Google Duo - is there any charge for using it on O2 contracts

Anonymous
Not applicable

So my wife and I have o2, (my daughter has Virgin unlimited).

 

This new video call app from Google - and it's really good - "Google Duo" - what I need to know is will there be a charge for video calling using it and would it eat into our monthly 4G data (she had 3Gb and myself 5Gb a month)?

 

Plus if we video called our daughter on her Virgin phone, would we be charged for cross-network video calls using Duo?

 

 

Ta clever readers  slight_smile

 

Paul.

Any video calls through apps just use data. There are no network charges or mins usage.
If you are on wifi it won't come from your phone's allowance but if not it will be eating into your 5gb.
