   5: How many followers have you got on Twitter? I get breaking news all day, so I don't watch the news on TV. To set up a packet data box connection, select Mobile network. Leave a voice message, and I'll listen to it later. I prefer having face-to-face conversation on Skype. It's easy to keep in touch with people. 6.  You don't have to pay for this app - it's free. Is the number of characters in an SMS limited? If you are paying low rates, it means you are getting a cheap deal. Your home telephone is called a landline. A recipient is someone who received something. I was born in England, so French is a foreign language to me. To change the clock display on your phone, go into settings. 7.  Can you translate this word into English, please? An error message will appear if you make a mistake. Does this app allow us to create groups for messaging? My friends and I use Instagram to share our photos. If the message contains more than 140 characters, you can't tweet
