guys, there is another way to communicate with your loved ones here in the philippines aside aside the one i posted just today.
try to let your loved ones use the sun cellular network. they have this service in which u can log on to yahoo messenger for p20 per day (p100/week and p300/month) that way u can chat anytime you want. she will be using her mobile and u, of course ur PC.
i have been using it for almost a year already and it is really good. and very cheap. i wanna give you the link but i dunno if keith will approve it. just google the SUN IMESSENGER.
hope this will help.
