I am abroad in Europe and would like to have video conference with individuals in Nigeria.

I believe it may cost people a lot of data.

How can this be done without using too much of their data?

Look forward to your ideas.

Skype uses proprietary point to point protocol for communication.
Do Qos traffic shaping on your router, suscribe to mtn or glo and you should be fine.

So Skype is less costly on data for people in Nigeria than other forms? Does Whatsapp use much data? sorry I am technologically ignorant.

What does Qos traffic shaping on router do?
How is it done?
I presume when you say subscribe to MTN or Glo you are talking broadband,

I dont think whatsapp video is common in nigeria, skype is. I used this skype video call feature about two years ago with my former boss and wife. The technology is what a lot of international broadcast media use for their interviews.
Qos shaping allows you alllocate as much bandwidth to a particular device on your shared network.
Those two providers should be able to meet your need.

Thanks, So if someone in Nigeria uses skype how much would it cost for a 10min video conference? Would it be much cheaper for them if the do not use the video option?

Does regular whatsapp cost any data at all?
