<p>S2 is not much of a phone talker and the cel coverage is lousy. We have a once a week, proof of life, skype date on Sunday’s. It’s worked wonderfully. He’ll text when he’s up and set up a time that suits his schedule. We’ll chat for 30-45 min. His brothers will say hello, and he always wants to see the dog. We usually see and say hello to a roommate or two. Other then that he’ll text a couple of times throughout the week. If something is on his mind he might call to talk. I never call him unless there is something super urgent, and then I text and ask him to call me when he’s free. I’ll text him if there’s something funny on his fb. As other’s have said, you don’t comment on the wall too often for fear of getting blocked. He’s fb friends with grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc., so he either blocks certain things or keeps it clean. I assume we will start with the 1/week Skype when his brother launches in fall 2014 and make adjustments from there.</p>
