Partly a device ****** IT question . Also an accessibility query. Tough
My 85 yr old cousin has an iphone and asked if i could chat face to face with her to liven the days. Shes spoken to her sister and could manage to lipread / the sound was ok.
We tried Whats app - too tinny
Facetime - i have an android phone
Theres nothing else I know of. Ilike to use a laptop . Is there anything we missed as a possibility
Best Wishes

Skype theres a thought . Thank you Our family used to use SKYPE it went awol so we started using Whats App.
If a laptop was used could my older relative's daughter get Skype up on an iphone......
Zoom ?
Zoom's on my laptop . My cousin may have a tablet. Any chance ?

We are going to try Skype
Also Zoom . My cousin has downloaded it last week .
Whats App was tried but that was too tinny sounding and distant.
Facebook video was suggested I'll try that with a friend first .

Just an update ..... Something not right with my SKYPE account so Ive uninstalled it to try again. Ive found out that once downloaded it can never be got rid of
Is that right ? a is it correct b is it legit that it cant be removed once download
My cousin and I tried Smartphone to Smartphone . Not successful even with my cuz using bluetooth
We tried landline to landline - again not successful
Im investigating NGT lie - Relay UK - see post about NGT
