(sorry i forgot the poster who originally talked about this....) I agree!!! Excellent book choice!!

We also spoke via Viber when we were in Italy last year. Both ends of the call must be signed up, but that's easy. There's apps for iPhones, as well as Androids. Google it to check it out. LT Thank you! I think Viber might be the ap I was thinking of when I was formulating the OP. I will look into this as well as setting up the roaming thing with Verizon.

She also had Skype on her phone so she is using that to call home too. That is one option. She called my last night using the Skype Thank you; I think it was the international roaming thing we set up on my older daughter's trip too. I think we'll do that again.

I was barely able to get enough bars to get online and upload a photo to Facebook or through e-mail. Not only does the signal have to travel long distances, there are a LOT of people using the broadband. I got my best connection first thing in the morning about 5:00 am. I'd be surprised to find a signal strong enough to do Facetime or Skype. There is a 6 hour time difference so finding a time that's good for both of you might be tough. Just make sure you set it up before she leaves. I rented a... Continue Reading In Electronics Talk 1369047671.84 On 5/19/2013 VolvoGirl said: Skype is great, I use it. I would think you can use it anywhere even outside the US and probably on smart phones too. Or if you have an iPhone you can use Facetime. I think it's basically the same thing except just between Apple devices like iPhones, iPads and Mac. Actually I can Skype and Factime my friend as we both have Apple but I must say that Facetime comes in better. Thank you for this information.

If so and she has skype, I don't see any reason why you can't use it for reaching each other. I have never used skype, but my wife has it on her tablet along with a front facing camera and she talks with her cousin all the time using that method. Her cousin is in California, but from what I understand, skype can be used for international communication also. Maybe I am wrong on this one. Only reason I am attempting to answer this is because I don't see any replies yet. I am sure there are others here that can giv... Continue Reading Last Reply by faeriemoon 1369053521.78 | Started by faeriemoon in Electronics Talk Is it better to adjust your cell phone plan for international calling or to download an ap or program (skype or g-chat or another) instead? DD is travelling to Dublin and London and will only have WiFi in the hotel lobbies. When my older daughter travelled internationally the only option was to arrange service through the cell phone provider, but we have been told that there are aps for this now. Any advice is appreciated if you are familiar with this subject. TIA.

I love the new sleeveless tank with the chiffon trim, but it doesn't come in black.
