I can't speak for others, but in my relationship I find that it often takes some warming up for phone conversations to turn into something deep and meaningful. Usually half an hour at least. Maybe that's where the problem lies. Maybe you are just having problems with it 'cause you feel obligated to pack a lot of meaning into a short conversation. Just a thought. I do agree though that long emotional/philosophical/political conversations are pretty important for relationship development and just pretty fullfilling all around.
Sorry if before my comments weren't really directly related to the topic you initially stated.
