Hi Neal, FaceTime calls now go through a central server, rather than being point to point. I believe this is because of some patent suit that Apple lost. This is also why FaceTime HD has gone away in iOS 7. That's why they say that the data used may vary depending on how many people are using the service. Apple has software looking at server load, and will scale back the bit rate hopefully to ensure a smooth audio experience. . If you'd like to see how much data a particular FaceTime call has used, be it audio or video, open the FaceTime app that is now included on all iOS 7 devices, and choose the "Recents" tab. Double tap on "More Info" for the call in which you're interested. There, you'll seed a summary of the calls to or from that person, the version of FaceTime, audio or video, that was used, and how much data each call used.
