My husband was just like this.
In school, he lived in Chicagoland and I lived in Maryland in the DC burbs, and the phone calls sucked. It was like pulling teeth. And he only called maybe once every two weeks (I'd usually call him once a week). Much later on I realized that he just hated the phone. He still has me do all of the phone calls that are necessary. Nowadays he can chat with me or my parents, but that's because we've been married for six years, dating for another eight on top of that!
Letters were something else entirely. He can take all day to write an email-- he doesn't feel the pressure to keep me entertained. Letters also allowed him to talk about what had happened the past week-- much easier to do if you're having a boring summer, where the best thing you did all day was read a magazine article on the john after coming home from work! His letters were two or three pages long, handwritten, and though not romantic were very nice.
So try letters! I'd be so bored if I was talking to "me" every day, because all I'm doing during the summer is hanging out on GreekChat, watching TV, and reading lots of books that my husband couldn't care less about. Not more than 5 minutes of conversation there, tops!
