In response to "If you use the same iCloud account you'll be able to see his Safari history (and he'll be able to see yours)." by spamlet

I think I'll set him up with a Google account so I can message him through Hangouts.

He's got a Microsoft account because of Xbox and I'll need to set him up with iCloud. Why can't Google just take over the world already?

If he's going to have a full device, why not use SMS/iMessage? - spamlet Sep 8, 14:55 3
- We're going to activate on Tracfone so he'll have limited data and voice minutes. - Mop Sep 8, 15:14 2
  - You are correct on iMessage. If you both have iOS devices, I don't know why you'd add a third complication to it rather than using the native app? -- nm - spamlet Sep 8, 15:25 1
    - I'm not in the Apple eco-system, and the way Google Hangouts permeates everything is pretty slick. -- nm - Mop Sep 8, 15:46
