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

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.
