Which voice calling app uses the most data per minute? Top 10 were tested by AndroidAuthority and here they came with results
Free voice calling apps, which use internet to make calls, can offer a cheapest way to keep in contact with friends abroad.
In the testings you’ll find famous apps like Hangouts, Skype, WhatApp and Viber, including Line and Nimbuzz which were tested over 4G
A huge difference is spotted between the least and the heaviest data consuming apps. Interestingly Hangouts, Skype and WhatsApp, consume the most data, while KakaoTalk, Nimbuzz and Line all comparatively use less amount of data. Facebook Messenger is also one of the data efficient app for placing a voice call.
Skype uses nearly 2.7 times data/minute when compared with others.
Whatsapp 2.3 times than KakaoTalk while Hangouts & Tango charge twice than KakaoTalk.
Difference between KakaoTalk & Skype data usage per hour comes out to be 33.4 MB which isn't ignorable.
MagicJack & Viber consume more data than economical ones but they maintain equilibrium between data consumption and voice quality which seems to be good actually.
A 3G connection is good enough for the best voice call quality that Skype and the other apps have to offer on Android keeping aside unlimited WiFi users .
KakaoTalk, Nimbuzz & Line actually sacrifices in terms of call quality in order to lessen data usage, but it works good for 2G users getting nearly Bandwidth of 256kbps.
