   My problem is with overpriced calls to residential landline numbers.   
   My older brother is too befuddled to use a mobile phone, so I call him   
   on his landline every week. But 45minutes at 38cpm gets a bit expensive.   
      
   I wish his son could set him up so I could video call him on a tablet,   
   but so far it has not worked out.
