How much kb's in 1 minute voice call?

[adamr]

ok got VOIP on my cell, just wanna know how much data will i be using in a one minute voice conversation ... on average

[Syndyre]

Hard to say obviously depends on codecs used etc. but I've heard a figure of 500KB/min for Skype quoted before.

I'd say about 300KB to 500KB, I'll try to measure it next time I'm on Skype

Depends on codec, PC-skype uses on adsl line about 6-8 kb send, and another 4-8 on recieve. so u can say a average of around 6.5 up and 6.5 down. or a combined rate of around 13kb per sec (wich gives u around 780kb per minute) (if you use Virgin mobile wich uses GPRS / EDGE at 50cents per meg thats around 35cents to 40cents per minute)

But it will vary

Skype automatically selects the best codec depending on the connection between yourself and the person you are calling. On average, Skype uses between 3-16 kilobytes/sec depending on bandwidth available for other party, network conditions in between, callers CPU performance, etc.

Skype also uses "0-0.5 kilobytes/sec while idle".
