Skype!

Most of the time when I need to contact my Dad who lives in a different country I use Skype. Using skype is easier because as well as talking to someone you can see them as well ( if they have a web cam). The reason why I chose Skype is because its free to use meaning that I don't have to ring my Dad  on his mobile phone and waste my money. On skype you can also write messages to the person you are talking to, so if the person you are trying to contact can't hear you or vice versa you can message them instantly so that they know. My dad also prefers to use Skype because with him living in a different country he can't see me very often so using a web cam helps.
