Distance changes friendships. It doesn't have to end them.

Moving to a new city, leaving college, changing jobs or living abroad can make it harder to see the people you care about.

You might go from spending time together every week to trying to find an hour when you're both free.

And when you're no longer part of each other's everyday routines, it's surprisingly easy to lose track of how long it's been since you last spoke.

SoonCall helps you make room for those friendships, even when you're miles apart.

Everything you need to keep long-distance friendships going

Keep track of your catch-ups

Remember the last time you had a proper conversation.

SoonCall's Catch-up Tracker lets you record when you've connected with someone and see how long it's been since you last spoke.

Whether you catch up every week or every few months, it's easier to keep your friendships on your radar.

Make planning across time zones easier

When one friend is starting their morning and another is finishing work, finding a good time to call can take some coordination.

SoonCall Pro includes a timezone helper designed to make planning catch-ups across different locations easier.

Know who it's time to reconnect with

When your friends are scattered across different places, remembering to contact everyone can be difficult.

SoonCall's Smart Suggestions help you see which friends might be due for another conversation, based on how often you'd like to catch up and your previous interactions.

Build a routine that works for both of you

Not every friendship needs a weekly phone call.

Some friends prefer a regular video chat. Others are happy with a monthly catch-up or an occasional spontaneous call.

SoonCall helps you track your preferred catch-up frequency, so staying connected feels more manageable.

How to make long-distance friendships work


An app can help you remember to reach out, but the friendship is built through the conversations you have.

Here are a few simple ways to keep the connection going.

Make a loose plan

Agree on a frequency that works for both of you. It doesn't have to be rigid.

Mix quick check-ins with longer conversations

A short call can be just as welcome as an hour-long catch-up.

Share the everyday things

You don't need a major life update to have a good conversation.

Remember important moments

Check in about the things your friend mentioned last time.

Make plans to meet when you can

Having something to look forward to can help maintain a sense of closeness.

Build a rhythm that works for you

The goal is to find simple ways to stay a part of each other's lives.

SoonCall works alongside the apps you already use


You don't need another messaging platform.

Keep using FaceTime, WhatsApp, your phone or whichever communication tools work best for you.

SoonCall helps with the part that happens around those conversations: remembering to reconnect, keeping track of catch-ups and making it easier to maintain contact.

Stay close, even when you're far apart


Long-distance friendships take a little more intention, but they don't have to feel like hard work.

SoonCall helps you remember the people who matter and make time for the conversations that keep your friendships going.

Start free with up to five relationships, or upgrade to Pro for unlimited relationships, automatic catch-up reminders and a timezone helper.
