You aren't paying any money to make WhatsApp calls. Just mb And your can easily check how many mb any previous call you had took. Just go to the call section on WhatsApp |

The Caller does Because WhatsApp servers compress the audio before they send it you. 1 Like |

ollah2: So for pure VOIP connections, the voice codecs used determine the level of compression of the data before it is sent over the connection. There are a number of codecs such as Opus, ulaw, alaw, G722, G729 etc. Opus is very optimal as it heavily compresses data before sending it over the network. It is however very computationally intensive and can be a big drain on battery. But for WhatsApp, I expect that both ends use the same codecs and therefore use the same amount of data at both ends. I've not looked in-depth at what codecs WhatsApp uses so I cannot say whether they use an optimal codec or not 1 Like |

chloride6: Reference for this please. I'd be interested to know if there is public information on this. AFAIK, compression or decompression occurs at the Endpoint (phone or softphone) for VoIP communications |

I had to ask this question because believe or not, a girl flashed me with whatsapp call. She literally called me and said call me back and hung up. I laughed so hard. I tried explaining to her that both parties were billed at the same bytes per second but she won't believe.The girl na dullard. |

The person that does most of the listening. Since calls are essentially UDP packets, the person speaking is sending packets that the listener downloads. |

Unlike regular calls, the receiver does not incur charges to receive the call. But for WhatsApp, both parties pay data charges to call and receive a call. |

Are people still confused to this extent? If i send you a 100mb file on whatsapp you'd use the same amount to download it... WhatsApp calls are like voice note its lower in size because WhatsApp is light and highly optimised, a 1hr call won't be up to 15mb |

ollah2: You both pay the same: you both send and receive the same number of packets, just as you would with a file. MTN or Glo don't care (or shouldn't) about the contents of your packets - whether you shared a video or you make a voice call. You both pay for the transfer of data (unless somehow it's cheaper to download than to upload) For example, caller sends 1MB worth of their voice, you receive 1MB of their voice; meanwhile you sent 2MB of your voice (because you talk twice as much as you listen), and caller gets 2MB of your voice. You both transferred 3MB each, and get billed for that same amount of data. Now the only difference I can see is if that each of you has a different tarriff/plan based on your phone provider or the bundle, but all else being equal, you will be charged the same, as you both used the same amount of data for the call. This is obviously different from a standard phone call or even sms. 1 Like |

It depends though. I used to be very close to someone in Kenya and I used to decline her video calls until she said that, since she's the one calling, she is the one that will be debited. I had to explain to her that it's not like that ooo, Dem go debit Me too. But who flashes on WhatsApp?? That's weird. I hardly pick WhatsApp calls, especially those who didn't inform me ahead of time. I'll just cut it and ignore. 1 Like |
