Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) August 26, 2015
Even after moving abroad, Romania remains the place Romanian expats call “home”. They have left their mother country in search of a better life, to work or to study. But they still keep a close relationships with their family and friends who are still living in Romania, that’s what SunaRomania.com study shows. But how often do Romanian expats call home? And how much time do they spend, on average, when engaged in a phone conversations with Romania?
SunaRomania.com study reveals Romanian expats calling patterns:
- they call home at least weekly;
- they call mostly mobiles; although the rate for calling landlines is lower, a trend which is strongly influenced by the use of landline phones in Romania, which registers a significant decrease in the past 10 years
- on average, a call lasts 11 minutes
- they talk more in the cold season than in the summer
In close relationship with religious holidays, there were identified 4 peaks when calls are more frequent and last longer:
1. Easter (this way Romanians can wish “Paste Fericit” - “Happy Easter” to everyone back home)
2. Christmas (it’s during the Holidays season when they try as much as possible to replace a gift with a long conversation over the phone)
3. New Year (to wish “La multi ani” and send their prosperous year blessings to all their family members)
4. Mother’s Day (because no matter how long the distance, or how old they are, Romanians miss their moms).
