Skype was invented for peer to peer communication. Skype allows their registered users to communicate through instant messaging, file transfer, and video conferencing in easy way.
Here are examples of some typical Skype data usage:
- Skype-to-Skype calls: 50kbps or around 3MB for one minute of calling
- Calls to mobile numbers or landlines: 6-20 kbps or around 1MB for one minute of calling
- Video calls between two mobile phone devices: 500kbps
- Video calls between a mobile phone and a computer: 600kbps
Having a large number of contacts on your Skype account also increases the data usage, as the application has to update more contact information, such as statuses, profiles and mood messages.

How do you stop Skype from automatically updating?
In skype ... Tools > Options > Advanced. In the "When a new verison of skype is available ..." section uncheck the "Automatically download and install it" check box.
If like me your camera stopped working after an update then installing version 4.0.1 (get from web) and unchecking this option will mean your camera will keep working and you won't be forced to go out and buy a webcam that skype is getting a kickback from.

Pretty secure, if you have too much of a problem with it continuously falling over, then get some superglue or "NO MORE NAILS". That stuff works like an illegal immigrant in North America. Bloomin' hard. I know that hasn't answered your question.... Just make sure you have a firewall, and you know that the site you are sending webcam info on is secure, I.e. MSN, YAHOO etc. Using horrible, cheap looking websites will sometimes expose you to threats etc. Adios
