Hello everyone,

Hope someone can help please. I'm moving to the UAE beginning of July and want to stay in regular touch with my Dad. He is 65. What would be best for him, I'm thinking of getting him a laptop and teaching him how to use email, he has just discovered he has broadband, but obviously he will have to pay for this service each month; or for him to buy a phone card to cheaply stay in touch by phone.

I'm staying with my father this weekend coming so would love some replies before then.

Many thanks!
