Unfortunately for you, the bandwidth consumption is close to skype for
video calls according to UQAM (Montreal university) tests. The chat
consumes way less, but it sounds you want audio + video.

Hi all,
My chorus is thinking about having a coach work with us over a Skype
connection, with the catch that we rehearse at a church whose WiFi
we're not allowed to use. (It's complicated.)
It would be possible to use a cell phone as a hotspot, but I'm not
sure if it would provide enough bandwidth for the call. The rehearsal
would be about three hours, so at 128kbps (Google's answer for Video
calling), that would burn through 135M, so about 1/7 of my monthly
allotment. Then again, video isn't necessarily required, and that
would cut down the required bandwidth to 30kbps.
Are there any alternative products or services that anyone could
suggest for this type of application?
