Like a good son, I call my mother every week on Sunday. When we're finishing our conversation, she closes with Talk to you during the week. She uses this phrase like most people would use Talk to you later or just goodbye. She obviously doesn't mean it literally, because we rarely call during the week unless something comes up (like she's having a computer problem she needs my help with).
I've never heard anyone else use this phrase, and couldn't find it with a google search — is it just an ideosyncracy of hers? She grew up in 1940's Brooklyn, is it something that might have come from the Jewish community there?

There is a standard way to say goodbye: "See you later".
But of course on the telephone, there is no seeing. So someone may have thought to replace it with "Talk to you later". It is not a standard phrase, but everyone will understand.
What about "during the week"? I don't know. Maybe she is giving you a hint that she would welcome more frequent calls.
