PAYG Mobile Broadband - How much will it cost to use SKYPE?

[Mike1970]

Hey,

I have a PAYG drongle and want to use a Skype phone to make free calls. I wondered if this will take lots of credit from my drongle account.


Thank you

Mike

Hi there Mike1970,

This is a toughie.....I've done Google search for 'how much data will I use on Skype' and Skype support says the following:

Skype's answer

Then there's another thread online which gives a totally different view:

Independant answer

The Skype service is rather data hungry in my opinion as it's live streaming and will use much more data than say browsing a few web pages and checking email.

Because VOIP services such as Skype are yet to be supported on our network, then we're unable to quote specific data usage for a typical session.

I'll leave thip open to other users who may be able to offer further assistance.

Sorry,
