Hello everyone,

What are the best ways you've found for keeping in touch with friends and family back home while living in the United Arab Emirates? 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 the United Arab Emirates? What do you think of the cost?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

I current live here in UAE,there are may ways you can reach your loved ones at home. Mobile international phone calls and sms are allowed but the cost depends on the countries of destinations also some voip services applications could also be used but needed to used vpn as most of the services are restricted by the government.
