Twice-thrice a year...But it depends of my aims, may be 2-3 times a day)
I always speak in my native language.
I never make a phone conversation in English, because my partners don't speak English. But if my foreign students ask me in English on the phone about something (SMS) I answer them in English too. Unfortunately, it happens very seldom.
I never had a phone conversation in English yet. because i don't think that i have enough vocabulary to express mýelf
I've never make a phone calls in english, because peoples around me not understand that english. but i want to practiced and tried to improve my english skills. ^^
In this case, I never call to my friends in English, because they don't understand English. I have a brother who is in India, and sometimes I chat with him in English. I should say that it is the main problem of mine that I don't have an English student partner. If there were somebody, I would prefer to call him/her and speak English.

I sometimes do phone calls in English with my friends
I’d like to make phone calls in English mostly, but, unfortunately I’m not confident Regarding my English and I think, I won’t have a good conversation In English with other people. That’s why, I occasionally make phone calls for my essential works and I prefer to leave a text instead of phone call.
Exactly when I tray to call any one If I can’t get him sure I need to leaving my phone number or my address to call me when he come back
Best regards
Thanks
