What is VoIP? (VoIP Solutions)

Maybe you have come across the term "voip solutions" a few times, but do not really know what does it means and how it affects you. Let me share you some information about VoIP solutions in a layman way of explaning.

VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. In a layman term, VoIP means making or receiving calls over the internet. Instead of using the standard telephone set, now you can make a call via the internet. Doesn't it sound interesting?

In order to use VoIP, you need to have a high speed internet connection. You can look into your local yellowpages or visit your local internet providers and sign up for the VoIP services. Usually they can set it up for you or you get the VoIP software and follow the installation instructions.

There are several ways to make a call using the VoIP. One way is from one computer to another computer. This is the easiest way. To do this, you have to install the VoIP softwares and you need to have a microphone and speakers. The other party too must have this software installed in order to make the communication successful. Instead of using the physical phone to make a call, you use the VoIP softwares. Once connected, you only pay the normal internet connections that you normally pay. No additional charges. Wouldn't it save you a lot?

Another way is by using the analogue telephone adaptor. You need to connect you normal telephone into the adaptor, then connect the adaptor to your internet. When a call is made, the adaptor will change the analogue voice signal into a digital voice signal.

For medium or large businesses, they normally use the IP phone. The IP phone looks like the normal cell phone but plug directly into the Ethernet connector on the computer. The IP phone is equipped will all the necessary softwares to enable the communication. The IP phone can be set up within an organization's internet network. Therefore, the users in this network can make calls without extra charge, regardless of the location of your network, either in the same countries or not.
