which home video phone should I get?

My dad really wants to be able to make video phone calls so he can see and communicate with my brother in the army. He does not have a computer and he wouldn't know how to use a computer or the internet if he did.

Can you recommend a good option for him? I was thinking he should get a voip video phone to work through broadband or wifi (which we have). Are there any good easy to use devices that will allow him to make free calls to a computer? Would it be better to get two devices, one for him, and one for my brother?

Does skype, ooVoo, or other programs allow unlimited free one on one calls on any of the video phones currently on the market?

I can help him set it up, but he will want to be able to figure out how to use it when I am not at home.
