Video chat: FOR WOMEN ONLY! google hangouts, skype, others?

[KristinaKarina]

Hello Ladies!
My name is Kristina, and I go by Kristina Karina on my social media profiles. 
I was wondering if anyone video chats while out on the road? Is it too data intensive?? It might work if you could jump on wi fi at a coffee shop or somewhere... 

Which services do people on this forum use? Google Hangouts ( seems easy since many are google bloggers); 
Skype, or Facetime ( limited to mac/iPhone users, I think)???

Would anyone be interested in trying to video chat? 
I have Google Hangouts, and Skype, and Facetime.
I will set this thread to give me email notifications, so if I miss you while I am online this time,
please be patient! I will get back to you and add you as a buddy here and on your video chat service,
and hopefully we can chat!
Looking forward to it!

All those formats use streaming data. If someone has limited data it will eat it up in no time.

Copy that, cyndi,
Yep, could be if you're not on a coffee shop wifi or maybe some campgrounds offer it.
Speaking of "copy that" anyone use CB radio anymore? I did on my trip back in the 90's.
I just figured out how to use the Tapatalk app, too.
It's really nice chatting with you all!

I use both Skype and Yahoo Messenger when on a home wifi, but I agree with Cyndi that I would not use my mobile broadband data for that. So much easier (cheaper) just to use my unlimited talk telephone to keep in touch.

Yeah, in some other threads I read where people telecommute from the road and they have a "hot spot" that produces wi go so they can get on line and work from their laptop/tablet.

I have a hot spot but I pay for the data. so I try to keep the usage down. I just use it for non streaming type of stuff. highdesertranger

I telecommute.   Work provided phone for work tethering.  Personal phone, free wi-fi ....  for personal.

Is why I need to be in ATT 4G coverage.  Does make the campsite search interesting.
