Since we are both home now, we talk so often during the day I can't say. However, when we worked in offices, we spoke on the phone probably once a day.

DH is a corporate pilot and travels all over North & South America and the Caribbean ... if he's in NA, usually once a day on the phone at bedtime & randomly through the day by text or fb. If he's outside NA and has decent Internet connection, then we skype at bedtime. Otherwise it's just fb messaging. Always a text as soon as he has taxied in at his home airport When he isn't flying, we talk all the time ... I homeschool our boys so we are both home. Ironically, we still text and message a lot because we are on different floors of the house.

Dh works from his home office whenever he can. If I'm not awake before he goes to work in the morning, he keeps the office door closed so he doesn't wake me up talking on the phone.
When I get up, I will open dh's door because with all the computer equipment in that small bedroom it gets really hot. Dh had to put in a window a/c unit to help keep the room cool enough in the summer. He is cold most of the time, so he doesn't mind it being warm in the room.
I will make dh breakfast and/or his morning latte now that we have an espresso maker that works with just the press of a button or two. I will also check in with him when he's holed up in his office for hours and doesn't come downstairs to get lunch.
I don't talk to him until he turns and speaks to me because I can't tell when he's on a phone call that's part of a conference call and is listening.
Dh will call before he comes home to see what I need. He will also call when he's out running errands to check up on me and see if I thought of something I needed.
We do like to talk to each other, and we'll chat while dh is working and isn't on a call. A lot of times dh is laser focused on his work, but there are times when he has to wait for the computers to do the tasks he implements--those can take several minutes to several hours. During those times dh just checks on the screens every once in awhile and sometimes even comes downstairs with his laptop to watch TV with me while he catches up with email or waits for the computers to finish--he sets up alerts that email and text him when they finish.
When I'm out with my mom or friends, dh only calls when he needs something or needs to remind me of something. I also don't call him when he goes to play golf or has outings with his coworkers. Dh does check in with me when I go out of town with friends or my mom, especially when I'm not feeling my best.
We don't have to be on the phone with each other all the time, though. We were never like that even when we were first dating and always wanted to be together. He had his friends, and I had mine. We've always encouraged each other to be independent.
Dh does worry about me because I have so many health issues. I realize this and check in with him. Dh also put a locator app on my phone so if he doesn't hear from me or if my mom or friend calls him because they couldn't get up with me when we went out of town together or went to the mall together and split up, that he could locate me. Poor cellphone signal was the reason why they couldn't get up with me, but it is possible that I could pass out or fall and hurt myself while out. That has happened before.

While we are at work, rarely. I might text if I have a question.
