Call time is the amount of time you've spent on calls on your iPhone. You can see the total talk time for the current period or in your device's lifetime, and this can easily be found in your Cellular settings. If you want to check your call log history, you can do so from the Phone app. This wikiHow teaches you how to check the total amount of time you have spent on calls on your iPhone, both for your current billing cycle and for your phone's lifetime.

Things You Should Know

• To check call time, open "Settings" → "Cellular" → scroll down to "Call Time".
• Current Period represents the call time since the last reset, and Lifetime represents the running total.
• To check your call history, open the Phone app. Tap "i" next to a call to view its details.

   Scroll down to the “Call Time” section. This will be at the very bottom of the screen. This is where you’ll see your talk time for the current period and since you started using the phone (lifetime).

   • Current Period: This is the time you spent on the phone since you last reset the call statistics. If you’ve never reset them, this number will be cumulative.
   • Lifetime: This is a running total of all talk time. This count will not be affected by resetting your call statistics.
4.

   Reset your call time statistics (optional). If you want to reset the Current Period, tap Reset Statistics at the very bottom of the page. Tap Reset Statistics again to confirm.

   • The number next to Current Period will reset to 0.
   • If you want to avoid unwanted charges, it’s a good idea to do this at the start of each billing cycle so the “Current Period” count is always correct. Set a reminder so that you never forget.

  No, talk time is talk time and not how you call someone.
