Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), is a technology that allows you to make voice calls
using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line.you
can call anyone who has a telephone number - including local, long distance, mobile,
and international numbers for a very low cost.VoIP services convert your voice into a
digital signal that travels over the Internet. If you are calling a regular phone number,
the signal is converted to a regular telephone signal before it reaches the destination.
VoIP can allow you to make a call directly from a computer, a special VoIP phone, or a
traditional phone connected to a special adapter. A broadband (high speed Internet)
connection is required. This can be through a cable modem, or high speed services such
as DSL or a local area network.In addition, wireless "hot spots" in locations such as
airports, parks, and cafes allow you to connect to the Internet and may enable you to
use VoIP service wirelessly. |
