One of my students traveled in Europe this past summer and shared an app she used to communicate with friends and family in the United States - Pinger (http://www.pinger.com/). Needless to say I downloaded it to use when we go to Italy in a few months. Pinger allows for free text messaging using WiFi (vs cellular services) in 35 countries. It works just like text messaging on a smartphone. I had my husband download it so that we could give it a trial run. Right now it is available for the iPhone, but it looks like there is a beta version available for the Android devices.
Information on the website indicates that you can also use it to call landline phones. I am looking forward to using the app and learning more.

ReplyDeleteHello, my name is Karen Cole and I am the community manager of A Community for Nursing Educators - an online community, sponsored by Lippincott, Williams, and Wilkins.
I was given your name by Linda Thebe as someone who would be great at a podcast to post on the community. A podcast consists of a 20-30 minute phone interview that is recorded, edited
and posted on the community. You would be welcome to choose a topic and questions. Our goal is to provide a place where nursing educators can collaborate, ask questions and share best
practices.
Please feel free to join the community and look around to see what we are all about.
Thank you for your time,
Karen Cole
