FaceTime Data when using a MacBook

HI All,

I like to use my MacBook for FaceTime calls: how do I determine how much data I use when accessing via cell number from my computer?

Everything I read focuses on FT on the phone.

Thank you.

MacBook Airs and Pros have no cellular capability. Calls are made via the internet or a cell phone carrier via your cell phone.


You'll need to look at your data usage information provided by your cell carrier if that's how you're connecting.


However, it won't be by app most likely. Your carried likely doesn't care what app you're using..


Apple computers don't track cell data usage directly since they have no cellular capability.
