    Thanks. Getting my sister to do anything other than what she wants, uses, etc. -- is like trying to move the earth off its axis, LOL.

    I am going to offer Google Duo and whatsapp...as it's better to offer her two options, LOL. Thanks again!

    Got it...thanks. Yes, I was only looking at "phone" options, not a tablet or laptop type of situation. The older kids use their iPhones to Face Time with their dad, friends, etc.; and the little one uses her mom's phone to Face Time with everyone! LOL. Thanks again.

    The best would be whatsapp and it can be downloaded on iOS

    BBM does have cross platform video calling and it really works well. I use it with my Co worker who has Samsung and my wife and kids who have iPhones. Much better video than Skype and BBM doesn't data mine.

    BBM is great for video calling too, and don't use phone number to log in.

    Yeah my extended family is about 90% Apple now.... mostly due to Facetime and the find your friends apps. Those of us on Android are kinda left out sometimes.....
