e-pals

Hardly anyone writes letters these days so instead of a pen pal we now have E-mail pals.

Sally: It really sucks that you're moving to Europe, i'll miss you so much. Will you write me?

Frank: Write you! No way but we can be e-pals.

e-pal

A person with whom one becomes acquainted only through a friendly, regular electronic correspondence, including email and instant messengers, but not including postal mail, as such a person would be a pen pal.

My e-pal Erica lives in Chicago. Although we've never met, we chat on instant messenger several times a week.
