helping my insecure friend

My best friend has gone to uni and now lives 2 hours away, and soon when I go to uni it will be even more!
We still talk almost everyday and I have visited a few times, but I'm just quite worried about her. She is VERY insecure and gets very upset over silly things like boys not liking her back and any snide comments about how she looks she will brood over for a long time. I often get phonecalls where she is crying uncontrollably because someone has said something about her. She is gourgeous but doesnt think she is. I'm just wondering if there is anything I can do to help make her feel better? I can't always be there for her, but I still just want to make her happier. She has lots of friends at uni and they are all nice, but she just doesnt trust them and stuff.
I'm just wondering if there is anything that I can do to make her happier?
any ideas becuase it makes me unhappy when she is unhappy!
thanks

A friendship without trust is not a friendship.

I have a friend like that. I just try to build up her self-esteem as much as possible eg. lots of compliments about her looks. Perhaps you should go visit her one weekend, cos there's only so much you can do on the end of a phone.
