What Are The Requirements For VoIP?
All VoIP services require an Internet connection, and the faster the better. A pretty standard 512 kbps downstream, 128 kbps upstream connection would be adequate, though if you have more than one person using VoIP at the same time on the same connection, the requirements increase. Hardware requirements are not all that stringent; any machine purchased in the last 18 months (or even a bit earlier) should be able to handle VoIP. Exact requirements may vary from provider to provider, however. An audio-in device (microphone) and audio-out device (headset or speakers) are also required.
