Hello everyone,

What are the best ways you've found for keeping in touch with friends and family back home while living in Bahrain? How frequently do you stay in touch with loved ones?

Are there local equivalents to common instant messaging and online video calling services that you prefer or are more widely used?

If there is a sizeable time difference, how do you manage this?

Do you make international phone calls from a landline or mobile phone from Bahrain? What do you think of the cost?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Priscilla

I usually have Video Conference Via Skype twice A week , I strongly Recommend Using Skype Calling System For international Calls , Rates Might be way cheaper depends where you calling to , Anyhow if anyone would love get more details on a specific Country best Online Provider , you can simply give me message with your destination Country .[/b]
