I had some rough calculation before based on Rogers plan. For example, if their IP network bandwidth/delay is good to satisfy VOIP delay (150ms) requirement, then, a $30(1GiB) or $60 (3GiB) plan (it seems they don't have a flat rate plan yet) should be plenty enough for the VOIP call. Some expert on the team can help calculate how many bytes it would be for a minute G711 call or G729 call. Then, you can compare the Voice minutes you currently use with Voice Plan to that VOIP minutes/bytes. I did one time before with mine usage and very promising, if quality is good.
It can be calculated roughly like this. Please help correct if you see the logic is wrong. For G711, say, 96kbps equals 12k byte/s. For one minute, it's 12x60=720k bytes/minute. 1GiB(1,000,000 KiB)/ 720 KiB/minute=1388 minutes (23 hour).
