Voice over IP

Voice over IP (VoIP) allows you to make telephone calls using a computer network, over a data network like the Internet.

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.
