What is VoIP

VoIp stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. Simply called voip, voice over ip or Internet voice, VoIp is an emerging technology that enables you to transmit voice over the Internet in the same way that data is transmitted. This makes it possible for user to talk over the internet like they would normally do with their regular telephone.

Here is how it works. Subscribers to the service use a special Voip phone to place their calls. They can also call using their computer numeric pad. Some voip providers make availabe to their subscribers a special adapter that converts the regular analog signal from your traditional phone into digital signals that are then transmitted over your internet broadband and then converted back into analog signal at the other end.

What you get, and how you make your voip calls depends on what service package your voip provider offers.

If you are thinking about going voip, it is important to check and review what service package your provider offer before you sign up.

Keep voip-ing.
