In the U.K., Mother’s Day – aka Mothering Sunday – falls March 30. When adult children and their parents are separated by many miles, Skype keeps those familial bonds strong.
A recent survey by Skype shows that 60 percent of participants who can’t be with their mums in person plan to use Skype to make a video call. More than half of the adult children surveyed say they feel closer to their mothers because of Skype.
Many of them are planning virtual surprises to celebrate these special women, including gift deliveries while they’re on Skype video calls.
Head over to the Skype Play Blog to see what other surprises people are planning, and for more survey results focused on Skype and Mothering Sunday.
