    facebook messenger and whats app are good for keeping in touch but could be quiet expensive if not used over wifi, fb messenger also has a call function not sure about whats app though.

    No, anything that connects to the Internet is only free over WiFi. Data outside of WiFi is horrendously expensive

    No, hence I said on free WiFi. There are many WiFi spots in the US for free.
