How many of you use skype to talk to family and friends far away?

@Hannihar Yes.

That is too bad they do not have it. So, do you call them on the phone when you want to talk to them and they call you when they want to talk to you?

@just4him Are they local so the calls are not much Valerie?

allen, did you like it or is there something better you like?

@Hannihar it is fine because it is free.

@allen0187 You are right allen it is.

@Hannihar yeah... Normal phone calls are now becoming "Obsolete"

Thank you Nitin. What are the other options instead of skype? I am still learning things that I did not know before so am curious.

@Rationalwriter Thanks Nitin. I am seeing it is very popular.

@dgobucks226 You are welcome DB.

DB, I bet it does. I am glad he enjoys seeing you on the screen and you seeing him.

@Hannihar Thanks Hanni!

i know every one has its own like and dislikes....but for one time up load whats up app...and try to communicate with your friends.....first it will find peculiar ...then it will be normal

@fwaheedq Thanks and maybe I will do that. I think I have that on my phone.

Thanks twaheedq, I understand. I do not use my phone that much and would rather use my computer to talk to people.

@Hannihar Well, the one friend that lives across the country, we mostly skyped because we did the NaNo ( A National Writing challenge that is done int he month of Nov where writers write a 50,000 word novel in one month) so we would skype to encourage one another, but that was years ago and neither one of us are interested in doing that again. Now we mostly communicate on Facebook. As for my daughter, she was only in the Philippines for a month, so she is back and we communicate either by email, phone, or Facebook and I see her twice a week because I help her at her dog grooming shop.

@Carmelanirel2 I see Carmela. So, how did the writing challenge go?

So what do you use now to talk to them Carmela?

It looks like a lot use whatsapp Freelanzer.

@Hannihar It's on Apple products. We have it on our iPhones, iPads, and laptop. You make a phone call through it and then you can see and hear the other person, even while walking around. We can turn the pictures to show our son the views and Orville. He shows us the cats so we can talk to them and watch them play.

@DianneN Sounds really cool.

Dianne, Is Face Time on the computer or the phone and what is it?

CaseyL, thanks.

Rhonda, did not know about that for facebook messenger. Thanks for the information.

This is the 2nd time someone mentioned facebook messenger. Please tell me how one can make overseas phone calls on it?

@rheicel So it is done on the phone. Thanks.

Sarit, do you have a lot of family outside of Israel and if so where do they live?

Did you like it Marlina?
