How do you keep in touch with your family living far away from you? Nowadays communication has improved considerably leaving letters sent by post behind. Post office is mostly used to send documents, money and other things. Personal letters are now handled with email, whatsApp, LINE and some others.
I communicate with my family via WhatsApp and Line, we seldom use facebook. What about you? How far does you family live from you?

Voice call is a bit costly unless for emergency.

@yanzalong We have a VOIP phone so we have no long distance anywhere in Canada. Makes things a little bit easier. Voice quality is pretty bad though sometimes.

Your dad doesnt want to change his phone. Does he phone you often?

@yanzalong he used to phone me from his house phone but for the past 2 months he hasn't phone me. I couldn't phone out either because mine is a prepaid phone, expired already, so I can only use whatsapp to communicate with others. Am worried though....

I have not got whatsapp but I am not against it either so I use facebook at the moment as I am looking for family lost over time.
Glad you keep in touch.

Tell your dad to replace his phone with a better one so that communication can run smoothly.

@lovinangelsinstead21 FB is good but we have to double the security otherwise your password may be stolen. This happened to many of my friends who had to sign up again as new users.

@yanzalong
Most of the people I have managed to find was on Facebook although I do like Whatsapp really but others around me just don´t.
Matter of time afore they get used to the idea.

I prefer facebook message, WA, and LINE to communicate. I seldom make voice call as it is quite expensive.

Back when I was in Bkk my means of communication with my family was FaceTime. Now I'm using iMessage with my friends, and Viber for work.
