VOIP-A brief defination

Internet Voice, also known as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), is a technology that allows you to make telephone calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line. VoIP will move the telecommunications services to Internet-based platforms in the short future!

VoIP converts the voice signal from your telephone into a digital signal that travels over the internet then converts it back at the other end so you can speak to anyone with a regular phone number.

Some services using VoIP may only allow you to call other people using the same service, but others may allow you to call anyone who has a telephone number - including local, long distance, mobile, and international numbers.

Also, while some services only work over your computer or a special VoIP phone, other services allow you to use a traditional phone through an adaptor-When placing a VoIP call using a phone with an adapter, you'll hear a dial tone and dial just as you always have.
