How much data does a voice call use? -

I've asked this before, but can't remember or find the answer. With roaming data rates really becoming MUCH CHEAPER, at least w. U.S. carriers, at some point it would be cheaper to use a wifi/data connection than a voice connection to make calls.
Eg. of lower rates:
In the U.S. the 2 biggest carriers (ATT and Verizon) used to charge about $20/Mb for data. Now they charge about $25-$30 for 130Mb of data. IOW, you now get about one hundred times more data for the same price.
Make use of T-M's UMA/wifi free calling from any place in the world with access to wifi. I use an LG G6, wife an S7)
A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20ยข/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries.
My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
