A toughie :- how to keep in touch with my 85yr old cousin?

[Jenny105]

Partly a device ****** IT question . Also an accessibility query. Tough

My 85 yr old cousin has an iphone and asked if i could chat face to face with her to liven the days. Shes spoken to her sister and could manage to lipread / the sound was ok.

We tried     Whats app  - too tinny

                    Facetime     -    i have an android phone

Theres nothing else  I know of.   Ilike to use a laptop . Is there anything we missed as a possibility

Skype        theres a thought . Thank you   Our family used to use SKYPE   it went awol so we started using Whats App.

If a laptop was used could my older relative's daughter get Skype up on an  iphone......

Zoom  ?

Zoom's  on my laptop . My cousin may have a tablet.   Any chance ?

 We are going to try Skype

Also Zoom  . My cousin has downloaded it last  week .

Whats App was tried but that was too tinny sounding and distant.

Facebook video was suggested I'll try that with a friend first .

Just an update ..... Something not right with my SKYPE account so Ive uninstalled it to try again. Ive found out that once downloaded it can never be got rid of

Is that right     ?  a  is it correct     b    is it legit that it cant be removed once download

My cousin and I tried Smartphone to Smartphone .  Not successful even with my cuz using bluetooth

We tried landline to landline - again not successful
