Hello everyone,

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

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Now day's communication is much easier everywhere and I don't thinks there are still people paying for calls

I use Skype weekly and would use Whatsapp if only my family were tech-savy enough to know what it was!

Years ago I used to have a phone card to do landline calls, but I wouldn't dream of calling from a home phone these days when there are free alternatives using the internet.

There's only an hour difference for us so it is easy to plan calls.
