What is VoIP

VOIP is an acronym for Voice Over Internet Protocol, or in more common terms phone service over the Internet. If you have a reasonable quality Internet connection you can get phone service delivered through your Internet connection instead of from your local phone company.

Basically, it’s communication that is sent over the Internet as opposed to the traditional copper wiring (analog). This means, that all VoIP communication is sent as packets or chunks of digital data over a LAN (Local Area Network) and WAN (Wide Area Network).
