What is Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
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 standard
telephone signal before it reaches its 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. 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.
Equipment Required
Special VoIP phones plug directly into your broadband connection and act like a traditional
phone. The can also connect into your traditional phone sockets and become an all
in one phone.

Skype is an example of a VoIP provider and they also offer cheap local and international
calls to none VoIP users which can make a big saving.

If I Have VoIP, Who Can I Call
Generally you can call anyone who has a telephone number
- including local, long distance, mobile, and international numbers. If you are calling
someone who has a regular analogue phone, that person does not need any special equipment
to talk to you.
Advantages of VoIP
Some VoIP services offer features and services that are not available with a traditional phone, or are available but only for an additional fee.
Can I use my Computer While I talk on the Phone
Yes.
Does my Computer Have to be Turned on
Not if you buy a specialised VoIP phone, but
you internet will need to be connected at all times.
How do you tell if its a VoIP phone Call
if you have a specialised VoIP phone this
will let you know where the call is coming from, If you don't then you will receive
the call via your computer.
