Does anyone have any info on the amount of data used in a VOIP call ie MB's per minute? What I am looking at here is the cost of mobile data plans and the data consumed in a call versus the cost of a normal cellphone call.
Thanks.
I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

In most cases, the normal VoIP telephone call will use up 90 Kbps (kilobits per second). If you have a Broadband Internet service provider that doesn’t offer much bandwidth then most VoIP providers give you the option to lower the VoIP voice quality by lowering the bandwidth used for VoIP calls to 60 Kbps or, to really conserve your bandwidth, 30 Kbps. Most people can't tell the difference between the three settings.I had a read of the NZConnection VOIP section, but it didn't dive into how much data was used.
