What is VoIP?
VoIP, or “Voice over Internet Protocol” refers to sending voice and fax phone calls over data networks, particularly the Internet. This technology offers cost savings by making more efficient use of the existing network. VOIP provides the same quality as a traditional phone service, but you receive more features and pay far less for calls around the world.
The VoIP (Voice Over IP) protocol allows you to make and receive phone calls through your broadband Internet connection using a standard touch-tone phone. You make a call using VoIP by dialing a number on your phone, as you always have. To receive a call using VoIP, simply pick up your phone when it rings, as you always have. All VoIP calls are carried over the Internet until each call needs to be directed to a regular phone line. This allows you to save money on local, long distance, and international calls.
