How much data does Skype take up if connected to a 3G?

The reason why I ask this is because, Orange/Vodafone's Unlimited Internet is capped at 500mb. I got a shock when my data usage was over 600mb which doesnt seem right to me because all I use it for is emails and the occassionally surfing of the web.

The only thing I can think of is when I log onto the built in IM (facebook, MSN) VOip and Skype logs on as well. Exactly how much data does this take up?

Any thoughs on this?

Thanks.


remember your n900 is downloading full webpages now, not just some shrunk down wap site. good tip is to access all ur regular websites via wifi first... all images etc will be downloaded to ur cache. then you will download less when you access via 3g. also ive read that a few mb is used up is you refresh you app manager a lot. also widgets updating etc... reset my dataplan counter 2 days ago and ive built up 144mb....

i rang vodaphone. they said they wont charge for over usage of your 500mb. unless you do it all the time. they will also ring you tol let you know you are close to your limit
