That’s very different to 20+ years ago. In 2003, International phone calls were prohibitively expensive. Skype existed, but you needed to both be at home on your computers. Home Internet in Australia was probably at best a 1.5MBit ADSL, Maybe Cable if you lived in one of the areas where it was just coming onto the scene. Then, there’s the timezone issue - but that’s still an issue. It is loads easier to stay in contact today.
My brother settled in the USA, so these have been big factors for my family since the 90’s.
Lol, I’m literally talking a out having it on my phone in Australia 17 years ago… That just happened to be my arrival, not the origin of the tech. Not to mention having the better app on my cimouter. Ads2+l has been a common technology worldwide for more than 20 years too. We don’t need nbn to have video chat.
I agree, it’s become easier but living overseas has not been a big problem for communication for more than a generation.
