Redrover Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hi - just wondering if anyone living in Oz uses this with friends/family back in the uk and what the performance is like. Is it smooth or a bit 'thunderbirds'? Is the connection reliable or does it drop out or depend on time of day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memmymooch Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hope it's good have been planning on using that rather than Skype to keep in touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicF Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I've never used it but my eldest uses it to talk to his best friend in the UK. He says it works well and so far he has not had any problems with the connection dropping out. Apparently it's sometimes a bit jerky at times but it's pretty smooth most of the time. To be honest he's a rather impatient 11 year old who doesn't understand technology being slow so if it was too bad I would have heard about it by now.

caronandrod Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Haven't tried it but I use skype every week and that works great for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helly80 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I use FaceTime loads with my parents and some friends,then Skype with others. I prefer FaceTime, it does freeze sometimes but majority of the time it's great. I find I get best Internet connection for FaceTime out my back garden, always clear and never freezes out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
