  1. Hello

    I would like to get one internet stick with 8GB data transfer/month and I would like to know how much I can use skype (calling, without video)?

    Anybody that could help me a bit...?


    Thanks!

    Around 50 kbit/s for voice ... in all not a great drain on 8 gigabytes of data

    1000 to the mb div by 50 = 20mins

    Donīt know if BJSīs "20 min" means total talk time.
    But by 3 MB per minute, you get 180MB per hour. And - for easy calculatiion - 8000 MB / 180 MB gives you 44 hours

    Edit: the 3 MB data came from a skype forum - but other say itīs only about 50 MB / hour. Depends on your connection. But sure a lot of hours talking with 8 GB / month
