If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up
When my wife was in the Philippines I bought her a netbook. She preferred that to a laptop. But when she left for the UK, she gave it to her mom so that she could chat to her mom from the UK.
Her mom has a good internet connection so they talk to each other on Skype regularly.
This is exactly what i did but not everyone can afford to buy a decent laptop when there are so many other costs involved.
Exactly....the computer was only going to be needed until she got her visa (estimated 5 months) then it was going to be passed on to family.
A simply tube monitor, basis keyboard and best quality webcam all for the princely sum of 18000 peso's plus 1000 peso's a month line rental which at the time was £9 ....we understand that same pc is still working without fault nigh on 4 years later.
Sure beat paying out for those extortionate phone bills
I agree Rory, everyone has a budget. I have done this over time. But we started out as most do... then you get to know about the cheaper options and go for them. When we (my wife and I ) started talking over the web there were no such things as HD webcams, but on a good day the reception and clarity is amazing.

Yes. My wife gets some good connections when she chats with her mom. But not so good when she chats with her sisters as they both have different network sources. It depends a lot on what sort of broadband is available at either end / both ends simultaneously.
