VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)
VoIP is a combination of hardware and software that enables people to make telephone calls via the Internet, your phone or computer must be connected to the Internet to make these calls.

It is possible to actually dial an ordinary phone number, or use a shorter number to dial someone using the same VoIP service provider direct. As you do so, software running on your computer, phone, or phone converter box sends a message that a call is beginning, then the number dialled.

Voice signals are converted to packets of data, which are transmitted on shared, public lines, hence avoiding the tolls of the traditional, public-switched telephone network (PSTN). If the person you are calling is using an ordinary phone, the data packets will be sent to a gateway run by your VoIP provider. At the gateway the data joins the PSTN (ordinary phone network), and is sent to the person you as it would in a normal phonecall.

VoIP applications can generally be used with a simple microphone and computer speakers, but IP telephones or VoIP boxes can also be used, providing an experience identical to normal telephoning. In the past year, the quality and reliability of VoIP technology has improved to the point that vast numbers of users have abandoned their standard telephone contracts entirely, in favor of VoIP.

Lower Call Costs Via VoIP

Depending on how your VoIP provider is set up, it may monitor the length of your call to the PSTN and debit your chargecard for the time you’ve used up, or you may be paying a flat monthly fee for access to the PSTN gateway.

If your call was IP-0nly (not to an ordinary phone number), it will normally be FREE!
