Staying in Contact
Throughout your trips I'm sure there are people you wish to stay in contact with just to share your experience and keep up to date with what they are doing. Nowadays staying in contact is super easy and relatively cheap if you know what to get.
Also staying in contact nowadays is very important I recently received a letter from the police that there is someone who calls a random phone number and asks "who are you?" as well as private numbers calling that they have your family members hostage and want money. This is no joke! It's not one of those fake ones that you see on your facebook wall telling you to do it or someone is going to die. Staying in contact can minimise the risk of these morons lying to your parents about having you hostage... Anyways getting a bit dramatic and dark I'll continue...
1. Facebook/Twitter ~
2. Skype~ Although it has been around for quite a while it is very good for calling internationally
however you have to pay for it but it is cheaper to call through Skype than to call from your
phone.
3. Whatsapp ~ Latest app, although it doesn't have a function to video call (I dont think?) it is quick!
I heard from friends that whatsapp is no longer free only for those who were early users.
4. IDD ~ Stands for International Direct Dialing. If you have this in your phone package calling can be
very easy however bear in mind that the prices are pretty expensive and your parents must
have IDD to answer your calls. If you don't have IDD you can easily get in your local phone
plan store e.g. 1010 or One2free etc.
6. Email ~ Hotmail, Gmail, yahoo etc.
7. The traditional way: Calling or writing a letter for those who have a soft spot for the traditional.
