5 Ways to Keep in Touch with your Kids for Free
Do your kids or grandchildren live in another state or country? Or perhaps you like to stay in touch while travelling? We’ve pulled together a list of online resources to stay in touch on the cheap and even for FREE.
Skype – with Skype you can make FREE calls online. By connecting to the Internet you can use your smartphone, tablet or computer to call or video-call from one user to another over the Internet. If you’re trying to call a relative who doesn’t have access to the Internet, Skype also offers cheap calling rates
Viber – Similar to Skpe, with Viber you make calls and send text messages to other Viber users without paying for the call over the Internet.
WhatsApp – a group messaging service on smartphones, which allows users to exchange messages over the Internet without having to pay for SMS.
FaceTime – Apple’s version of the above, allowing you to make video calls over Wi-Fi from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac to someone else’s.
Dropbox – have you ever tried to send photos or videos by email, but can’t because the file is too large? With Dropbox, you and your family can now save all your precious moments including photos and videos without having to attach files to emails. You control who has access to your Dropbox, so only the people who have access can view and upload files.
