skype is a possibility but it would depend on the model phone he has and the download limit on his mobile.

I used to phone my mother every Sunday for all of 30 seconds to check that she was stil, um, alive. It seemed adequate to me.

Gerls (see also: Mrs Nick) can chatter away on the phone for hours  noooo:

Surprised you didn't just use a call box and press button 'B' if she answered.

When my Mum died I found amongst her papers, photos and stuff the five postcards I had sent her during the first four years after I left home to go into the RAF. I had only been home twice in that time too.  redface:
