every chance we get...since he still in county jail, we are only allowed to talk during his one or two hour dayroom breaks. If we are lucky, we can squeeze two forty five minute phone calls in. But that's only if he gets dayroom during the early morning hours on a weekday, because I work midafternoon. Weekends is a guarantee (which is a plus because we also get visits!)

but its super expensive to talk and sometimes we run out of phone money for a while which makes the writing part super important!

for us theres a two minute and one minute warning lady,*this call will be terminated in 2 minutes* its so funny because ive learned to ingore the 2 minute warning, and know exactly when i need to say i miss and love yous to him before it cuts us off.... we both hate the warning lady
I hate the warning lady too

A few weeks ago I would have answered every day, sometimes twice a day! But now, its never. With this prison life, it can flip on its head it a matter of seconds. Its a small price to pay to be with him when he gets out. And who knows, he might get kicked back out to the yard tomorrow and we pick right back up!

When not on lockdown 2 to 3 times a week. He is on Level 4 yard (maximun security) so they have less privileges and less phone time. Right now they on lockdown so I haven't talked to him in 2 weeks.

We talk for 20 minutes, at least two times a day. If something is going on with one of us, it's usually more.

My bf calls me 2-3 times a day for 45 mins to an hour each time. They nicknamed him "phone bug" in the prison he is at.

Up to 3 times per week for on average half an hour at a time. I can't wait to have an uninterrupted, unhurried conversation with him.

I'm lucky to get a phone call once per week. There is no such thing as regular, consistent phone calls at his facility.

We talk 2-3 times a day. Although, I've told him we should cut back (sigh) because it is so expensive. But I hate going without hearing his voice. They're on lockdown right now so I haven't talked to him in a couple of days

As much as possible.

That can vary..
Sometimes 1/2 times per week, sometimes every night..
We only get 15 minute calls and 15 minutes FLY by, so I've been spoiling myself & him the past two nights and have accepted 2 back to back calls which is 30 minutes WHICH IS STILL NOT ENOUGH TIME!!

I do try to go see him every weekend and I still get letters, so it works! I just cannot wait to look in those eyes and hold him tight during those conversations!
