What is voip?
Voip, or Voice over Internet Protocol, is
the routing of voice conversations over the
Internet or through any other IP-based

VoIP protocols are used to carry voice

referred to as Voice over IP or VoIP
protocols. The technology enables
people to use the Internet as the
transmission medium for telephone calls.
Voice data is sent in packets through your

by traditional POTS lines (Plain Old

less expensive than typical telephone long
distance packages, plus one high speed
Internet connection can serve for multiple
phone lines with no loss in functionality,
reliability, or voice quality.
