Yes, it consumes bandwidth, but with most ISP's you will find it hard to exceed your limits because as a rule the ISP throttles your max speed so that even if you were to use your PC 24-7 online it shouldn't exceed the limit and I don't think VoIP consumes but a fraction, it's not totally insignificant but it's not gigatonbillions either.
Since ISP's purchase their connections in bulk their own bandwidth is a total they then have to share with all the users, it isn't so important if one uses a bit more than the other, so long you're not trying to set up a server, I think that is the only thing they frown on.
In conclusion, yes it consumes some bandwidth but no, I honestly don't think you have much to be concerned about.
