Researching a couple of different sources says it's uses about 25-30MB for 10 minutes, so an hour would be 150-200 MB. Much would depend on the resolution of the camera quality of the video being shared.

It doesn't matter if it is a local number or someone on the other side of the world with facetime - it only uses data and there is no long distance charges or penalties.

That's a great question, delta3. Facetime will use data if you are not connected to Wi-Fi, or if you have Wi-Fi assist enabled on your device. If you are only connected to Wi-Fi, with Wi-Fi assist disabled, it will not use data. Wi-Fi assist can use LTE data to improve the preformance of weak or unstable Wi-Fi networks, so it can cause you to use data unexpectedly. If you are overseas, and do not want to be charged for a TravelPass session, you can leave your device in Airplane Mode, and connect to Wi-Fi. Is this information useful?
