I'd say once a week, more if you were closer and talked more when she was at home.
Emails are a really great way to communicate parent-child because you can say what you want, and she can read it when she wants to and if she's annoyed you won't hear about it. Plus you know your message was sent and she'll eventually get it. Whether it be a personal message or a cute e-card or funny forward (though I'd avoid the stupd forwards or chain letters). She'll be missing the old familiarities of home in a short while.

My daughter moved out almost 2 years ago and we had a very good relationship with each other. There is not a day that goes by that we don't talk to each other on the phone and sometimes as many as 10 or 15 times a day (depending on what is going on). We both call each other all the time. She still to this day will call me when she is on her way to work, on her breaks, when she is off work and when she gets home. I don't ask her to do that either, she just does it. We get along very good. So I would call her as many times as you feel like you want too. Make sure you ask her if she is busy before you start chatting with her. That is the way my daughter and I do, we always ask the other as the other answers the phone "are you busy" then we go from there.

How close were you to her when she lived at home? Under what circumstances did she leave home?
If you both were close and she left under good terms, then I would say every other day would be plenty enough to call her. If she feels that that is too much or not enough she will tell you, or you should be able to figure it out if she wants to cut off the conversation short or claims she is too busy to talk right then. Ask her how often she wants to hear from you.
Get yourself involved in other activities so that you don't dwell on her absence so much.

I a daughter who just moved out of state, and I miss my mom a lot. Just call her and let her know that you think about her all the time. Ask her to be patient with you because you feel like you want to call her all the time, but don't want to be a pest.
There's nothing wrong with it as long as you're not calling her hourly...she'll appreciate that you care so much and miss her.

Depends how close you are 2 her, me and my mum spoke on phone at least twice a day and see each other at least 5 outta 7 day's a week.
Do you always ring her or does she ring you all so?
Is she always happy when you phone and very chatty or does she say she was just on her way out or got friend's there or busy cooking/housework?
Without knowing these thing's i cant really help you much but think about what I've said.
Only you know your daughter, let her know your always there for her and she should never be to proud to ask for help if she has any problems she don't know how to deal with.
I hope i'v helped a bit
Good luck :O)

How does she feel about you? My oldest daughter and I are very close and talk almost every day - my youngest and I are close but we talk less often - sometimes once a week - sometimes once a month.
Call and ask how she's doing - let her take it from there. She'll let you know when enough is enough.
Good luck and I know the feeling - but it does get easier.

I would recommend calling only once a week, and see how often your daughter seems to call you. Just be upbeat and don't make her feel guilty for having moved out. You did what you were supposed to do--raise an independent child.

Call her when you don't think she'll be busy. Pay attention to how she sounds; if she sounds irritated, then wait about a week before you call again. If she sounds thrilled to hear from you, call again in about three days. Most women speak to their mother at least once a week.
When I first moved out, I was desperately lonely too. I didn't want to call my mom because I felt like a baby doing so. It was great to have her call me.
