Do you want to know if calls you make on Snapchat will show up on your phone bill? If so, we will explain the answer to your question in this article.
You may want to keep your Snapchat calls private, and so you don’t want them appearing on your phone bill. Well, this will be covered as well as some other relevant useful information as well.
Lets get right in to this!
Do Snapchat calls show up on your phone bill?
Snapchat calls will not be shown on your phone bill because it is not a traditional phone call to another number. However, Snapchat calls will use cellular data, but most providers do not break down what exactly the cellular data was used for. At most, the bill may say you used data on Snapchat. It won’t say who you made the call to.
Now, we will expand upon this.
When you make a traditional phone call, your phone will connect to your network and ring the number you have dialed.
However, Snapchat uses cellular data or WiFi to make a call.
Essentially, calling someone on Snapchat is the equivalent of Facetiming or Skyping someone.
This means that when you look at your phone bill, it will not be listed on the phone log because you did not call another number.
But, the data you use making the call, if you make the call using cellular data, may be shown on the bill.
Most bills don’t show what the data was used on. In this case, they wouldn’t show you used data for Snapchat. Let alone that you made a call to somebody because you still used the same Snapchat servers that you use when you message someone.
What is a Snapchat call?
We thought it would be useful if we quickly explained what a Snapchat call actually is.
So, instead of sending a Snap or message, you can talk as you would on Facetime to your friend but, directly through Snapchat.
This means you don’t need othe ther Snapchat users phone number, or email to call them.
Overall, a Snapchat call is a great way to directly communicate with another user on the platform.

How to remove Snapchat calls from Recents on your phone
