    You obviously have access to the internet.
    Does he?

    If so why not use a Tesco Internet phone.
    My friend in India is able to get onto the internet, so I bought us both a tesco phone.
    When we want to chat we email for a set time or we use the mobiles for a short call and say "Hey I'll phone you in half an hour,OK"
    That gives us both time to set up the computers and internet phone.
    The calls to each other are totally free then.
    Worked extremely well when their daughter stayed with us and phoned home for about an hour every day, just talking to her mum and dad.
