Do they have always on reliable wifi?
If they have wifi: Buy an iPad (around £400) and use Apple or Facebook messaging and tools.
If they do not have wifi: Buy the mobile version of an iPad (around £460) and use WhatsApp (needs a phone number you see!) http://www.three.co.uk/tablets/apple/ipad-9.7?featuretab=Usability but this requires PAYG for the 3g/4g and they will burn through data if they're doing long video calls (adds another £80-90 per year) or do a contract at £33 per month for 2 years (total cost £792).
It's a shame you need a phone number to activate WhatsApp.
