What is VoIP ?

What is VoIP ? If you're reading this, then it's pretty likely you've already heard of the service.
Voice Over IP is a new communication means that let you telephone with Internet at almost null cost. How this is possible, what systems are used, what is the standard, all that is covered by this site.
Voice over Internet Protocol offers the capability to transmit voice communications over the Internet, employing a variety of end user devices. In most cases, VoIP services convert the analog voice from a telephone (using an adapter between the telephone andthe Internet connection) into digital signals that travel as packets over the Internet then are converted back to analog voice at the receiving end. When placing a VoIP call using a phone with an adapter, a consumer hears a regular dial tone and can dial traditional phone numbers. Other VoIP services allow calls directly from a computer, either to a network of common service subscribers or to any telephone number. True VoIP requires the customer to have a broadband connection, such as cable modem or DSL.
Currently, VoIP services are not subject to many state or federal taxes and fees, and thus can offer calling plans at rates competitive with those of wireline and wireless telephony providers. However, it is difficult to compare prices due to differences in quality ofservice and features.Last comment: December 2017
