The longest telephone conversation by a team of two lasted 54 hours and 4 minutes and is shared between Kristaps Štãls, who was paired with Patriks Zvaigzne and Leonids Romanovs who was paired with Tatjana Fjodorova (all Latvia).

The event took place at the Alfa shopping Centre in Riga, Latvia, from 9-12 March 2012. The event was organised by ‘Tele2’ communications and organised by SponsorKing agency. They talked about various topics such as aquariums, social dynamics and mind power.

1,000 couples originally applied to break this record, which were short-listed to the most impressive 5 in a series of auditions across cities in Latvia. 5 couples were selected, with the winning couple being Patriks and Kristaps and Leonids and Tatjana.
