Does anyone have a good alternative for someone who is not tech savvy at all and on an Android phone?
I set this up on my mom’s phone because she doesn’t get good enough cell reception at or around her place so an internet based messaging system works best. She is in very poor health and can barely hold the phone so something that doesn’t have a lot of small icons and in general just easy to setup and use would be great.

- cbdumas 8y agoI haven't used Skype outside of work for probably 10 years
- codeulike 8y agoWhy not WhatsApp? Very simple interface, although rumour has it, ads might start appearing soon.

- secabeen 8y agoSetup a family slack. Works well, full media support. Options for bringing other people in and having family connection there, or you can just DM each other.
- tinus_hn 8y agoWhy not plain old voip? Works like a regular old phone and you can hook up a ton of devices because it’s an open standard.
- paxys 8y agoThe biggest requirement for a messaging app is that people you talk to need to be using it. How often does she use messaging, and who all does she communicate with the most? Start from there, and you'll soon find an obvious answer. WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Kik, Signal, WeChat, Line, Skype, iMessage all work well.
