I talk to my wife on the phone once or twice a day, more when see each other on weekends. As for family & friends, it varies greatly. I had a job speaking on the phone 7.5 hours a day, five days a week, & got so burned out that I now dislike lengthy phone conversations. In person, it depends on the person and what we have to talk about.
I could probably go for several weeks without speaking to anyone. Early in our marriage my wife would give me the silent treatment when she got really mad at me, but she quickly learned that I could hold out much longer than her.
