How Much Data Does a Call Use?

See how much mobile data or Wi-Fi a Talk360 call uses and learn tips to keep data usage low while calling.

Updated this week

When you make a call with Talk360, the app uses mobile data or Wi-Fi to connect the call. Because Talk360 is a VoIP calling app, data usage is quite low and designed to be data-efficient.

Average Data Usage Per Call

On average, a Talk360 call uses:

  • About 0.5–1 MB per minute

  • Around 30–60 MB per hour

This can vary slightly depending on:

  • Call quality and network stability

  • Whether you’re using Wi-Fi or mobile data

  • Background apps are using data at the same time

What Does This Mean in Practice?

To give you a simple idea:

  • A 10-minute call uses roughly 5–10 MB

  • A 30-minute call uses roughly 15–30 MB

  • A 1-hour call uses up to 60 MB

This makes Talk360 calls much lighter on data compared to video calls or streaming.

Tips to Save Data

  • Use Wi-Fi whenever possible

  • Close other apps that use data in the background

  • Keep the app updated for the best performance and efficiency

ℹ️ Good to know
The person you’re calling does not use internet or data at all; they only need regular mobile coverage. You only need an internet connection to place the call.
