I always call him rather chatting with him and with long distance phone card. Sometimes they should take into consideration the time difference between 2 people. My husband work all day and I work all day and by the time I'm home his time is almost 1:00 am so that option is not so convenient not because our relationship is not genuine but rather circumstances won't allow us to communicate the way we want to so I end up calling him on the weekends and twice a week during the week. Hopefully they can understand the situation.
