A VoIP phone, or Voice over Internet Protocol phone, is a device that allows you to make voice calls using the internet rather than traditional telephone lines.
How It Works
VoIP Phone (Voice over Internet Protocol)
Digital Conversion
Your voice is converted into digital data (packets) by the VoIP phone.
Data Packet Routing
Internet routers direct these data packets to their destination using the most efficient path available.
Conversion to Analog
At the receiving end, the digital data is converted back into an analog audio signal so that the recipient can hear your voice.
