Just made a test:
1 minute on-net call to Echo service: 550 kbyte
1 minute call to phone: 490 kbyte

One thing to note:
When talking skype-to-skype you only transmit data when you actually speak, inbetween the data rate drops significantly. While speaking i saw 50-70kbps
When talking to phones the data rate is constantly 33kbps, no matter if speaking or not.
So you can calculcate skype2phone=66kbps + overhead -> about 450kbyte/minute
