This is exactly the reason to use Google hangout. I have been traveling in the MENA region the last few weeks, often relying on a local 3g connection to maintain daily contact with my family. As I was paying per mb/GB of data, I kept a close eye on the transfer. Its completely unscientific, but Google hangout seems to use a fraction of the bandwidth as skype (1/10th?!) So there is a serious discussion to have here, no? If gmail is acceptable for anyone not concerned with US government or allies as an adversary, why not Google hangout?
