Ways to communicate as an OOS investor

[Isaac Geller]

Hi all,

I am an investor from Israel trying to get into the US market.

In Israel everything is done using cell phone. Lots of families doesn't use or evenb own a telephone. Moreover whatssup app is used by all, for messages and calls. However when I try to contact PMs or agents in the US the claim they don't use whatssup app, and the only way to contact them is by a telephone. This is very frustrating because calling from a cell to out of state is very costly, and with all the new technology around I just don't see any good reason to do that. 

Am I missing something? Do locals use free communucation apps that maybe I am unaware of? How do you contact your agents GCs etc. with a cell, in a cheap time saving efficient way?

Thanks guys!
