im in england and i got a 63yr old not tech savvy lodger who works in germany for extended periods.
the land mail service is slow , unreliable and not suitable for anything urgent .
he has a uk mobile phone that doesnt work in germany but i assume a locally bought sim card will solve that ?
i dont own a mobile and have no desire to get one ( i like the idea of being the only person in the uk without one

)

so my question is :
would he be able to send a text message from his mobile in germany to my hotmail acc ?

i understand u can send a message from your hotmail/messenger acc to a mobile device so i assume here would be no problem for me to message him.

he is coming back over in august for a week, so im hoping i can set up something.

i shall also sit him down and set up a hotmail acc for him and show him how to send an e-mail but i dont know if there is an internet/ library near him (the town of baumholder near the us base),
just so u know what im dealing with, he makes the thing out of the fantastic four look like an anorexic wimp and if u asked him to make dinner he would probably lumber outside and club the first animal he comes across to death with his bare handsand throw it on the table.
