for at least an hour, I cannot just have a short, sweet and quick phone call. By the time I get off the phone my ear is always burning and I am always bursting for the loo!
