    I mean, even if the constant ping was every minute. Back in the 2000s, some younings were sending texts multiple times a minute. So they did need more bandwidth.

    Also, was receiving also part of the ping?

      The ping was constantly. It’s what registered the phone on the network and routed calls. If you called a phone it didn’t know it was being called until the next ping cycle - so it was happening a few times a second.
