The research, carried out by Mobile Phone Checker, found that 54% of couples never spoke on the phone before they became an item, while a further 22% claim they don't talk on their phone, choosing to use Facebook, text messages and other forms of social networking to communicate instead.
22% of respondents also said they never spoke to their other half on the phone, adding that it would take an emergency for them to do so. There was some hope, however, with 38% of couples saying they spoke to their partner on the phone every day, with 16% speaking more than once a day.
For those who never communicated via the phone, they said their preference was a text or social networking (64%).
A significant 71% also felt that talking to their partner on the phone failed to add anything to their relationship.
Elsewhere, it was discovered that 28% of those polled met their current partner online through social media and dating websites and got to know their partner via text messages and social networks first before they went on that first date.
Adam Cable, Director of Mobile Phone Checker, said: "It appears that the days of sitting around by the phone waiting for a prospective date to call are well and truly over. The results from the study highlight that nowadays, instead of one long phone call to catch up with each other's day in the evening, it is now much more common for couples to rely on texts and social media continually throughout the day to keep in touch.
"Perhaps it is because texting and social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter are free for many couples, or maybe it is because many find initiating a conversation on the phone somewhat embarrassing or nerve-wracking. Nevertheless, the results are in and with such high statistics it does seem, sadly, as though the 'death of the phone-mance' has well and truly arrived."
