Read through the end of this blog, as we are going to answer this question thoroughly!

Do FaceTime Calls Show Up On Phone Bill?

To simply answer the question: NO! Facetime calls do not show up on your phone bill, like normal calls. 

A normal Facetime call requires internet and via the internet, it establishes a connection between two devices. The internet connection can come through your cellular network or WiFi.

So in very simple words, Facetime calls require an internet connection only. And since they are not normal calls, your carrier does not have any role in the calls. That is why they do not show up on your phone bill.

Also, if you are using cellular data for Facetime calls then the data used during the call won't be part of your phone's bill, instead it will be a mere data usage bill just like a normal data bill you get every month without any mention of Facetime app calls. No one will be able to tell any details about you using Facetime by seeing your phone bill as it will all be under data usage.

Keep in mind, that even if Facetime is free, you need internet connection. And if you are connected with cellular data, it might get consumed quickly as Facetime app consumes a lots of data in order to deliver quality video calling experience. Thus, having a good cellular data plan is always suggested if you generally use Facetime.

So if you have a concerned if anyone can track your Facetime details from your phone bill then that is not possible in any scenario. The only way they can get their hands on your Facetime call history is by accessing your device itself.

For your phone bill, using Facetime is just using the cellular data and it can’t be used to draw any conclusions. It is almost as if you are browning the internet for other stuff. So you do not have to worry about it at all.

We hope this guide helps you understand the concept better.

Conclusion

Thus, Facetime calls do not show on your phone bill, like normal calls. Instead, they come under data-usage without mention of any Facetime app call's history.
