subject: Keep in touch with cheap phone calls [print this page] For many people who have friends and family living overseas, keeping in contact is extremely important so that you remain close and know what is going on in each other's lives. Keeping in contact can be expensive, which is why many use email to keep in touch. However, it is also rewarding to be able to pick up the phone and actually talk to each other, hear the voice of your loved one and the pleasure of finding the conversation more natural and less stilted, which is what happens with letters and emails. If you are missing someone who is abroad it is comforting to hear their voice.
To make a phone call and receive the full benefit of the call it is preferable to be able to chat for as long as you want and not have to think about the length of time you are on the phone. There aren't many companies that provide cheap phone calls unless you sign up to a lengthy contract or pay a monthly fee for the service. Some companies require you to give credit card details or set up an account, which many just don't want to do.
